World leaders must bar fossil fuel companies from shaping COP talks. Future COP hosts must also refuse to retain PR firms (like Edelman) tied to fossil fuel companies. #KickBigPollutersOut

Climate policy must be guided by science, evidence, and justice – not fossil fuel industry influence.

Let's be clear: any plausible scenario to meet global climate goals demands dramatic reductions in fossil fuel use, in this decade and beyond. A fast & fair fossil fuel phaseout is necessary. We can't continue to let vested fossil fuel interests threaten action towards a safer & healthier future.

Here, Delta Merner covers key places to watch for – and call out – obstructive industry tactics during the #COP30 negotiations. We must protect the integrity of the UN climate process and ensure that these negotiations deliver what science and justice demand. #KickBigPollutersOut

In this letter signed by 400+ scientists, academics, NGOs & climate leaders, @caadcoalition.bsky.social outlines the consequences of ongoing deception & delay tactics by the fossil fuel industry, and calls for policymakers to take immediate action on climate information integrity at #COP30 & beyond.

As the world runs out of time to limit the worst effects of climate change, it is disgraceful that the very industry that caused this crisis – intentionally spreading disinformation and delaying action for decades – is still being given a seat at the most important international climate talks.

As our colleague @kathymulvey.bsky.social points out, none of the 60+ countries that have submitted pledges have included targets to reduce oil & gas production or phase out fossil fuel subsidies. Fossil fuel industry obstruction is a key explanation for this glaring omission.

The Trump admin pressed for the IEA to include a scenario w/ rising oil & gas demand for decades. UCS’s Rachel Cleetus: “At 2.9C of warming under the Current Policies Scenario, it is not a world in which anyone can be safe or an economy can thrive”...Investors should treat CPS w/ "zero credibility."

UCS’s Rachel Cleetus says “The IEA’s latest report underscores the daunting challenge ahead for rapidly decarbonizing the world’s economy but also highlights the opportunity for tremendous wins for consumers’ pocketbooks, public health and addressing energy poverty that pathway provides.”
