Vanuatu’s Climate Minister @rregenvanu.bsky.social says the fossil fuel industry is the greatest obstacle to tackling the climate crisis and implementing the International Court of Justice opinion that international law requires all states to protect the climate: www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Huge news. @freealaa.bsky.social pardoned. Free Alaa. Free them all. www.reuters.com/world/africa...

I’m not sure Apple’s new “sleep score” is all that smart. I went to bed at almost 1am after hours of late Zoom calls.

It's worth asking why every elite institution is issuing statements like this rather than pointing out the obvious fact that the institutional right commits and glorifies violence far more than the left. Is there a reason you feel you can't say that out loud? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/10/o...

52/🚨The Court then delivers a powerful statement: failure of a state to take appropriate action to regulate fossil fuel consumption, the granting of fossil fuel licences, fossil fuel subsidies may constitute an internationally wrongful act which is attributable to that state

🌍 BREAKING: Climate impunity ends today - by order of the world’s highest court. The International Court of Justice has spoken: ✅ States are legally obliged to act ✅ Inaction = human rights violation ✅ Polluters must be held accountable This is a legal revolution for our planet.

🚨BREAKING: World’s Highest Court Tells Countries to Halt Emissions Faster and Protect the Climate Press Release: oilchange.org/news/worlds-... #Climate #ClimateChange #ClimateJusticeAtTheICJ

In a landmark global victory, the International Court of Justice has ruled that governments must step up and protect our right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment. act.gp/3IB7w3 ...🧵

20/ The Court notes in particular the relevance of customary norms related to: 🔹duty to prevent significant harm to the environment 🔸duty to cooperate internationally! 👉 These norms are going to be critical to the responses of the Court to the questions before it.

A horrifying statement published today by the Editorial Committee of the Agence France-Presse (AFP) news agency. "Without immediate intervention, the last reporters in Gaza will die" Translation from French to English by @cnorristrent.bsky.social:

🧵Historic milestone coming up, following the ruling of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights: On July 23, the International Court of Justice – the world’s highest court – will deliver its much-anticipated ruling on States’ obligations to address #ClimateChange & uphold #HumanRights.

There is a lot to agree with in this Andrea Vance column. But she misdiagnoses the problem and engages in unjustifiable both-sides-ism. MMP is not the problem. The populist far right is the problem. www.thepress.co.nz/politics/360...

At the United Nations #JuneClimateTalks, leaders are expressing deep outrage about Israel’s brutal campaign of bombing, massacres, and starvation against Palestinians.

Great coverage of our 🆕report on funding the #JustTransition away from fossil fuels in the @FT today. Say it with us: “Public money is a non-negotiable part of the green transition." 💸 www.ft.com/content/8e5f...

“By injecting a staggering $869bn into fossil fuel financing in 2024 alone, the world’s largest banks fund the climate chaos... Governments must step in & take urgent action to hold financial institutions accountable for their role in the #climatecrisis” - @davidxvx.bsky.social‬

By injecting a staggering USD 869 bn into fossil fuel finance in 2024, the world’s largest banks have shown again: the market won't solve the #climate crisis. Governments must act to hold financial institutions accountable. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

📣 BREAKING: The 16th #BankingOnClimateChaos reveals that fossil fuel financing from the world’s top 65 banks has reached $7.9 TRILLION since 2016. ▶️ See how your bank is using your money at bankingonclimatechaos.org 🌍 #DefundClimateChaos #BOCC #ClimateCrisis

Local movements, Palestinian activists, and international social and climate justice groups gathered today at the United Nations #JuneClimateTalks to express deep outrage about Israel’s brutal campaign of bombing, massacres, and starvation against Palestinians.

🚨 NEW 🚨 Four rich Global North countries are responsible for nearly 70% of projected CO2 pollution from new oil and gas 2025 - 2035, equal to 3X the annual emissions of all the world’s coal power plants combined. oilchange.org/blogs/planet...

As Nnimmo Bassey powerfully argues, Ken Saro-Wiwa and the Ogoni Nine should not merely be pardoned. They should be completely and fully exonerated. Read more >>> www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-new...

On June 16, EU ministers discuss Europe’s energy security. More #LNG means locking us into climate chaos & insecurity. #TrumpGas, #PutinGas, or any gas = harm to health, planet & frontline communities. It’s time for a just transition—no to fossil fuel traps. #PhaseOutGas

🔊 BREAKING NEWS! In a historic moment, @mayorofgm.bsky.social and Massive Attack came together at a sold-out concert in Manchester to endorse the #FossilFuelTreaty on #WorldEnvironmentDay. 🎶🌍

In case anyone is wondering, “decarbonized oil and gas” does not exist, is a complete contradiction in terms, and a dangerous lie that Canadian government after Canadian government has tried to spin under the spell of industry lobbying. How disappointing. www.ft.com/content/17ce...

