The Iran war is a redistribution machine: Big oil profits have shot up to historic highs. Our research shows that 50% of fossil fuel profits go to the richest 1% in the U.S. The rich are the ultimate beneficiaries of the war windfalls. The bottom 50% claim a mere 1% of profits https://t.co/lh1XJVtEY4 #IranWar #FossilFuels #WealthInequality #IR #US

“Oil hasn't reached the profit rates of tech companies” is an absurd defense of staggering windfall profits in fossil fuels. It's like saying because we are not living under feudalism, there is no problem with inequality. https://t.co/rpcomoAAXA #WindfallProfits #FossilFuels #Inequality #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.

Nochmal die Fakten für Deppen wie @aus_pete et al: 1. Glasscherben können kein Feuer machen. 2. Weggeworfene Zigaretten sind Brandstiftung. 3. Der Klimawandel macht kein Feuer, aber durch die mit ihm verbundenen Dürreperioden steigt der Erfolg von Brandstiftungen dramatisch. 4. Feuer entstehen durch Brandstiftung oder Blitze am Rande von Gewittern (Letzteres bei uns sehr selten, in borealen Wäldern häufiger). Sonst gibt es außer Paulanergschichtln mit brennenden Vögeln und mehr keine bekannten Möglichkeiten, einen Waldbrand zu machen. Es braucht dafür 250 bis 300 Grad. Solange das Brennmaterial trocken genug ist, ist die Lufttemperatur schietegal. 5. Wenn das Feuer einmal da ist, hat die Windgeschwindigkeit einen großen und die Lufttemperatur einen geringeren Einfluss auf die Aggressivität des Feuers. #Umweltschutz #Waldbrand #Klimawandel
