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?

#StopUsingFossilFuel if you can. Use less if you can. I want my grandchildren to live in an environment that is not inhospitable and function in an economy that is not distorted by this commodity.

Donald Trump’s illegal, oil-driven invasion of Venezuela is an attack on international law, and a shocking reminder of what can happen in a world still addicted to fossil fuels.⁣

Trump's "Let's invest in the Venezuelan oil sector" is his new "let's bring back coal" from the campaign trail.

We are in the process of replacing every oil guzzling vehicle with an electric car. In Norway 32 percent of cars were already electric in 2024. Even in China, 11 percent of their cars have already been converted.

When this conversion is complete, the use of oil will have declined by 70 percent, and oil prices will collapse.

No investors will invest in Trump's fantasy future.
