⚠️ Key fossil fuel facts from the report Between 2010 and 2023 @Shell distributed 97% of their profits to shareholders, @TotalEnergies 86%, and others like @eni and @bp_plc provided payouts that exceeded their profits. 📰climatechangenews.com/2025/0…

Big polluters funnel 75% of profits to shareholders, not clean energy

Research shows that Europe's big polluters have handed shareholders, not clean energy, most of their profits – now they want public handouts

The same companies were lobbying tirelessly for billion-Euro subsidies to maintain their competitiveness and as contribution to their green transition. The report makes it clear: the problem is not a lack of money, but their prioritisation of shareholder payouts over investment.

Trump-Gas🇺🇸 Putin-Gas🇷🇺 or questionable Qatari-Gas? 🇶🇦 That’s mainly the choice Europe has when importing liquefied gas (LNG). 🤡🤡 🔥🔥 Check out our new briefing on LNG showing how this dirty fossil fuel is not a solution for Europe! friendsoftheearth.eu/publica…

LNG is anything but a safer and cleaner alternative to traditional fossil fuels like coal and Europe's worrying dependency.

Fossil fuel companies are the driving force behind the climate crisis. And yet, there are 1,770 fossil fuel lobbyists attending #COP29 in Baku. Would we allow tobacco lobbyists to flood an anti-cancer conference? No.

#COP29 is supposed to tackle the climate crisis, yet fossil fuel companies are striking deals in Baku to keep burning fossil fuels. EU govs are even bringing in lobbyists from these companies on their official national delegations! fossilfreepolitics.org/news/… #FossilFreePolitics

“As a result of the flood of fossil fuel lobbyists they brought into #COP29, EU governments are using the talks in Baku to strike gas deals. How come they are more focused on helping the oil and gas industry than on keeping fossil fuels in the ground?" fossilfreepolitics.org/news/…

#COP29. I lobbisti non finiscono mai. Quelli dei governi 🇪🇺 sono 113.

EU governments have brought at least 113 fossil fuel lobbyists to #COP29, including many gas companies. What are they there to do? Sign gas deals. See the new research from @FossilFreeEU based on analysis from #KickBigPollutersOut fossilfreepolitics.org/news/…
