I agree with what you say. Also about the headline, it was the one that was suggested from the "Generate title" thingy - so I just changed it to what is on the actual article.

Just finished it and I really enjoyed their analysis. I'll definitely check out more videos of this channel.

Up until recently, I kinda thought something like what the IEA report on The Oil and Gas Industry in Net Zero Transitions said:

Carbon capture, utilisation and storage is an essential technology for achieving net zero emissions in certain sectors and circumstances, but it is not a way to retain the status quo.

Lately, I tend to believe that the latter part of this sentence is what's actually happening. That these topics of capture, removal and storage are promoted by Big Oil & Gas, to deflect the topic from the need of fossil fuels to stay in the ground, so that they keep doing business as usual.

Edit: Thought of adding a relevant article from last year.

Carbon capture: The oil lobby’s Trojan horse at COP28

In a way my initial reaction reading the title was very similar: we know this stuff already. Then I thought of taking a look at the article and realised there were several stuff mentioned I was not aware about, apart from this new memo I mean. I also liked the pictures from the archives and the links to the documents as reference to hat they say, so I thought it was totally worth sharing after all.

Apart from that for me revisiting a topics through the lens of another author/person sometimes helps me find actual answers or perhaps reframe the question: What can we do?

Relevant article that talks about Cop29 in relation to previous ones: What should we expect at COP29?

Last year at COP28 in Dubai, countries agreed to “transition away” from fossil fuels for the first time ever.

But the ‘UAE Consensus’ was less a consensus and more of a watered-down pledge, leaving many advocates disappointed as no promises were made to fully phase out oil, gas and coal.

This outcome was likely shaped by the presence of thousands of fossil fuel lobbyists at the event, which was itself hosted by a petrostate and led by the CEO of a state-owned oil company who openly dismissed the need for a fossil fuel phaseout.

This is why we won't ever fix it.

I think I see what you mean, I must admit I don't really agree with this statement.

I think we (meaning people) can actually fix this by applying pressure to governments to implement the necessary measures/taxes/etc to the polluting corporations all over the world. This pressure can have many forms - protest, boycott, etc. Also, it should be intersectional since climate justice without social justice doesn't really mean anything - it's just an empty vessel with greenwashing tendencies. At least the way I see things.

Unfortunately, these are just articles that claim stuff, they do not include any actual and/or current researches. This is why they use terms like "trusted source", or urge the reader to worry about something, instead of providing evidence and let the reader decide how to feel about these findings.

Also, they come from the mouthpieces that Zionist propaganda uses. Remember the debunked beheaded babies claims, or the weaponization of sexual violence claims, or the human shield claims - to name just a few that were covered by these media.

Still, thank you for taking the time.

Could you please share a link supporting your claim that doesn't come from a zionist propaganda machine?

This NYT article unfortunately fails to mention the thousands of oil lobbyists attending COP29.

COP29: What you need to know about the global climate summit - Amnesty International:

Like previous climate summits, COP29 will host many participants whose agendas are seriously at odds with climate justice. Thousands of fossil fuel lobbyists, along with the heads of oil giants like Shell and BP, are expected to be in attendance. These participants have used previous summits to advance their own interests, opposing essential efforts to phase out fossil fuels and pushing for false solutions like carbon offsetting. Amnesty International is calling for a robust conflict of interest policy to prevent fossil fuel lobbyists undermining the aims of global climate treaties.

Canada's mining tradition is closely related to colonialism.

Check out the Canadian encyclopedia, Mining :

Pre-contact Aboriginal use and trade of Canada’s rich mineral resources included copper, gold, silver and chert. European exploration and colonization of northern North America was partially motivated by the search for valuable minerals. In 1577–8, Martin Frobisher established a mining operation at Baffin Island (...)

Edit: Just found a super long list of Canadian Mining Assets (CMAs), from all over the world excluding Canada, by Country and Region. This list is from 2021 and 2022 by the Canadian government. They're everywhere like, scary stuff.

You're totally right, legality should not be a concern in cases like that.

What I liked in this article is that it gives examples of actions on several levels, and I think this is important because a tone of things need to be done to effectively fight fascism in societies.

The problem is not that they are not actively working on solving this Zionist war, the Israeli apartheid or its settler colonialism.

The problem is that they don't have a decent position on the topic, so they are trying to discard it all together.
