1/ 🤔 indulge us in an exercise of logic, spread over a few posts TL;DR? a new court ruling and a new disclosure mechanism should ban 🇫🇷 French oil & gas major ⛽ TotalEnergies from participating at COP30 in Brazil.

🚨BREAKING: fossil fuel reps met government ministers 500+ times in Labour’s first year in power. 💀 That’s two meetings every working day, overshadowing the meetings held with climate and social justice groups by three to one (1/5)

GOOD NEWS 🎉: A court in South Africa has revoked Shell's permission to drill a number of offshore exploration wells off the country's south-west coast. The Judge found the environmental approval "woefully deficient" on the potential coastal impact of the exploration.

Millions of people threatened by wildfires near their homes, research finds Analysis by an international team of scientists showed 440 million people were threatened by fire encroaching on their homes between 2002 and 2021.

🔥Fantastic that The Corner House & Leigh Day are considering legal action against the planned Foreign Office job exchange with oil giant Shell and arms manufacturer BAE Systems. Companies driving the climate crisis and violating human rights should have no place in Whitehall!

The world's most famous medical NGO concludes Israel is committing genocide. It joins a consensus of genocide scholars, including in Israel, and NGOs like Amnesty International. No politician or journalist can claim "I did not know at the time!" to evade future justice.

This Monday, MPs debated restrictions on fossil fuel marketing for the first time in history. Citing the need to tackle industry greenwash, lobbying and air pollution, the majority of MPs argued for a ban on fossil fuel advertising and sponsorship 🥳 Find out more: bit.ly/fossil-ads-s...

With just a couple of hours to go until the debate - the first time ever that Parliament has formally discussed the need to ban fossil fuel ads and sponsorship - read Jonathan Porritt's case for why a ban is past due: www.independent.co.uk/voices/fossi...

Today is the day! It's not too late to write to your MP to ask them to attend the debate and speak up for a ban! Time to end fossil fuel greenwash, disinformation and lobbying via sponsorship and advertising. ❇️ Take action now: email your MP actionnetwork.org/letters/urge...

Fossil fuels cause climate breakdown. So why asked @chrisgpackham.bsky.social's petition is it legal for FF companies to advertise? Ask YOUR MP to join the debate in parliament on Monday: mpwatch.org/fossil-fuel-... @stopfundingheat.bsky.social @cleancreatives.bsky.social

🚨URGENT: Can you take 2 mins now to ask your MP to support a ban on fossil fuel advertising and sponsorship at this coming Monday's debate?! We've banned tobacco ads and sponsorship for causing public harm. It's time for fossil fuel ads and sponsorship to go the same way. bit.ly/ban-fossil-a...

Billionaires have broken Britain. #MakeThemPay to fix it. On Saturday 20 September, thousands of us will take to the streets to demand the government: ✅ Tax the super-rich ✅ Protect workers, not billionaires ✅ Make polluters pay Spread the word today!

😡This is outrageous! The windfall tax should be used to lower the public's energy bills - not effectively funnelled back into oil & gas company pockets! ⚠️While fossil fuel companies hold the ear of government, their interests will be served over the public's: we must kick them out of our politics!

🧵 REVEALED: Community energy projects in Scotland are generating 100x more local wealth than privately-owned wind farms. But just 0.5% of the renewable power is community-owned. Why this staggering imbalance?

Now more than ever, we need politicians to take action to protect our future from climate collapse. Fuelled by fossil fuel industry donations and climate denialism, Jenkyns and Reform will only intensify climate risk - in Lincolnshire and beyond.

The UK gov & IEA are hosting a summit on energy security - dominated by Big Oil 🤢. There is no security of any kind in a fossil fuel future. The industry driving climate breakdown and profiting from energy price shocks must NOT continue to be allowed to influence policy in its favour.

🚨 START POINT ANNOUNCED - National Demo - Nakba 77 ⏰ Saturday 17 May, 12PM 📍 Embankment Tube, London Join us on 17 May as we mark the 77th anniversary of the 1948 Nakba and demand our government take action to end the ongoing ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from their land.

More #greenwashing exposed! TotalEnergies tried to paint itself as a #CleanEnergy leader in an ad so misleading it got BANNED. Meanwhile 90% of its sales still come from oil & gas.

