Like #Tobacco companies, #plastics firms have been lying to the public about their products.

In plastics case it has been the viability of #recycling that has been the subject of deceit by major #corporations.

Given that plastics are related to #fossilfuels, this may come as little surprise given the mendacity & #politics of distraction conducted in the #energy sector.

Its now pretty clear that we've had the knowledge to address our #climatecrisis but its been hidden!

mmm… “There is overwhelming evidence the oil and gas industry has been misleading the public and regulators around the climate risks of their product for 70 years. Trusting them to be part of the solutions is foolhardy. We’ve now moved into an era of accountability.”

So how do we kick #fossilfuels companies out of influence in government and hold them accountable, especially in #Petrostates like #Australia ?

Let alone access to & lobbying in UNFCCC climate conferences.?

Prominent climate scientist, Dr Friederike Otto, Imperial College London, has a simple message for #Cop28.

“Climate change is already destroying lives, livelihoods, and ecosystems around the world. Until we radically cut carbon emissions, extreme weather events will become more frequent and intense. That means there is a human rights imperative to phasing out fossil fuels.

“Despite their carefully crafted, green-washed talking points, fossil fuel companies will not save the world...." Read more...

I didn’t realise that Matilda was #australia’s answer to Greta but I do now. All these new laws to stifle protest that the state governments have introduced show the power of the fine hand of the fossil fuel lobby.

Why Australia’s answer to Greta Thunberg is facing years behind bars

Maybe it is time we shifted our focus from fossil fuel companies to the reality that our political leadership (globally) has let fossil fuel companies drive the the short term decisi(ns we get - rather than the those needed for a healthy environment in which our world and all its inhabitants can flourish?

If our politicians had the strength of character to resist the temptations (including but not limited to $) offered by the #FF sector, and make decisions based on the abundance of evidence available to them, the fossil fuel sector would be nothing like the problem they are today.