Big polluters damaging our communities should face legal consequences. The #SaulvsRWE case shows these dangerous companies are increasingly vulnerable to litigation – accountability for their pollution and climate harms is coming.

Today, the @ec.europa.eu released its roadmap to exit #RussianGas. But it's at risk of falling into another trap: #TrumpGas 🚫 More #TrumpGas means volatile energy bills, more climate disasters, more 💰 for fossil fuels. ✍️ Tell the #EU to break free from #TrumpGas act.oilchange.org/forms/europe...

Tony Blair is a unique kind of broken clock that quite possibly hasn't even been right once since 2001. Blair & his experts suggest not doing things that cut emissions like not burning fossil fuels and instead double down on things that mostly don't work like CCS.

It has been a bizarre experience to move from Aotearoa to Naarm during Australian election season. The far right are leafleting Brunswick hard, and all their scaremongering leaflets are … honestly just threatening us with a good time.

50 #climate activists have been camped up on the West Coast’s Denniston Plateau since Friday, protesting Aussie miner Bathurst Resources’ plans to mine 20 million tonnes of #coal, destroying unique landscape - and the climate @350nz.bsky.social @climateliberation.bsky.social #nzpol

Apparently it’s meant to be … bad … that Wellington Central’s MP likes one of the greatest tracks in rap history? Like it’s uh somehow apparently bad that she accurately described how many people in her constituency have experienced interactions with the police?

I've not been into the a lot of the NGO movement bashing on JSO, and think they've played an incredibly important part of getting us to where we are. But this statement is both shit comms and shit strategy. (1/🧵) www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I don’t normally share things about what I do in @greenpeace.org, because my roles over the last decade have been in governance, supporting our staff and volunteers to do their incredible work, not taking the limelight. But this is not a normal moment. 🧵

Standing Rock Grassroots leader Waniya Locke on the verdict in Energy Transfer's lawsuit against Greenpeace: "It's an attack on Indigenous communities, clean water, our climate, and everybody’s right to protest. " bit.ly/41GtFTN

Fossil fuel companies should be forced to pay the public trillions in damages for the costs of their planetary arson. Instead they are trying to shut down one of the most important and storied environmental groups in the world. It's shameless - and it's not over. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This is a corporate attempt to put an end to climate protest and *particularly* to Indigenous led climate protest. Massive 1A assault. Pretty shocking that our little outlet was one of maybe 3 or 4 that had a reporter there every day of the trial (one of the others was a fake newspaper 🙃)

🚨BREAKING🚨 The trial verdict is in. A jury in the Morton County courthouse found Greenpeace International and two Greenpeace entities in the United States liable for over US$ 660 million combined in Energy Transfer’s meritless SLAPP lawsuit. #WeWillNotBeSilenced

Israel has killed 400+ Palestinians in the deadliest 24 hrs in Gaza since 2023, violating its own ceasefire agreement. Netanyahu, his US allies, & the oil companies fueling this genocide have blood on their hands. The genocide in Palestine must end today. bit.ly/3FQKIuX

Greenpeace condemns the Israeli government's renewal of the attacks on Gaza and the end of the ceasefire. Full statement here: act.gp/3DCPzPZ A thread 🧵​⤵️​ #CeasefireNow

TotalEnergies’ Mozambique LNG is a climate and human rights nightmare. With this loan, the Trump administration is committing billions in taxpayer funds for this deadly fossil fuel project. The UK now has choice: support this foolish decision or show leadership. oilchange.org/news/exim-mo...

71 years ago today, on Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands, a nuclear bomb with the codename “Castle Bravo”, was exploded by the USA with an energy of 15 megatons. Life was never the same again and the fight for justice continues.

there will be more articles written next week about the threat of “cancel culture” than there will be about this

From the Rhine to the sea, I condemn Germany.

Big oil and its enablers regularly block and disrupt the #climate talks. Now, they're blocking the plastics treaty negotiations. https://www.climatechangenews.com/2024/11/27/global-plastics-pact-hangs-in-balance-as-petrostates-block-talks/

Remember when you hear talk of a breakthrough: the more grandiose a U.N. #climate negotiation’s outcome is, the worse it almost certainly is, and more awful horrors the host hopes you ignore.

A tiny sample of the wonderful people and their messages during yesterday's humming rally after the #PeoplesPlenary at #COP29. Stop fuelling genocide. Pay up. End fossil fuels. Pay up. Stop carbon markets. Pay up. Phase out. Pay up. #climate #climatejustice #payupforclimate

Today.
