pressure. Below are the key bits, but at the bottom is loads more info

There’s no way we’re reaching 1.5c and the Paris Agreement if
#BigPolluters are in the negotiating room. But the EU and #Trump are
blatantly blocking progress on #ConflictsOfInterest. Ask the #EU to
#DumpTrump and kick #PollutersOut!

The negotiations on conflict of interest began yesterday, and the EU
keeps insisting that everyone should to be involved in the climate talks
– even big polluters like the fossil fuel industry and its lobbyists,
despite their track record blocking progress.
The so-called ‘climate leader’ is siding with *Trump and his Big Oil &
Gas buddies*over people and the planet. The EU needs to #DumpTrump and
kick #PollutersOut.
