Greta Thunberg was arrested after joining hundreds of protesters who gathered at a five-star hotel in London on Tuesday morning to denounce a meeting branded “the Oscars of oil”. ... Addressing journalists before joining the protest, Thunberg said: “Behind these closed doors at the oil and money conference, spineless politicians are making deals and compromises with lobbyists from destructive industries, the fossil fuel industry. “People all over the world are suffering and dying from the consequences of the climate crisis caused by these industries who we allow to meet with our politicians and have privileged access to. “The elites of the oil and money conference, they have no intention of transition. Their plan is to continue this destructive search for profits. That is why we have to take direct action to stop this and to kick oil money out of politics. We have no other option but to put our bodies outside this conference and to physically disrupt [it].”

the thing i don't understand about the oil industry is how they weren't at the forefront of creating clean, sustainable energy. and before you go "well duh, of course they're against the concept, it cuts into their business model", consider for a moment that, logically, it should have been their business model from the start.
for example, no matter what your stance was on fossil fuels in the early 2000s, everyone seemed to agree that these resources were nonrenewable. it was in the name. limited, finite. that was the consensus we had, everyone knows this shit will eventually run out if we keep digging, no matter if you acknowledge that climate change exists or not. hell, we even had several projected models giving us a pretty good idea of when. so you would think, from a purely business perspective that it would've made sense for these oil companies to be like "huh, well maybe we should invest in cleaner, more sustainable technologies now so we don't run out in the future, AND we can control the clean energy too." it makes no financial sense to continue to drill holes in the ground while ignoring the very real reality that their entire business model will eventually, literally cease to exist if they don't do something about it.
again, this is just from a business/numbers point of view, not even taking into account the effects of climate change and the morality/ethics of extracting these resources from the earth. fossil fuels should have only ever been a stepping stone in the history of humanity's quest towards generating a theoretically limitless amount of energy that pays for itself, forever, and has a minimal-to-zero impact on the environment. i wouldn't even have necessarily minded having it controlled by corporations, because at least in the grand scheme of things our fucking planet wouldn't be on fire.

“Practically every environmental problem we have can be traced to our addiction to fossil fuels, primarily oil.”
Dennis Weaver
Oilman Sunak today (27/09/23) approved fossil fuel drilling in the North Sea. This policy is “better for our energy security", said the Prime Minister. Absolute nonsense!
Greenpeace remind us that 80% of oil produced in British waters is already exported. What is more, the Russian-Ukrainian war that is often used as an excuse for ensuring  “energy security” is a misleading argument as only 3% of the gas we use is from Russia.
There is another flaw with “we must drill for oil and gas to secure or own energy supplies” argument.  What Rishi Sunak and energy secretary Grant Shapps neglect to tell us is that any fossil fuels extracted from the North Sea BELONG TO THE LICENCE HOLDER not the UK government. They can sell that oil and gas wherever they like.
To make matters worse, Sunak is granting licenses to foreign multinationals and foreign state-owned fossil fuel companies. It is these companies that will benefit the most from the massive profits that the fossil fuel market has generated in recent years.
“Monster profits for energy giants reveal a self-destructive fossil fuel resurgence.”  (Guardian:09/02/23)
As if that wasn’t a big enough weakness in Sunak’s strategy then consider this
In July of this year (2023) the government passed the Energy (Oil and Gas) Profits Levy Bill, which, among other things introduced a new “super- deduction” style investment relief scheme. This quote from a government minister says it all.
“The new 80 per cent investment allowance will mean that, overall, businesses will get a 91p tax saving for every £1 they invest, providing them with a clear incentive to do so.” (Chartered Institute for Taxation: 15/07/230
In other words, the British taxpayer, you and I, will be giving foreign owned fossil fuel companies £91 for every £100 they invest in North Sea fossil fuel extraction.
If we were private investors we would expect and get a return on any profits the fossil fuel companies make proportionate to how much we had invested in the companies. What dividend does the British Taxpayer receive for such a massive investment in private companies? NONE!
 Britain, or rather, the Conservative Party, has ruled out a Sovereign Wealth Fund.
“The UK government doesn’t have a sovereign wealth fund and the Government currently has no plans to introduce one.” (House of Commons Library: UK Sovereign Wealth Fund: 09/12/16)
Our government quite literally gives taxpayer money to private companies, some of which are owned by the sovereign wealth funds of other countries, and expects nothing back in return. I am sure Rishi Sunak didn’t make his own estimated wealth of £730million by giving away money and not expecting a return on his investment so why does he expect the British taxpayer to act differently? Could it be he wants a job in the oil industry when he is kicked out of office?

No, Pride isn’t for cops too
“In Britain last year, activists from Lesbians and Gays Support the Migrants (LGSM) broke through the barriers at London’s Pride march to stage a die-in. Holding funeral bouquets and draped in pink veils, they held up the march for twenty-three minutes — one minute for each person that had died in police custody since 2020 — to protest Metropolitan Police officers joining the parade. One participant in the protest, Ink, explains, ‘I watched friends cheer on the police at London Pride, despite understanding their role in oppressing queer people. In the wake of Black Lives Matter, the presence of police at pride became especially unconscionable and we felt it was important to reclaim Pride as a space hostile to the presence of the state and its violence.’ ...
“Corporations and the state use diversity and inclusivity to wash themselves clean. At this year’s Pride in Washington DC, arms industry giant Lockheed Martin drove a sponsored float through the city, much to the disgust of socialists and queer activists. This year in London, big oil was the target of protests as activists picketed the annual LGBTQ awards sponsored by BP, Shell, BNP Paribas, HSBC, Santander, Amazon, and Nestlé. Days later, this July 1, five activists from Just Stop Oil were arrested after jumping in front of BP’s float and halting London’s Pride parade, reminding onlookers that there will be no pride on a dead planet ...
“In 2019, as preparations were underway for the fiftieth anniversary of the Stonewall riots, activists in New York City organized an opposing Queer Liberation March instead. The official parade ran for twelve hours because there were so many corporate floats, notes Paul Nocera from New York’s Reclaim Pride Coalition. He told Jacobin how activists had become disillusioned with Pride — and the way acceptable queerness was policed by letting in some people and shutting out others: ‘The barricades don’t just contain people, they set up an entertainment dynamic where the people on one side are the audience and the people on the inside are the entertainment. This is a march, we’re not the entertainment,’ he explains ...
“Over in England, Sheffield Radical Pride (SRP) took things a step further and organized the city’s only Pride march this year, scheduled for July 22 to coincide with Tramlines music festival when tens of thousands descended on the city. In 2018, the previous organizers declared the event was a march of ‘celebration, not protest.’ They banned political groups from taking part and demanded banners and placards be inspected for approval ... A month before the march, SRP announced cops and corporations were banned. ‘It’s exciting and it’s fun ... I’m glad that we have the opportunity to make Sheffield’s only Pride one that is genuinely radical and one that is free of corporations and cops,’ says Alex, one of the organizers.”
