SLAPP and the fossil fuel lobby

Strategic lawsuits against public participation are increasingly popular for those with big pockets. Witness salmon farming in Scotland for example. It is vital that these are slapped down, but lobbying by commercial groups, the pusillanimity of governments and the influence of lawyers in their ranks are making it difficult.

The Guardian · ‘Legal bullying’: global protest rights on line in Dutch court case, say activistsBy Matthew Taylor

#Edeka hat sich zur Klimaneutralität bis 2045 verpflichtet, #Rewe und #Kaufland peilen 2050 an. Der Analyse zufolge entfällt die Hälfte der Klimaemissionen von Supermärkten auf #Fleisch- und #Milchprodukte, unter anderem wegen des hohen Ausstoßes von #Methan, #Lachgas und #Ammoniak.

Bislang machten die Konzerne nicht klar, wie sie diese "Klimatreiber" in ihren Sortimenten reduzieren wollen, moniert #Greenpeace. "Die großen Lebensmittelhändler sprechen viel über ihren Einsatz für #Klima und #Tiere, aber mit ihren riesigen Fleischfabriken tun sie das genaue Gegenteil", sagte die Landwirtschaftsexpertin der Organisation, Anne Hamester. Die Agrarwissenschaftlerin hat die Untersuchung verfasst.

International Survey Shows 81% Back Forcing #BigOil to Pay for #Climate Destruction

"People are no longer buying the lies. They see the fingerprints of #FossilFuel giants all over the #storms, #floods, #droughts, and #wildfires devastating their lives, and they want accountability," said the head of one green group.

"Large majorities of people around the world support both taxing #oil, #gas, and #coal companies for the #EnvironmentalDamage made worse by fossil fuels and using higher taxes on #polluters to support communities most impacted by the #ClimateCrisis, according to the results of an international survey released Thursday.

"The study, which was jointly commissioned by #Greenpeace International and #Oxfam International, surveyed roughly 1,200 people in each of these 13 countries: #Brazil, #Canada, #France, #Germany, #India, #Italy, #Kenya, #Mexico, #Philippines, #SouthAfrica, #Spain, #UnitedKingdom, and the #UnitedStates. The research was conducted by the data company Dynata, and field work was done between May 9-28, 2025. Greenpeace noted that, taken together, the countries represent close to 50% of the globe's population.

"The results of the survey showed a whopping 81% of those surveyed would support taxes fossil fuel companies to pay for damages wrought by 'fossil-fuel driven climate disasters.'

"These survey results send a clear message: people are no longer buying the lies. They see the fingerprints of fossil fuel giants all over the storms, floods, droughts, and wildfires devastating their lives, and they want accountability," said #MadsChristensen, the executive director of #GreenpeaceInternational.

" 'It's only fair that those who caused the crisis should pay for the damage, not those suffering from it,' he added.

You'd think it would take more than a bit of paint to scare these big bad bottom trawling ships so much they decide to hide their position by switching off their AIS systems. 🎨

AIS is a safety measure and turning it off increases the risk of all vessels at sea, by making potential collisions more likely. 🚢
