Over 100 international lawyers (including me) warn that U.S. strikes on Iran violate the UN Charter and may be war crimes. Read the letter here: www.justsecurity.org/135423/profe...

In just weeks, world leaders head to Santa Marta, Colombia for the FIRST-EVER international conference on phasing out fossil fuels.Tell EU Climate Commissioner Hoekstra: show up with real plans to end coal, oil, and gas not just speeches. 350.org/tell-eu-foss...

A fitting headline for April 1st but actually no joke: Total says it cannot formulate net zero targets 🫢 www.esgtoday.com/totalenergie...

💥 WOW! Already 44 ❗ countries are now officially confirmed to attend the first conference on the phase out of #fossilfuels in St. Marta this April - full list below: 🌎 This includes both fossil fuel producer & consumer countries from across the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia and Pacific. 1/2

🚨BREAKING: Over $100BN lost to #Oil and #Gas Price Spikes in 1st Month of #Iran War, @350.org analysis shows. 🤯 We estimate $104.2–$111.6 billion has been siphoned from ordinary people to oil and gas companies in the first month alone, enough to build #solar power for 150 million households. 🧵1/2

Brilliant idea: Free public transport introduced across #Australia in reaponse to #fossilfuel prices

No shit, Sherlock. 🕵️‍♂️: Shell is worried that the #Iran war and #fossilfuel supply shock is “undermining consumer confidence"? Wars, chokepoints, and political brinkmanship send prices spiking overnight, customers don’t get the “wrong signal.” They get the bill.

Its important to recognize the scale of this #fossilfuel crisis. And anticipate the horrific humanitarian carnage if decision makers don’t act decisively.

“In times of war, all illusions crumble: energy security is not a matter of technology or figures in market reports, but a matter of daily life, social stability, and human dignity.” How does war impact our daily lives? Read more 👇👇👇

#Fossilflation is here #US inflation will surge to 4.2% on #energy shock, warns OECD giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

🚨 BREAKING: #India 🇮🇳 , the world’s most populous country, has put forward a new #climate target ( #NDC) Some will say it doesn’t go far enough But step back for a second: this is a developing country of 1.4 billion people spending the past year working out plans on clean power + adaptation 1/3

This #fossilfuel crisis is turning into a #hunger emergency Energy prices feed into fertiliser Fertiliser feeds into food prices Food feeds into political stability 60 countries face collapse from even a sustained $10-oil-price-shock This time many countries never recovered from the last shocks.

The Philippines declare an #energy #emergency in wake of #Iran war. #Fossilfuel dependency makes countries and people more vulnerable than ever. www.bbc.com/news/article...

In case you needed one more reason to #windfalltax #fossilfuel companies profiting from the current crisis: #Total happy to take 1bn USD from #Trump to drop wind energy project and putting it in #gas instead www.rechargenews.com/policy/total...

Every responsible decision maker in politics, industry etc. should read this. Or better yet the original WMO report it’s about (linked in the article). And then think very seriously: What am I doing to stop this? Is it enough? How do I want to be remembered? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I don’t think we have understood yet how serious this crisis is. IEA’s Fatih Birol: ~5 mb/d lost in each of the 1970s oil shocks; ~75 bcm gas after Russia’s 2022 invasion. Now: ~11 mb/d oil and ~140 bcm gas disrupted. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

There’s an argument to be made that these strikes, particularly those on oil and gas facilities, are not only part of an unlawful act of aggression, and strikes on civilian objects in violation of IHL, but a violation of climate law obligations. The war worsens the climate crisis.

The #UK is about to dramatically cut #aid to the worlds poorest. This is not belt-tightening, but moral abdication. Shared thoughts with @stuti.bsky.social for this story why this is an absurd phantom debate and how Minister Should rather eye windfall profits of fossil fuel giants 👇

It's hard to read this headline about the #USA and think this approach to foreign policy is inspired by anything else than mafia extortions.

Grist does a great deep dive into the 4 ways #Trump is sabotaging #climate action: Killing a carbon tax Undermining the Plastics Treaty Trying to silence an island nations at the #UN Trying to overstate #fossilfuels in the IEA scenarios Shared thoughts on the fourth with them 🧵 1/2

"Why isn't NATO dealing with the consequences of my actions?" yells man on golf course.

