It’s quite something that #Burnham ‘s #Labour party seems to be less in favour of financially supporting the electorate in reducing their carbon emissions than #Sunak ‘s #Tories which scrapped VAT on retrofit measures such as #SolarPanels and #Heatpumps The evidence mounts by the day that this government is captured by the #FossilFuel lobby. If it scares you, boost and vote #Green

@ChrisMayLA6@mastodon.me.uk This is what happens in terms of #BigOil companies who use Investor State Dispute System (ISDS) to sue governments for environmental legislation that they deem as lost opportunities to make money. As a result of these secretive tribunals #fossilfuel companies have been paid over US$87 billion (£64 billion) by countries since 1998. Who’s to say thst something very similar is not happening with #AI #DataCentres ?

#FossilFuel burning ships carrying fossil fuels need to burn a lot more fossil fuels because a canal dried up by the burning of fossil fuels is in the way of those fossil fuels getting to where they will be burned. Okay then. "Liquefied natural gas shippers increasingly are opting to travel up to two weeks longer and almost 6,000 nautical miles further to bypass the #PanamaCanal as transporters of other fuel pay nearly $4 million to jump the long queue." #LNG

The #HighCourt has found planning authorities are required to consider local #climatechange effects when approving #fossilfuel projects. 3 of the 5 judges found in favour of a Hunter Valley residents' group, which halted the #MountPleasant mine expansion last year in the #NSW Court of Appeal. The High Court agreed & the case is expected to have national implications for the way fossil fuel project approvals take #globalemissions & local climate change impacts into account. #auspol
