Mexico. – “This is the world they are leaving us,” said climate activist Greta Thunberg, referring to the July 2 fire in an underwater pipeline of Petróleos Mexicanos in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, 150 meters from the Ku-Charly platform.

Meanwhile the people in power call themselves “climate leaders” as they open up new oilfields, pipelines and coal power plants – granting new oil licenses exploring future oil drilling sites.

In a message shared on his Twitter account, Thunberg criticized people in power who “call themselves ‘climate leaders,’ even as they open up new oil fields, pipelines and coal-fired power plants, giving new oil licenses to explore future oil drilling sites.”

According to a Pemex information card, at 05:15 hours there was a gas leak in the 12-inch submarine pipeline and the presence of fire in the sea, 150 meters from the KU-Charly satellite platform, located in the Campeche Probe and belonging to the Ku-Maloob-Zaap Production Asset, attached to the Production Sub-Directorate Northeast Marine Region of Pemex Exploration and Production.

PEMEX’s sea fire is also a wake-up call to the government that has turned its efforts toward oil, and has ceased to have the climate ambition it had before. It is essential that Mexico regains its leadership position. A spill of sun and wind is harmless. https://t.co/JQX49hQG9g
