"The court ordered TotalEnergies to remove statements that said it placed sustainable development at the heart of its strategy and that it “contributed to the wellbeing of populations” in line with the UN’s sustainable development goals."

The tas de merde in question:

TotalEnergies website:
In affirming its ambition to be a major player in the energy transition and committing to a carbon-neutral approach, together with society, TotalEnergies has dedicated itself to profoundly transforming its production and sales while continuing to meet the energy needs of a
growing population.

TotalEnergies has placed sustainable development in all its dimensions at the heart of its strategy, projects and operations, in order to contribute to the well-being of the populations. TotalEnergies has structured its sustainable development approach for conducting its activities so as to contribute to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), to which TotalEnergies committed its support in 2016.

Merci beaucoup to the French court for smacking down the greenwashing merde of TotalEnergies, the 7th biggest corporate fossil fuel polluter who just announced plans to expand gas production.

It's the first time France's Greenwashing law has been used against a fossil fuel company.

Big Oil CEOs calculating how to keep claiming that fossil fuel is affordable while they are buying politicians, blocking competition, raising energy prices, getting bailouts and trillions in subsidies, corrupting the news, burying science, and hiding the cost of their pollution:

Trump is hoping you won't notice that blocking wind and solar energy for his big oil donors is not only raising your energy prices, it's also increasing your disaster costs.

Market manipulation and political corruption FTW!

The Trump administration cut a NOAA program that had tracked weather events that caused at least $1 billion in damage. A nonprofit organization has redeveloped the database.

The banned words include “tax breaks" "tax credits" and "subsidies."

Good to know the Energy Department is so hyper-focused on eliminating every single obstacle standing in the way of... [checks notes] increasing our energy prices. ✅

Energy Dept. adds ‘climate change’ and ‘emissions’ to banned words list

It is the latest in a series of Trump administration efforts to dispute, silence or downplay climate change.

There is hundreds of times more methane frozen in the sea floor than the amount (already cooking us) in the atmosphere.

Except, due to fossil fuel pollution spiking Earth's temperature, it might not be so frozen anymore, "raising concerns of a feedback loop that could accelerate global warming."

The Trump administration’s attacks on national parks continue

This time, they’ve removed both physical signs and website mentions describing how climate change is damaging the parks

Because if you remove the info, famously, the problem goes away

www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

National parks remove signs about climate, slavery and Japanese detention

The removals come after President Donald Trump issued an executive order in March seeking to remove “improper partisan ideology” from federal institutions.

His time in the sauna was wacky, honest, and hilarious. In other words, it was just like a Moses Storms standup set, but with a little more sweat, and a lot more robe.