An obscene development of the #Iran war is big #oil `s shares and profits soaring. My @350.org colleague told the Guardian: “Working people shouldn’t be paying the price while oil majors treat the war in the Middle East like a winning lottery ticket. The right response is a strong windfall tax"

🔴The Oil Lobby Is Using the Iran War to Revive North Sea Drilling but Official Data Shows It Won’t Cut Bills Fossil fuel funded think tanks, petrostate-linked policy institutes and oil market insiders are all being presented as impartial observers by the media, reports @nafeez.bsky.social

❗ 𝐔𝐧𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝: The IEA countries release a record 400million barrels of #oil after the price per barrel jumped to 119$. Its serious: Thats twice as much than was released after Russia invaded Ukraine and caused and energy crisis. 1/3

One month until the first conference on transitioning away from #fossilfuels 👀. Some in depth overview by @sebastianrodvar.bsky.social 👇 Shared some thoughts how necessary this is & that we expect progress in two tiers: Phase out champions + countries who move slower but in the right direction.

I was live on Sky News discussing #Europe ’s exposure to #fossilfuel price shocks and why #renewables are the real energy #security strategy. This is not an energy crisis, it's a fossil fuel crisis. 1/3 🧵

Iran Red Crescent warns of toxic rain after US-Israeli attacks on fuel depots - https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/iran-red-crescent-warns-toxic-rain-after-us-israeli-attacks-fuel-depots

Excellent @carbonbrief.org summary of the new 5-year plan of #China, including analysis by @350.org: "The plan was widely expected to mark a clearer transition from carbon-intensity targets toward absolute emissions reductions…[but instead] leaves significant ambiguity (...)"

"Semieniuk’s team calculated what would have happened if the U.S. government redistributed the portion of the fossil fuel industry’s 2022 profits that exceeded its 2021 returns. They found that the move would send $1,715 to every American household."

I discussed earlier with experts how the Strait of Hormuz disruptions will end up in favour of Russia, as its stranded oil is in demand. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/m...

#China, the largest emitter, released its new five-year plan 👀 Spoke with @climatechangenews.com how this is insufficient progress - expanding wind & solar at record speed is a huge achievement, but China must end #fossilfuel expansion, notably #coal and reduce emissions faster

Climate Action Network (CAN) Europe stands in solidarity with the people of Iran and the wider Middle East, who are bearing the devastating human cost of escalating violence and war. The protection of human life must be prioritised. 1/2

The #UK plans to cut its aid budget. Shameful! Shared with @stuti.bsky.social of the @theindependent.bsky.social that the UK should instead tax the windfall profits #fossilfuel companies are making from gas price spikes linked to the war with Iran. www.independent.co.uk/climate-chan...

Are EU gov'ts, looking to tackle soaring energy prices, again going to be subsidising the fossil fuel industry?

Update: The price of fossil #gas in the #EU is about to double now 🤯 . #Fossilfuels drive the very wars that that make ordinary people pay and companies like Shell and Exxon cash in.

While people in #Iran suffer from #Trump war, #fossilfuel companies are going to cash in: The gas price in Europe has jumped 25% today within a day. The bills for these windfall profits will land on kitchen tables of ordinary people. 1/3 🧵

China’s latest energy data offers a signal worth paying attention to. In 2025, emissions from energy and industry fell by 0.3%, modest, but notable, even as total energy consumption rose by 3.5%. The key driver? A continued surge in solar power capacity.

The American bombardment of Iran has been launched without explanation, without Congress, without public support. Above all it has been launched without a coherent strategy for the Iranian people, and without a plan to let them build a legitimate Iranian state. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Draft agenda of COP31: 14 priorities, 50 sub-priorities, and not one explicit reference to fossil fuels, the source of roughly three-quarters of global warming. After 80+ countries backed a roadmap to transition from fossil fuels, this looks look more like an omission than an oversight.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/resourc... Back in 2010, China’s total solar energy capacity was 0.1 GW. Global Energy Monitor, which collected the data, says once smaller solar projects - such as panels on top of homes - are taken into account, China's total solar capacity is in fact already 1,063GW.

US 🇺🇸 Energy Secretary Chris Wright 𝘁̶𝗵̶𝗿̶𝗲̶𝗮̶𝘁̶𝗲̶𝗻̶𝘀̶ offers to leave International Energy Agency (IEA) if the work is "infused with climate stuff". Let's take him by his word. The IEA will be stronger without this U.S. administration.
