In the face of an undeniably changing climate, the fossil fuel industry and other high-emissions industries, as well as the banks, financiers and other actors who prop them up, have had to invent new tactics. They have shifted from ignoring climate change and its impacts, to now presenting themselves as the saviours, claiming to provide the world with magical fixes to a crisis they have caused. Net zero, carbon markets, carbon offsets and removal, nature based solutions, geoengineering – all of these are false solutions that allow polluters to continue polluting, doing everything but real emissions cuts.
The need of the hour is real solutions to the climate crisis – from accelerating the transition to a just, renewable energy system, to supporting Food Sovereignty and Community Forest Management, and putting binding rules on big business to reign back the power of transnational corporations.
