    The initiative secured $25 million each from six oil companies: BP Plc, Eni SpA, Equinor ASA, Occidental Petroleum Corp., Shell Plc and TotalEnergies SE. Some countries also ponied up, with the United Arab Emirates that is hosting COP28 providing $100 million; the US, $2 million; Germany, $1.5 million; and Norway, $1 million.

    No mention of #Adnoc? Isn’t there a bit of a scandal with Sultan Al Jabar being part of COP28 while being the CEO of Adnoc?

    BTW, indeed that list of oil companies seems to be a lesser of evils AFAICT, apart perhaps from Shell who Greenpeace really picks on for some reason (maybe the spills?)

    The greatest of evils should of course be boycotted. There is no reason you have to buy fuel from:

    • Chevron (an ALEC member who was caught financing the cloakroom project to conceal meetings between US republicans and giant corps)
    • Exxon/Mobil who discovered climate change and concealed it (#ExxonKnew)

    The best action is to stop driving a personal car. But if you don’t think you can (yes you can; #fuckCars), the least you can do is boycott #Chevron and #ExxonMobile.
