📢 Our democracy no longer represents the people. Here's how we fix it 🕯️ Harvard Professor Lawrence Lessig


Agelbert NOTE: The above video was made 6 years ago. There has been NO reduction in the heinous Banana Republic level of INEQUALITY that we-the-people are forced to endure. The following article makes clear that the elite fascist polluters, not just in the USA, but worldwide, are hell-bent to continue corrupting governments for profit over planet at our expense.

Leaked docs reveal 🦖 fossil fuel-soaked nations lobbying to 😈 sabotage climate action

“They are using every opportunity to protect their corporate interests and continue with business as usual while the planet burns.”

SNIPPETS:

Just ahead of a key United Nations climate summit, a major leak of documents reveals that some fossil fuel-producing nations are encouraging authors of an upcoming U.N. report to omit an assessment that the world must transition away from oil, gas, and coal to tackle the planetary emergency.

“This is an insight into how a small group of coal, oil, and meat producing countries continue to put the profits of a few polluting industries before science and our planet’s future,” Greenpeace International executive director Jennifer Morgan said in a statement Thursday.

“Rather than phasing out fossil fuels and unsustainable meat production,” she said, “they are using every opportunity to protect their corporate interests and continue with business as usual while the planet burns.”

The comments in question, including from Brazil, Saudi Arabia, and Australia as well as the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), were in response to a draft report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) Working Group 3. ...  ...

The documents show that a small group of nations opposed to ambition action is instead pushing carbon capture and storage (CCS) and carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) technologies—both of which critics say are dangerous false solutions pushed by industries looking for ways to continue their profit-making. From Unearthed:
Quote
Australia; Saudi Arabia; Iran, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC); and Japan all make variations of this argument, despite the fact that, according to the Global CCS Institute, there is currently only one power station in operation in the world that successfully captures some of its carbon emissions.
