*[Enwl-eng] Crooked on climate?

[ENWL]

Dear friends, This morning, climate fraud Mathias Cormann started his duties 
as the new Secretary General to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation 
and Development (OECD), one of the most powerful organisations in shaping 
climate action around the world.As leader of the OECD, Cormann will be able 
to either squash global climate ambition, or supercharge it -- uniting the 
world in the face of this unprecedented challenge.Unfortunately, Cormann has 
a horrendous track record on climate, even calling the goal of becoming 
carbon neutral by 2050 “extremist”. But during his election campaign, he 
assured his critics that he's “absolutely committed to ambitious and 
effective action on climate change”. As he takes office, Cormann will be in 
the global spotlight. Let’s welcome him with messages holding him 
accountable and on his toes, by asking: Will you unite the OECD behind 
humanity’s historic fight to keep the global temperature rise below 1.5ºC 
and give our kids the future they deserve?Join the Twitter storm to let him 
know we’re watching!RetweetAvaaz's Tweet









                                Dear friends,
                                This morning, climate fraud Mathias Cormann 
started his duties as the new Secretary General to the Organisation for 
Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), one of the most powerful 
organisations in shaping climate action around the world.

                                As leader of the OECD, Cormann will be able 
to either squash global climate ambition, or supercharge it -- uniting the 
world in the face of this unprecedented challenge.

                                Unfortunately, Cormann has a horrendous 
track record on climate, even calling the goal of becoming carbon neutral by 
2050 “extremist”. But during his election campaign, he assured his critics 
that he's “absolutely committed to ambitious and effective action on climate 
change”.

                                As he takes office, Cormann will be in the 
global spotlight. Let’s welcome him with messages holding him accountable 
and on his toes, by asking: Will you unite the OECD behind humanity’s 
historic fight to keep the global temperature rise below 1.5ºC and give our 
kids the future they deserve?

                                Join the Twitter storm to let him know we’re 
watching!

                                Cormann’s first big test is already waiting 
for him: The powerful International Energy Agency just published its first 
ever 1.5ºC aligned energy analysis and announced there’s no need for new 
fossil fuel projects. It’s a big deal, but some OECD countries are already 
pushing back.

                                Will Cormann rally member states to support 
and encourage the IEA to align their future reports with the 1.5ºC limit 
instead? Will he pull his weight to ensure the agency from now on focuses 
their analysis on where we need to go and how to get there -- rather than 
emboldening the catastrophic status quo?

                                The path he chooses now could seal our 
planet’s fate. Send Cormann a message now!

@MathiasCormann! You can refer to @IEA and their chief @Fbirol too.

                                From raging wildfires to torrential flooding 
and long-term droughts, the climate crisis has arrived. But this could also 
be the year in which we finally rank up our immediate action and ambition to 
combat global warming, and start our transition to a cleaner, safer future 
for all.

                                With hope and determination,
