"Tony Blair’s oil lobbying is a misleading rehash of fossil fuel industry spin" Brought to you by the Tony Blair Institute for Global Corruption, not it's actual name, but what it does in practice. www.theguardian.com/business/202... 1/🧵

Just saw these three stories published one after another while listening to the New York Times' podcast discussing Republicans celebrating their victory in "defeating" the Green New Scam as they successfully say. Their success at delaying climate action does actually go back to Tony Blair. 🔌💡

Seems like yesterday. February 1996. I went to Pembrokeshire to take photographs of the oil spill impacts for use by eNGOs. I ended up helping rescue oiled seabirds. Sometimes you couldn't see one until a 'lump' in the crude oil moved slightly. It was horrific. You never get over it.

The fastest and cheapest way to keep European money at home? Replace the $70billion we send to the US annually for fossil fuels with European energy in European homes, industry and transport.

Farage's fossil-fuel-financed gang of privately-educated former Tories wants to scrap the Equality Act, halt action on the climate crisis and frack the UK. A vote for Farage is a vote for Trumpist politics in the UK: www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Heat pumps! ✨ This engineering marvel uses electricity to efficiently move heat from one place to another. It reduces the need to use polluting fuels like oil and natural gas for heating and less efficient air conditioners for cooling. Learn more! 👉 https://drawdown.org/explorer/use-heat-pumps

6 medics unanimously acquitted of criminal damage at JP Morgan’s, the largest financier of #FossilFuels. Health workers have a duty "to protect population health & to sound the alarm when state or corporate actions place lives, health systems & the conditions for life at risk," @healthxr.bsky.social

🚨BREAKING NEWS! Medics that broke windows at JP Morgan HQ to expose fossil fuel financing links to climate devastation found NOT GUILTY today by jurors. The climate crisis is a health crisis and health professionals have a duty to act when lives are at risk. Read more here: healthforxr.com

So Matt Goodwin, the #Reform candidate for #Gorton&Denton has recently been paid to front propaganda activities for a foreign power… …funded by Putin. When Reform claim to be “patriotic” voters need to ask; “Patriotic…? To which country, Russia…?”

Large electric powered container ships are already a reality. When posting about this 2 years ago the so-called “experts” said it is impossible. Can people stop listening to oil and gas “experts” soon?

The EU is one of the world’s most fossil-import-dependent economies. In 2023, imports met 58% of its energy demand -near pre-crisis levels - leaving consumers exposed to price shocks. That’s far above China (24%) & India (37%); only Japan (84%) & South Korea (80%) rely more. Graph @ember-energy.org

Solara4 is one of Portugal’s biggest solar farms, located in the Algarve (Alcoutim). It has roughly 219 MW capacity, enough electricity for about 200,000 homes, avoiding significant CO₂ emissions. sol.iol.pt/2021/09/20/s...

From ghosting on accountability to crowding climate talks, the fossil fuel industry keeps showing the red flags🚩🚩 @fossilfreeeu.bsky.social 🧵 👇

Winter sports stand for health and resilience—not fossil fuel ads. Tell Canada to make Milano Cortina 2026 the last Olympics sponsored by fossil fuels. cape.ca/action/choos... share.nwmd.social/s/ft0kBEEm

Big Oil "purchased solar and EV patents to ensure others couldn’t use them, solicited control of renewable markets and then abandoned them, and funded powerful institutions to promote false solutions, all while using trade groups to downplay the harms of fossil fuels, according to the complaint." 😠

🙌 Major climate win!  Amsterdam has become the first capital in the world to legally ban meat and fossil fuel advertising. 🌍 More than 50 cities worldwide have now pledged to ban the advertising of fossil fuels. www.desmog.com/2026/01/23/a...

This global heat map is extraordinary. Australian political leaders who pump out fossil fuels and ignore climate change are threatening our survival on this extraordinary continent.

Prime Minister Frederiksen: We have been able to take a very important decision within the European Union - to phase out fossil fuels from Russia. All Europeans can see now that it was a huge mistake to be dependent on Russian fossil fuels. We should never have done that.

More than bloody outrageous. I lived in Derby for years I know the fragility and beauty of that tropical savannah. The WA Labour party are no friends on the environmrnt. They are addicted to mining royalties.

