 Hello, my name is Esteban. I come from Argentina and I'm making this video to support the campaign against the EU taxonomy to incorporate gas at nuclear as green investments, especially in the case of gas. What we're seeing is an expansion of the industry all over the world that includes a growing amount of fracking that is happening mainly outside of Europe, for example in the country where I come from in Argentina. I come from the front lines of fighting fracking in vacamorta, one of the world's largest shale gas and oil basins, and the advancing fracking industry is destroying livelihoods, devastating communities, displacing indigenous people, violating human rights, persecuting activists, of which my example is just one of them. People are being murdered for defending their land in many countries such as in Colombia where our comrades, one is assassinated every other day. Indigenous people in Texas and all over the North America and South America are suffering the expansion of fracking, which is being done by many global North and especially European companies that are outsourcing the emissions of Europe to the rest of the world, where we are paying the price of the advancing gas industry so that Europe can have LNG that is coming here to replace the Russian gas. This is a declaration of war on nature on the planet. Gas, the gas industry and fracking specifically is a leading cause of methane emissions. It has been shown by science that fracking is responsible for more than 50% of all increased methane emissions globally coming from the fossil fuel industry over the last decade or more than one third of the total increase when you take into account all sources including biological. So it's a death blow for the planet at a time when the US and the EU are championing the global methane pledge, which they announced at COP, which at the same time was being sponsored by the largest emitter of methane of the United Kingdom National Grid, a company that is also fracking and doing fracked gas pipelines in the US, such as in Brooklyn. So this hypocrisy continues. The Green Party is lying. They are betraying all of their climate commitments in the face of everyone and we cannot allow gas to become a green investment because nothing could be farther from the truth. Gas is as bad as coal in its carbon footprint and when you take it to account fracked gas, it's actually 40 to 60% higher carbon footprint than coal. So this is actually the worst fossil fuel of all and they're selling it as a clean transitional energy, which is the fraud of the century. So we need to come together and to stop this.
