It’s fucking wild, and frankly stupid, that environmentalists are catching more flack for saying “hey if we’re restructuring, maybe solve other problems too?” than fossil fuel cos are for straight up using a pandemic to deregulate and lock in dominance for the next several years
ALSO climate impacts are continuing to happen alongside #COVIDー19 whether that’s “appropriate” or politically convenient or not.
AND fossil fuel execs are asking for things that make absolutely no economic sense at all. None. Like are actually bad financial deals for banks or governments to make. Money losers, big time. Market manipulation that only benefits them and seriously fucks the rest of us
One more thing: these are just any ol years we’re headed into. This is our last critical fucking decade. The idea that it’s what...impolite? Undiplomatic? to push for maybe choosing life over the oil guys’ game of who gets to burn all the oil first and win the pot of gold is 🤯
