[1]A map shows a temperature of 81 degrees Celsius in Iran, from August
16, 2023.

The heat index just hit 81°C in southern Iran. It feels like half the
world is on fire every week.

Fossil fuel corporations are behind these climate catastrophes. Yet giants
like Shell and BP are getting ready to set the agenda at upcoming UN
climate talks.

It's the fox guarding the henhouse...and it's outrageous! Tell the UN's
climate chief to ban fossil fuel lobbyists from the talks:

John,

The 7 hottest days in the last 100,000 years all happened in one week this
July.

Antarctica is suffering from heatwave temperatures 40°C above average – in
the middle of its winter. 

It's too hot. And we all know that fossil fuels are to blame, yet reckless
companies like Shell and BP are planning to send an army of lobbyists to
hijack UN climate talks in November. They’ll stop at nothing to block
meaningful climate action and protect their billion dollar profits.

But it's not bought-and-paid-for governments in charge of these talks.
It's the UN. The UN head of climate, Simon Stiell, is from Grenada, a
small Caribbean island whose people know first hand the threat posed by
rising seas and more violent storms. Let's show Stiell support for
cleaning up these talks!

[ [link removed] ]UN: Ban fossil fuel corporations from attending the climate talks in
Dubai!

The UN Secretary General has said the era of global warming has ended and
the “era of global boiling has arrived”.

The historic Paris Climate Agreement and countries’ progress on reducing
emissions will be reviewed at these upcoming UN climate talks. We know
world leaders have not done enough but the talks are an opportunity to
course correct and speed up the transition away from coal, oil and gas.

But that won’t happen if fossil fuel corporations are at the talks holding
secret lobbying meetings with politicians and dictating the outcome. The
UN has the power to ban these planet-wrecking corporations, we just need
to show it that there’s enough public support.
