#ClimateDiary ‘Homes may have to be abandoned’: how climate crisis has reshaped Britain’s flood risk
This is really worth reading - captures local people’s experiences of #Flooding, clearly centres #FossilFuel burning as a core cause of increases, and also introduced me to a new, useful term that i have to log here: #ClimateNegligence

Again and again, I see the notion that humanity is committing "collective suicide" because we are not acting on #ClimateChange and other forms environmental destruction.
I do not accept this thesis. This is not suicide, it is murder - perpetrated by the oligarchs of this world and others who want the #FossilFuel economy going for their own profit.
And they have invested _massive_ amounts of money into propaganda to keep this system running. Not just by funding climate change denial - but also by promoting the concept of the individual "carbon footprint". Essentially, they have socialized the risks and privatized the profits, tricking us into believing that _we_ are to blame for not doing enough as individual persons, rather than _them_ for creating and perpetrating the system.
This is part of the "personal responsibility" ideology pushed by those who already own most of the world, but still want more. If _we_ as individuals share in the blame for _their_ decisions, even though _they_ gain all the benefits from them and we do not, then that means we would have to fight _ourselves_ to save the world - rather than the true villains of this story.
So let's put the accountability where it belongs, okay?

In 2025, overlooked climate challenges included the warming effects of reduced pollution, stalled progress in green hydrogen and rising financing costs for renewables. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/12/30/world/2025-bad-climate-news-you-missed/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #climatechange #2025 #carbonemissions #fossilfuel #coal #renewables #greenhydrogen
Neue Chefin soll BP zurück auf Öl-und-Gas-Kurs bringen
Nach gut zwei Jahren im Amt hat #BP-Chef Murray Auchincloss überraschend das Handtuch geworfen. Neue Vorstandschefin des britischen #Öl- und #Gaskonzern's werde ab April Meg O’Neill, teilte BP heute mit. Die bisherige Leiterin des australischen Konkurrenten #WoodsideEnergy solle den Konzern nach seinem Ausflug in erneuerbare Energien wieder auf das #Kerngeschäft mit #Öl und #Gas ausrichten und die #Gewinne steigern.
O’Neill ist die erste Frau an der Spitze eines der fünf weltgrößten #Ölkonzerne und die erste Vorstandsvorsitzende in der mehr als hundertjährigen Geschichte von BP, die von außerhalb des Unternehmens kommt.
Die Aktie und die Erträge des britischen Konzerns hinken seit Jahren denen von Konkurrenten wie #ExxonMobil und #Shell hinterher.
Die 55-jährige US-Amerikanerin O’Neill steht für das klassische Öl-und-Gas-Geschäft. Sie leitete Woodside seit 2021 und war zuvor 23 Jahre bei ExxonMobil tätig. Unter ihrer Führung fusionierte Woodside mit der Erdölsparte der #BHP Group und schuf damit einen der zehn größten unabhängigen Öl- und #Gasproduzenten der Welt.
Auchincloss hatte den Chefposten erst 2024 von Bernard Looney übernommen. Dieser war entlassen worden, weil er über persönliche Beziehungen zu Kolleginnen gelogen hatte. Unter Looney hatte BP einen letztlich erfolglosen Vorstoß in #erneuerbareEnergien unternommen. Bis zum Amtsantritt von O’Neill wird die Vizepräsidentin Carol Howle den Konzern kommissarisch leiten.

It’s a very sad day as a good friend and absolutely top bloke (who is in his 70s) has been sentenced to 26 months behind bars (for which he must serve 40%) and costs of £4380 for peacefully protesting to end new #fossilfuel projects.
He was denied all legal defences during the trial, including the statutory defence of ‘reasonable excuse’, as well as the defences of necessity, Articles 10 and 11 of the European Convention on #HumanRights, and implied consent.
The prosecution refused to agree to any facts on the #ClimateCrisis to be included in evidence.
He will also now lose his long held position as a Green councillor.
We’ve known for a long time that the world is fucked but this hurts.
So @EUCommission president #VonDerLeyen has caved into pressure from the German #CDU #CSU government and car industry: She proposed yesterday to axe her own #GreenDeal flagship that was supposed to end the sales of combustion engine cars by 2035.
Her unconvincing blah blah press release blathers of #innovation, #CleanMobility and #competitiveness in order to hide what it really is: a subsidy for #FossilFuel billionaires paid for with the #health of our children.
