William Nordhaus is the father of the fossil-fuel propaganda that "climate change won't cost that much, but net zero will be too expensive." Here's how Nordhaus lowballs climate damages in his economic models (screenshot from The Language of Climate Politics): 1/3

Vigil 218 6.2.26 #WestYorkshirePensionFund. Time 2 #divest fr #fossilfuels. 'Investors should also speed up the move away from fossil fuels as a fiduciary duty to avoid large future losses', Mark Campanale @carbontracker.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/.../flawed-e.... @bradfordcouncil.bsky.social

BREAKING 🚨: Scottish First Minister urged to come off the fence and urge the UK Government to say NO to the Rosebank oil field.

More than £10.5bn of UK pension savings are invested in thermal coal - the world’s dirtiest fossil fuel. That’s bad for pension savers, the economy, and the climate. Read our new research with LINGO Initiative. filab.uk/3ZNdX8O

GOOD NEWS 🎉: In 2025, wind and solar generated more electricity in the EU than fossil fuels. This is a real turning point. Clean energy is proving it can outgrow coal, oil and gas. Now governments must step up and build a fairer, greener energy system

GOOD NEWS 🎉: The UK is backing a huge shared North Sea wind farm network. The project sees the UK teaming up with 9 other European countries to provide more clean power, stronger energy security, and a clear path away from fossil fuels. This is the climate cooperation we need.

🚨 Almost 4 billion people could be impacted by extreme heat if warming breaches 2C. This is devastating, but in collective action there is hope. We must get serious about climate action, and end the era of climate-heating oil and gas.

Storm Chandra is the third major storm to hit the UK this month. This is what increasingly frequent and extreme weather looks like. Yet governments keep backing new oil and gas. We don’t have to accept this.

Vigil 208 outside #WestYorkshirePensionFund @bradfordcouncil.bsky.social 29.11.25. The vigil keepers took shelter in 'the worst weather we've ever had. Even the banners didn't stay up.' Climate breakdown, extreme weather causes death in many countries eg Pakistan, Jamaica #Divest from #fossilfuels!

How many #ClimateAlarms does @teamlabouruk.bsky.social need?? Can our #water support data centres?? @watershed-i.bsky.social @leanahosea.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

🚨 The UK Government has announced an end to new oil and gas licences—a major milestone Zero Hour and campaigners have been calling for. 😲 However, loopholes like “tiebacks” could still allow extraction of up to 45 million barrels from existing fields. 👉 Read more: zerohour.uk/northseafutureplan

Wet Vigil 208 on 28.11.25 outside #WestYorkshirePensionFund saying ' #divest from #fossilfuels!' Public pressure works 💪 Govt are ending new oil & gas exploration in the UK.

Thanks to @sioldridge.bsky.social @nickoldridge.bsky.social & the team for their monumental efforts in pulling together yesterday’s National Emergency Briefing www.nebriefing.org on climate change. Thanks also go to those MPs, journalists & others who attended. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Vigil 21.11.25 outside #WestYorkshirePensionFund @bradfordcouncil.bsky.social saying #divest now from #fossilfuels.. for a future! So although #COP30 didn't deliver all we hoped for it showed one truth: people power surged and a shift began. Ending fossil fuels feels closer than ever.

Are you a member of a trade union? Trade unionists are calling on the Labour government to do the right thing by the planet, UK communities and workers, and refuse approval for the climate-wrecking Rosebank oil field. Sign the open letter 👇 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Vigil 206 14.11.25 'It's literally insane that governments are forcing taxpayers to subsidise the destruction of part of humanity's future' Al Gore #GlobalJusticeBradford: ' #WestYorkshirePensionFund #divest from #fossilfuels while you can'. This is our shared future: we need to end fossilfuels now

"The 'reduction in enthusiasm' [for climate action] among rich nations didn’t happen by accident. It’s the product of a deliberate and systematic assault on knowledge by some of the richest people on Earth. Preventing climate breakdown means protecting ourselves from the storm of lies."

A new @oxfaminternational.bsky.social report exposes how a powerful few are driving climate breakdown 🌍 #COP30 leaders must stop the super-rich from burning down the planet. #TaxTheirBillions #TaxTheRich

Two of the world’s richest polluters are scheming to pay less tax and drill more oil. While families across the UK struggle with bills, Shell and Equinor are joining forces on 'Adura', a new venture which will drain the public purse and fuel the climate crisis.

The utter lunacy at every climate-wrecking step of this scandalous business model is hard to overstate: killing old-growth🌲 in BC, trucking them to plants, turning them into pellets, shipping them half-way around the 🌍, then 🔥 them. All subsidized by 🇬🇧 taxpayers. @stand.earth @tzeporah.bsky.social

🚨 In 2024, Switzerland's climate policies were ruled to violate human rights. Now @goodlawproject.bsky.social is taking the UK Govt to court to ensure its policies are fit for purpose. Strengthening our targets and integrating our climate and nature plans via the #CANBill would make sure they are.

Vigil 205 7.11.25 at #WestYorkshirePensionFund As #COP30 begins #AntonioGuterres says: Change course now. A transition away from fossil fuels is a matter of economic self-interest. We say this is also about survival. #Divest! theguardian.com/.../change-c....
