If tackling climate change means tackling the fossil fuel giants, where’s the will to do it?
The cat is out of the bag.
Professor Simon Lewis of University College London has told us that the way to tackle climate change is not to work with the giant fossil fuel corporations but to “do everything we can to defeat the fossil fuel industry”.
If the richest industrialised nations stood together against them, this would be a cinch.
But they are disunited, disorganised and dysfunctional. UK prime minister Rishi Sunak can’t even be bothered to attend the COP 27 summit in Egypt; he’s so weak on this.
Here’s Damo:
It's #COP27 next month & Tory leader Rishi Sunak has already said he isn't going, such is the importance he places on climate change, but where governments like ours insist on working with fossil fuel companies to no avail, is it time to fight them to save the planet? #DamoRants pic.twitter.com/B74TJhrwfQ

there more you can do to help with the climate crisis, hydrogen fuel for planes, lorries and ships is one way but that’s only part of the problem, animal agriculture is way more damaging, total transport is 13% animal agriculture 18% one without the other won’t help at all!
