As volatile energy prices continue to spike, driven in part by geopolitical instability and gas market shocks, governments face an urgent challenge: how to bring down household energy bills immediately and protect their citizens from fossil-flation making everything more expensive.
The proposed agreement risks locking Europe into decades of fossil fuel dependency while exposing households to rising energy costs and geopolitical pressure. The warning comes amid escalating pressure from the Trump administration, which has threatened to restrict gas supplies to Europe unless the deal is agreed without amendments.
Trump administration will pay $1 billion to French energy giant TotalEnergies to abandon two U.S. offshore wind leases, the campaign group 350.org condemned the move as a reckless misuse of public funds that undermines clean energy progress and locks in future energy insecurity.
Soaring prices for fuel, fertilizer and food could be the last straw for millions of families in the global South already pushed into poverty by climate change. Governments must act now to stop oil and gas companies profiting from the war— by taxing their windfall profits to finance protections for ordinary people.
Perubahan cepat dan dalam skala besar saat ini tengah terjadi. Kecanduan dunia terhadap bahan bakar fosil semakin mengacaukan iklim dan keamanan global. Memicu perang dan bencana yang merusak lingkungan dengan dampak yang akan dirasakan oleh manusia selama ratusan bahkan ribuan tahun. Kita menghadapi kondisi darurat perang dan iklim.
Amerika Serikat, negara yang paling keras menyuarakan demokrasi, kedaulatan, dan hukum internasional adalah negara yang paling sering melanggarnya. Menelusuri sejarah peperangan ilegal Amerika Serikat bakal membuat kita semua sadar bahwa isi sesungguhnya benar-benar tak sesuai merk yang tertera di kemasan.
