Burning fossil fuels makes wildfires more frequent and more intense. Of course those who have made record profits causing the problem should pick up the bill.

Crop yields down, our countryside scorched and over 2800 people are dead due to this summer's heatwaves. Meanwhile fossil fuel giants are raking in record profits. We must end this rampant profiteering, and cut fossil fuels from our energy mix as soon as possible.

If you want to know what companies to boycott, there is a list here: boycott-israel.org/boycott.html Even if you can’t avoid them all, switching high/very high impact companies to low/medium impact ones instead is better than nothing. Don’t do nothing because you feel you can’t do everything.

Sheryl Weikal says Prosecute ICE@leftistlawyer.com · 2d agoMany things are complicated. There's nuance to almost everything. Pretty much everything in the legal system is complicated by design. But some things are not. Buying Israeli products like sodastreams. Vacationing in Dubai. Buying a new phone when you can afford a used one.
🧵Right-leaning newspapers are trying to blame Europe's raging wildfires on everything EXCEPT fossil fuels 1. The Wall Street Journal Frontpage story: "Greece fights wildfires as Europe crisis spreads" WSJ editorial: "How green policies fuel fires in Europe"
It is much simpler: We know what we emitted since we know how much fossil fuel has been burned. And that’s twice as much as has accumulated in the atmosphere. So nature hasn’t been a source but a sink: oceans and forests took up half. And that’s also observed fact. www.climate.gov/news-feature...
How do we know the build-up of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is caused by humans?
Fossil fuels are the only source of carbon dioxide large enough to raise atmospheric carbon dioxide amounts so high so quickly.

Bordeaux, France, has now recorded more days above 40°C in 2026 alone than during the entire 105-year period from 1920 (when observations began) to 2025. This is deeply shocking.
In fact, Shell’s profits are out today and they have more than doubled. This while climate change is fucking disastrous, Burnham is looking at letting more drilling take place in the North Sea, and we are paying extortionately for our planet being burned down. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 7d agoThe 6 largest oil companies will collectively rake in $45B in profits in the second quarter of 2026 — nearly double what they made in the first quarter. Meanwhile, Canada, France, and Spain are battling record-breaking wildfires spurred by the climate crisis. Big Oil profits while the world burns.
A study I co-authored in 2023 found ExxonMobil’s predictions of global heating over the following decades to have been mostly accurate, as skilful as independent academic and government models, and also very much at odds with its public statements on the matter. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Across the country, wildfires are raging. The Prime Minister needs to call a COBRA meeting and treat the climate crisis with the urgency this moment calls for.
On #EarthOvershootDay, Shell announces profits of near $10BILLION whilst Europe bakes in its 4th heatwave of the year, battles wildfires & droughts, and is on track for a record number of heat-related deaths directly due to the continent heating up much faster than the global average. 🧵

🧵UK media has been duped about net-zero (again) The playbook is identical: 1️⃣ Find a big scary number 2️⃣ Speed-dial non-specialist hacks 3️⃣ Do say “serious economic damage” 4️⃣ Don’t say “we pretended gas is free” 5️⃣ That's it! Many papers still fell for it 🤷
I will just say the UK does not need more Income Tax. The highest rate is 47%. Of the richest 1% only 22% pay Income Tax. It is 24% Capital Gains Tax, Landlords deducting Mortgage payment and Landlord Empires and other assets based in Tax Havens. Tax them.
Whilst the cost of living crisis continues to spiral, with food and fuel prices soaring, so do global oil and gas companies profits. Shell has today announced it's profits have more than doubled. This is obscene. www.reuters.com/business/ene...
