This is a no agenda less moderated variation of !climate@slrpnk.net. Moderation power is not abused and mods do not suppress ideas in order to control the narrative.

Obvious spam, uncivil posts and misinfo are not immune to intervention, but on-topic civil posts are certain to not be subject to censorship (unlike the excessive interventalism we see in the other climate community).

#Chevron (an ALEC member), #Delta Airlines, and #ExxonMobil are obvious and expected. But ~58% of ~300 should yield a bigger boycott list than just those.

If someone could please unjail the PDF of this research and post it somewhere, it’d be much appreciated. The linked article leads to:

https://influencemap.org/briefing/The-State-of-Net-Zero-Greenwash-24402

which leads to:

https://www.un.org/en/climatechange/high-level-expert-group

but the UN site is access restricted, apparently blocking Tor. And worse, the UN is also blocking archive.org!

^ that’s a 403 error.

This is very interesting information. So rude of the UN, especially while they can't barely be bothered to even think about AI. Also, sad that people are trying to separate capitalism and the climate crisis when they're so intrinsically related. Greenwashing is such a pain in the ass.
