Football has a real fossil fuel problem – and it’s not sustainable
The ever-increasing expansion of football is not a good match for the environment.

Who’d have thought a fossil-fuel shill like Trump would be the one to spark a green revolution? | George Monbiot | The Guardian

Trump has done more to accelerate the energy transition than anyone else alive.
Fossil fuel companies bankrolled his presidential campaign to stop the transition in its tracks.
-- But when you back a volatile narcissist, unable to concentrate for more than a few minutes at a time, you shouldn’t expect to control the outcome.

Fossil fuels are ‘ripping away national security’ says UN exec
‘Sunlight doesn’t depend on vulnerable shipping straits,’ says UNFCCC’s Simon Stiell.

In 2024, Europe spent circa €375 billion on imports of fossil fuels. [consumptive: burn it, and only CO2 remains]
In stark contrast, investment in renewable power and grids remains comparatively low: Europe spent €100 billion on those in 2025. [delivering clean energy for decades, and avoiding CO2]

Strikes by both sides on so-called upstream gas production facilities in recent days are a significant escalation in the war in the Middle East, with potentially long-term consequences.

Time is running out. Our planet is hitting record temperatures, while coal, oil and gas giants rake in billions, and our energy bills skyrocket. But we finally have a chance to break the cycle. Over 80 countries are joining forces to phase out coal, oil, and gas. This is a historic opportunity to end the fossil fuel era and ensure a transition away from dirty fuels that protects communities, workers and the planet. But to win, we need more world leaders on board. We’re calling on governments …
