As LA prepares to host FIFA World Cup games in weeks, Dodger Fans Against Fossil Fuels throws our support behind this campaign. Indeed, our expanded campaign had protestors at a FIFA stadium in Atlanta last week. All teams & sports must end fossil fuel sponsorships now. Stop the #sportswashing.
With tomorrow's highs in the 80s, the LA Marathon is letting runners bail at mile 18 and still get a finishing medal. But how will LA28 handle the Olympic marathon at the end of July in what will almost certainly be hotter weather?
Plus a 2028 state hearing, and the latest Hot Links headlines 🔥
X is a fascist propaganda website.
I'm out of words here
Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.
Favoriete bordje bij de Feminist March vandaag.
Hele goede opkomst en mijn indruk was meer mannen dan vorig jaar. #feministmarch

Als Barry Madlener aantreedt, zien zijn ambtenaren hoe de minister zich laat ompraten door de luchtvaartsector. Ze waarschuwen dat omwonenden van Schiphol zo niet goed worden beschermd tegen geluidsoverlast. Bewoners zullen nooit tevreden zijn, zegt de minister volgens ambtenaren. buff.ly/x8l1Zci
Will do!
Keen to contribute to a climate focused lecture with @fossilfreefootball.bsky.social!
Bizar: het kabinet laat zojuist weten wat de eenmansactie van Eelco Heinen bij box 3 gaat kosten:
€3,3 miljard (!) aan belastingkorting voor beleggers.
De VVD breekt binnen een week het coalitieakkoord open, D66 en CDA laten het gebeuren..
🚨 Football fans are taking on an oil giant.
In an open letter spearheaded by Fossil Free Football, a coalition of fans are speaking out against the deal between FIFA and the world's largest fossil fuel company Aramco. 🧵 1/6
The Guardian on our new study, which shows that global heating is significantly gathering speed. Our efforts to overcome our fossil fuel addiction should do the same.

Als we meer zonnepanelen en windmolens hadden gehad, hadden we nu amper iets gemerkt van de hoge energieprijzen

Blijkt dat de “groene gekkies” gewoon gelijk hadden.
Hoe langer we vasthouden aan olie en gas, hoe kwetsbaarder we zijn voor geopolitieke spanningen, chantage en prijsschokken.
Sneller naar zon, wind en opslag is geen idealisme. Het is strategische autonomie.

40% of US rail freight is also fossil fuels, mostly coal. Wind coal down and you free up a lot of rail resources! Some of which could be converted to fast electric passenger trains, which in countries with modern transport infrastructure are faster than air travel for most trips under 1000 miles.
Fantastic work as always from Fossil Free Football. The climate crisis needs to be to the centre of the debates around sport and governance, and work like this will make that happen.
🚨 We are 100 days from the start of the World Cup. Today, we’re launching an international supporters campaign calling on FIFA to drop its sponsorship deal with Aramco.
Don’t know what the answer is. But it seems important to say it

Progressieve partijen moeten er nu, nu nu nu op hameren dat we van het gas af moeten.
'Energiezekerheid' was altijd al PR fossiele industrie om te verhullen wat er echt speelt: fossiel = energieonzekerheid.
Energiezekerheid betekent overduidelijk vol op hernieuwbaar inzetten!
The top 1% in America now hoard $55.8 trillion — more than the G.D.P. of the United States and China combined.
Fan groups across clubs and countries are stepping forward. If you’re part of a supporters group, sign the statement and join us. Football belongs to fans. Let’s shape its future together. #DropAramcoFIFA form.typeform.com/to/xNFEjF9s
Football is already feeling the impacts of climate change. The next World Cup promises to be the hottest ever. Aramco is the world’s largest oil company and one of the biggest polluters globally. Many supporters believe the game should be part of the solution, not promote the problem.

Dus een illegale aanval veroordelen we niet, zolang de dader maar de VS of Israël is en het slachtoffer Iran?
We zijn echt actief bezig de internationale rechtsorde, of wat daar nog van over was, te slopen.
