Briefing: SDG 13 & the Carbon Capture Boom
"There is no excuse for not identifying the political will. It is right to ask why groups like Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil will not acknowledge that projects being built at their back door."
Climate Warriors and Flagships from Hell
"There should be encampments and occupations in and near Middlesborough and Hull. There should be. If the spirit of Earth First and actual environmentalism was with us, perhaps there would be."

The Unannounced Death of the Green New Deal: Part 2 – An Object of Projection
"Prevarication is the process whereby lies are told and truths are omitted. The vast majority of voices speaking for or about the Green New Deal have either a narrative or a funding stream to protect, sometimes it’s both."
Jeff Gibbs: «There will never be green technological energy»
"Slowly but surely the capitalists have turned the environmental movement to a narrow focus on climate change and the supposed solution of green energy because it’s a $50 trillion dollar profit center."

WATCH: Planet of the Humans [Full Film]
Jeff Gibbs, the writer/producer/director of Planet of the Humans, has dared to say what few would. Gibbs & Ozzie Zehner lay bare the green illusions of "clean energy" while exposing, once & for all, the corporate "environmentalism" that has led us to the precipice of ecological collapse. Years in the making, this film will blow your mind.
“Clean Energy” is a Dirty Joke
"How do fundamentally economic concepts like unburnable carbon, stranded assets, and carbon budgets work for the inevitable continuation of fossil fuel extraction and the wholesale destruction of forests? How much political will for carbon capture and storage is out there and how is it expressed? How are pundits, mouthpieces or messaging agents able to use “clean energy” to mask their support for energy that is in no way clean?"
WATCH: Biomass – an Ecological Facade | A Massive Threat to the World’s Forests
Keep in mind while watching this film that while Dogwood Alliance may publicly denounce Enviva's biomass (the burning of trees) practices, Dogwood Alliance has partnered with Coca-Cola along with other corporations and NGOs to create the Carbon Canopy Group - a coalition "that seeks to leverage markets for ecosystem services" and "offset" pollution via carbon credits.

Social Capitalists: Wall Street’s Progressive Partners
"The fact there is no substance to the empty promotions by new economy celebrities like Naomi Klein is perhaps what progressives find most enticing. Without any actual plan — other than advertising — there is nothing to debate. In that way, their imbecility is secure from attack, free to follow pipe dreams and pied pipers till the end of time."
