Engaging with planet roasters

jeudi 24 février 2022 à 00:06

The Church of England plans to "engage" with planet roasters rather than divest from them.

People that profit from fossil fuels have found their way into various councils in institutions that are supposed to serve the public good. They use the resulting influence to protect their future profits by blocking moves that would serve the institutions' goals by reducing greenhouse emissions.

See the example of WGBH and its science programs (David Koch left the board, but kept influence on NOVA ; he died in 2019).

Experience shows that "engaging" with oil companies means nothing more than choosing to believe their greenwashing.
