Interesting info from Factsmtr's substack.

Approximate royalties collected by:

▪️Norway = ~$87/barrel
▪️Alaska = ~$38/barrel
▪️Alberta = ~$4/barrel (by policy choice)

‪@factsmtr.bsky.social‬ comments:

"The Alberta system is delivering exactly what it was designed to deliver: lower public returns, higher private retention, and socialized risk."

🔥The Conversation's article on 🛢️ propaganda is a *must read*.

The reason for the stalls to #ClimateAction worldwide:

The 'Climate Change Counter Movement'. The prop machine is backed by a "global network of foundations, think tanks and lobbyists". Strategy and tactics in the works for 50+ years.

🔥Included is a just-published study in ScienceDirect which maps out "how this movement has used its influence to delay climate action in Canada".

They've moved from climate denial to new strategy and tactics -- since hot Summers, wildfires, floods and hurricanes are common and in our faces.

Their new strategy: Exploite legitimate debates "sow confusion, cause political deadlock and suggest policies that don’t threaten their profits."

New narratives are particularly widespread in 🇨🇦 Canada:

🚨 "fossil fuel solutionism"
🚨 whataboutism
🚨 "appeals to well-being"