We’ve entered global water bankruptcy, a UN report says. Yet fracking companies want to crack open the Northern Territory’s Beetaloo Basin, and APA @insideapa.bsky.social is helping them do it – despite the huge water demand and contamination risks of fracking. #auspol

Nigel Farage's #Reform party has been soliciting 💷 from #OilAndGas execs & says it'll #DrillBabyDrill if it wins the UK general election There’s a temporary pause on fracking in England, but it’s not written into law. Pl ✍️ this petition calling for all fracking to be banned permanently in England 👇

These types of ppl were saying this exact stuff about anti-fracking activists in 2010... It's their only interpretive framework for understanding ppl organizing without approval.

In 2000 95% of Poland's electricity was from coal. Today it is 51%. Total coal generation in TWh dropped by 36%. Source is new @ember-energy.org European Electricity Review.

Two things to learn from this. 1. The rightwing newspapers are lobby groups whose purpose is to advance the class interest of their proprietors. 2. Lobbyists for the rich and powerful lose their jobs if they are not prepared to lie. www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-uk-...

"... humans routinely fail to manage shared resources sustainably. We overfish from the oceans, burn fossil fuels, and over-prescribe antibiotics; behaviors that offer individualistic short-term benefits, but result in long-term collective negative outcomes." phys.org/news/2026-01...

Cannot reccomend this strongly enough. For me personally so many elements of fascism whenever it emerges in the world seem to have a seed in the fossil fuel economy, the outrageous lies of climate denial. Fighting against fossil fuels = fighting against the tools of fascism.

A new report finds just 32 fossil fuel companies were responsible for HALF of global CO₂ emissions in 2024 . We must phase out fossil fuels and hold polluters accountable. #MakePollutersPay #COP31

#GraphicOfTheWeek: The North Sea is home to 101 operational offshore wind farms, with around 30 GW of installed capacity. It is the largest wind hub in the world, supplying #renewable #wind energy to six European countries. See last week's top graphic: https://loom.ly/AWSeFdE

Investing in fossil fuels when renewables are so obviously taking over makes me think that these people don’t actually like the free market and don’t actually want to create/provide any value

NEW | Wind and solar overtake fossil fuels in the EU power sector 🇪🇺⚡️ Our @ember-energy.org European Electricity Review is out today, showing wind and solar reaching 30% of EU power, compared to 29% for fossil fuels. Here's what happened in EU electricity generation in 2025 🧵

Now that Trump controls Venezuela's oil reserves this shifts the balance of power in the world and The United States and Canada together control close to 50% of the world's oil reserves.

You'll be amazed to hear that on the stock market Chevron ⬆️9% Halliburton ⬆️10% Exxon ⬆️4% ConocoPhillips ⬆️8%

Trump admits US oil execs were informed of the US attack on #Venezuela - called “brazenly illegal” by experts - prior to the coup. Meanwhile, his administration has justified not consulting US lawmakers beforehand due to concerns a leak would compromise operational security🙄 bsky.app/profile/comm...

The cover-up….

Appalling illegal act by Trump to seize Venezuela’s oil. Rajan Menon, Prof of International Relations, outlines Trump's fictitious justifications, including false allegations #Venezuela “stole” oil & land belonging to US. The truth is the US has no legal claim to Venezuelan oil & Trump is a gangster

💯

As Trump continues his quest for Venezuela's oil, remember that the president stripped the legal status away from 300,000 Venezuelans in the US last October, launching the largest delegalization campaign in modern US history.

Oil companies own Donald Trump. If Exxon Mobil tells him to abduct the Venezuelan president…well that's exactly what he does. It's a world controlled by corporations. It’s time we took that control for ourselves.

Release: Greenpeace International Calls for Protection of Venezuelan People Amid Oil-Driven US Intervention “Venezuela’s future won’t be built on oil or military force. It’s time for climate finance and a just transition that puts people, dignity, and a fossil-free future first."

Ban small-scale fracking for onshore oil and gas! This petition by Burniston campaigners already triggered a parliamentary debate. Please show the strength of feeling on this issue by signing it and sharing in your networks. Closing date 4 January 2026 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72...

"The bill for extreme weather damages will continue to rise until the world slashes greenhouse gas emissions and phases out fossil fuels."

Tesla is facing its first annual sales decline in China, the world's largest electric vehicle market. While the drop may appear relatively small, it signaled deeper trouble in a market where competitors like BYD and Xiaomi have posted record growth. /1

(Energy transitions can happen faster than we think): In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark’s electricity was from fossil fuels, but in 2024, that number was a mere 10%. No addition, just transition. Jan Rosenow buff.ly/TERHqrF #ShareGoodNewsToo
