Fossil Fuels
The burning of oil, coal and natural gas is causing climate chaos. What's more, extraction of these fossil fuels and, increasingly, the use of geothermal and biomass energy, is also destroying livelihoods and forests. Energy corporations systematically call on States to violently suppress community resistance against this destruction. Fossil fuels in particular have left a trail of destruction and violent oppression, while a small number of companies has pocketed astronomical profits.
Perusahaan minyak dan gas multinasional Shell mengklaim bahwa sangat mungkin untuk mendorong kebijakan ‘netral karbon’, toh pengurangan emisi pun cukup dilakukan dengan menanam pohon atau berinvestasi di kawasan hutan di belahan dunia lainnya. Akan tetapi pohon-pohon tersebut diharapkan tetap berdiri tegak untuk selamanya , dan sialnya, tepat di sini, letak permasalahnnya.
