👉 #CCS allows polluters to keep polluting at massive public cost.
A new analysis from @oilchange.bsky.social & @corporateeurope.org reveals how billions in EU subsidies are propping up fossil companies instead of tackling the climate crisis.

🌱 The EU’s 2040 climate targets lean heavily on carbon removals & other “magical” techs.
But what if the real solution is already under our feet?
A new @iatp.bsky.social blog shows that transforming Europe’s food systems could cut agricultural emissions significantly without risky technologies 👇

👉 The takeaway is clear:
We don’t need to wait for risky, uncertain technologies.
We don’t need to “offset” the problem.
We need to eliminate emissions at the source.

The study’s sector-by-sector deep dive shows something important:
🌱 Real Zero is technically feasible
💸 Real Zero can be affordable — even cheaper than fossil-heavy pathways
⚡ Real Zero relies on proven solutions, not speculative future tech 👇

A study by @climateanalytics.org shows that reaching #RealZero isn’t some far-off ideal—it’s actually achievable, cost-effective & urgently needed.
Instead of relying on offsetting emissions, the analysis focuses on what really matters: phasing out fossil fuels👇

🔴 A Climate Law for Polluters, Confirmed.
Europe’s new 2040 #ClimateTarget locks in loopholes, not real climate action.
Offsets, carbon removals, and review clauses won’t phase out fossil fuels — they just buy time for polluters.

Net Zero ≠ Real Climate Action
📢 Across Europe, campaigners are calling out the failures of the net-zero agenda — and demanding a Real Zero approach instead.
👉 Real Zero means cutting emissions at the source, ending fossil fuels, and investing in real climate solutions.
