Today in Labor History March 24, 1989: The Exxon Valdez oil tanker ran aground in Prince William Sound, Alaska, dumping 240,000 barrels of crude oil. It was the largest oil spill in U.S. history until the Deepwater Horizon spill, in 2010. A major cause for the tanker’s collision was an overworked and under-rested crew, which the National Transportation Safety Board determined was a widespread practice. Thousands of people who participated in the cleanup efforts developed liver, kidney, lung, nervous system, and blood disorders due to 2-butoxyethanol and other agents that were used. An estimated 250,000 sea birds; 2,800 sea otters; 300 harbor seals, 247 bald eagles; 22 orcas; and unknown numbers of fish were killed by the spill. A study by the National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA found that 90 tons of oil remained on beaches in Prince William Sound in 2001. The devastation to the local fisheries caused the bankruptcy of the Chugach Alaska Corporation, an Alaska Native Corporation.

Sehr gut beschreibt er dort nochmals die Fossil-Abhängigkeit in #Deutschland #Europa und den Grünen Ausweg

Natürlich fragt man sich, wie korrupt die Strukturen sind, die die Abhängigkeiten von Russland zugelassen haben.

Meine Antwort: Genauso korrupt wie die, die vorher und nachher die fossile Abhängigkeit von den #USA etablier(t)en: Mossadeq (auf den ein US-Vasall und Diktator folgte) wurde von #Exxon und #BP beseitigt.

“Die Hälfte all dieser Emissionen entfällt sogar nur auf 36 Unternehmen, zu denen größtenteils staatliche Unternehmen wie China Energy Investment, die National Iranian Oil Company, #Gazprom aus Russland und #Adnoc aus den Vereinigten Arabischen Emiraten gehören. Der größte CO₂-Verursacher unter ihnen ist der saudi-arabische Staatskonzern #Aramco. Zehn der 36 befinden sich in China. Die fünf größten CO₂-Verursacher, die im Besitz von Investoren sind, sind #Exxon Mobil, #Chevron, #Shell, #Total Energies und #BP. Sie sind insgesamt für etwa fünf Prozent der weltweiten fossilen CO₂-Emissionen verantwortlich.” #AchseDesBoesen #justStopOil #keepItInTheGround #DrillBabyDrill 🫤

Canada has about 10 billion tons of Oil, burned that's 45 billion tons of CO2.

At the lowest hoped for price in the future of - "several hundred dollars a ton" it would cost Canada two trillion dollars to capture that carbon.

No daycares, no jobs, no new energy, just transferring all the $$$$ from your house to Exxon's owners.

Build the new energy, end carbon fuels, directly.

BREAKING: Today, we and our partners took action against Exxon for polymer pollution & for misrepresenting plastics recycling.

SF Bay has some of the highest levels of in the world -- and that's why we're going after to stop plastic pollution at the source.

Big thanks to our coalition partners at Heal the Bay, Sierra Club, Surfrider, and Cotchett, Pitre & McCarthy, and to AG Bonta for filing a similar lawsuit.

Exxon Scientists Predicted Global Warming, Even as Company Cast Doubts, Study Finds

Starting in the 1970s, scientists working for the oil giant made remarkably accurate projections of just how much burning fossil fuels would warm the planet.
