ClimaTax - Just Tax Oil

Politicians have their heads buried in sand.
Voluntarily.

Exactly.

Dear US of America,
If this war does not stop immediately, we all will soon have a major global economic crisis.

Please stop the madness already.
Thank you,
The Rest of the World

Oil price volatility

How nice it would be if we had more cheap, reliable & predicable renewable electricity

...instead of being exposed to the #oil price #VOLATILITY caused by the imbeciles

The risk of a hothouse Earth trajectory Earth’s climate is now departing from the stable conditions that supported human civilization for millennia. Crossing critical temperature thresholds …

While we all should be working, together, to avoid hothouse earth, we are forced to watch, from the safety of our fences, the shitshow of the absolute imbeciles competing for the crown of madness.

Jesus Christ, what has become of us.

Climatological spring starts with 101F in Texas and similar Temperatures are expected for the whole of next week
This would make 2 weeks with dozens of stations in 3 States rising into the 100s between winter and early spring

Global LNG Outlook 2026-2035: Stranded on the Beach Increasing Supply, Declining Demand: Analysis of $394B in LNG capital at risk as renewables prove economically superior. 48% of new capacity projected idle by 2030.

The LNG industry is building their castles on sand -

who is going to pay for the stranded assets of LNG terminals that will never return s profit?

Here we go again

Nigeria and Kenya lead Africa’s push for electric vans assembled from Chinese EV kits E-mobility companies in Africa are beginning local assembly of electric vans and taxis using Chinese-made kits and innovative financing to spread use of electric public transport across the continent.

In Africa, EVs are assembled from Chinese components, financed through schemes that were once called microfinance.
Fuel cost for Ev is 20% of petrol cost.

Oil income will collapse rapidly by 2030.

China has planted so many trees around the Taklamakan Desert that it's turned this 'biological void' into a carbon sink Huge-scale ecological engineering around the edges of one of the world's largest and driest deserts has turned it into a carbon sink that absorbs more CO2 than it emits, research suggests.

It can be done.

Portugal says efforts to balance budget, cut debt constrained by storm damage Portugal will do all it can to keep the budget balanced and reduce public debt, but its efforts are likely to be constrained by the economic impact of devastating storms, Finance Minister Joaquim Mira...

Only 4 billion

3 recent little storms fired up by climate change caused €4.74 bl of damage in Portugal alone.

And it doesn't even make the news anymore, because that is apparently now normal.

🆕 Several Earth system components may be closer to destabilisation than previously thought. Crossing key temperature thresholds could trigger feedback loops, pushing the planet toward a “Hothouse Earth” trajectory.

Transportation: The First Sector to Flip - EV Curve Futurist EVs, trucks, and fleets are electrifying faster than expected. Used EVs, falling costs, and battery advances are collapsing ICE economics.

The shift to EVs is not linear - it is disruptive now that up-front cost (ie the price of the car) is lower than fossil cars

Only a fool will be buying a gaspline/fiesel vehicule by 2030

Excellent data-driven analysis:

No need to be disappointed. They will be left behind by the ones that do develop EVs, sales of which will be near 100% in 2030.
Horsecarts can't beat trucks.

In the absence of real energy policies, the markets are the strongest drivers of the energy transition.

Early adapters- e.g. Uruguay, Denmark, China - gain competitive advantage from lower energy cost, energy independence and freedom from oil price volatility.

Climate Tax Why a global climate tax is good for everything

MOre effective would be to tax all GHGs:

Polluters broke it, we're paying for it. Make Polluters Pay Big Oil is fueling the climate crisis and leaving us to pay the price - Sign the Polluters Pay Pact.

We would go further and TAX EVERY #POLLUTION and then redistribute the revenues per capita and to prop up cleaner alternatives.
In the absence of that, we support making polluters pay

‘A silent majority’: MPs underestimate support for green policies, study reveals Exclusive: From solar subsidies to meat taxes, minority rightwing voices appear to drown out the consensus

When has the majority become the minority?

The majority is sane, but somehow the very loud minority has managed to rule & ruin all of us

Correct, currently it is only billions (per year) - but more than the US or SA exporys in oil/gas.
