False Climate Solutions: Don’t Believe the Hype, February 23

Join energy policy experts as they unmask the false climate solutions now being promoted by big energy corporations and their enablers.

The word is they’ve given up on climate change denial and are now moving to promote false solutions to protect their bottom line. These false solutions are a distraction intended to derail efforts to keep fossil fuels in the ground. Big Ag is trying to get in on the action too.

So they’re promoting things like elaborate pay-to-pollute schemes like cap-and-trade and carbon pricing, as well as unproven technology like carbon capture. “Renewable” biogas would prop up the unsustainable factory farm system without reducing methane emissions.

Learn how these schemes work, how they fall short of the urgent climate action we need, how thy disproportionately impact low income and environmental justice communities — and what we can do to counter this campaign.