Energy companies are: ⚠️Plunging people into debt ⚠️Driving a health crisis that's increasing the strain on our already overburdened NHS ⚠️Fuelling climate breakdown. We need politicians to act NOW to bring bills down and make these pollution profiteers pay for the harms they have caused.

Scottish Labour could be the party that champions a clean energy agenda ahead of the 2026 Holyrood election, but to do that Sarwar needs to let go of the pipedream of new oil & gas and back a renewable energy industry that supports local jobs & homegrown power, not to mention a safe climate. END

These comments from @anassarwar.bsky.social suggest a misunderstanding of both the UK's oil & gas licensing regime as well as a failure to grasp how little we can rely on North Sea oil companies to provide domestic energy security: /1 www.newstatesman.com/politics/sco...

📣 Stop Airport Expansion 📣 Help us tell the government WE DON’T WANT EXPANSION at any UK airport, including Heathrow, Gatwick and Luton. Sign the petition: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

HUGE NEWS 🎉: The UK Government has made good on its commitment to stop new oil and gas licensing. This is a vital step towards ending our reliance on fossil fuels. Now the UK gov must go further and ensure a fast and fair transition.

🚨This week people are meeting their MPs and MSPs to tell them we must *stop* new oil and gas. Together, we’ve driven the fight to end new oil and gas up the political agenda. But the fossil fuel lobby will stop at nothing to protect its profits. Take action: www.stopcambo.org.uk/rosebank-mp-...

Fossil Fuel Cos hope to keep profits rolling in with #CCS. But the Public Accounts Committee recently ruled, it's an expensive & unproven technology MP Watch will be supporting @drandrewboswell.bsky.social @ the Royal Courts of Justice alongside @mp-fossilfree.bsky.social. #FakeSolutions

BREAKING | Cabinet Office makes unprecedented disclosure of docs from Former PM’s meetings with billionaire Chair of the #Adani Group - including at the @sciencemuseumldn.bsky.social on the day its sponsorship of a new energy gallery was announced! cultureunstained.org/2025/02/14/b...

🚨Polluted political donation alert! Scottish Labour should *not* be taking money from SSE, which: 🏭Owns Peterhead gas power station, one of Scotland's biggest sources of pollution, and... 😱Is pushing to develop another gas plant, which will blow up Scotland's carbon budget.

🚨 Tell the Home Secretary and the Mayor of London - Defend our right to protest The Met Police banned our planned peaceful protest at the BBC. We cant let them silence us. Tell Yvette Cooper and Sadiq Khan to defend our right to protest. Write here: palestinecampaign.eaction.online/right-to-pro...

Drax power station is by far the largest emitter of CO2 in the country, emitting more than the next 4 largest power stations combined, & a source of huge environmental destruction. It’s beyond comprehension - and reason - if Government really is considering renewing yet more taxpayer subsidies

ALERT! Over 86,000 lives disrupted in Uganda & Tanzania to make way for EACOP! Families forced to flee their homes, livelihoods destroyed, and social-economic progress hindered! It's time to #StopEACOP and prioritize people over profit! #EACOPhasNoFuture

😡No matter what you think about carbon capture generally, that Miliband exclusively met with fossil fuel interests before committing vast sums of public money to supporting carbon capture projects is outrageous. www.independent.co.uk/news/busines...

Last year, the government committed to a landmark Pensions Review - the first opportunity in two decades to overhaul the £3 trillion private pension system. 🤔 So what does this mean for the divestment movement? 👇👇

NEW🚨: Starmer facing growing internal backlash over any potential Rosebank reapproval. Rosebank WON'T bring down bills or provide energy security, but WILL accelerate climate collapse. #StopRosebank

BREAKING: Rosebank & Jackdaw oil fields have been ruled unlawful 🎉 A critical victory. The science is clear: we can't continue fossil fuel extraction if we want a sustainable future The next step is public ownership & publicly coordinated decommissioning of oil & gas fields @stopcambo.bsky.social

We need to make sure that EVERY MP and MSP hears from their constituents that for a safe climate and affordable energy, we must stop new oil & gas NOW. Sign up now actionnetwork.org/forms/no-new...

🥳💥 HUGE WIN for @stopcambo.bsky.social! Massive congratulations to all who have campaigned tirelessly for this. This is a breakthrough for public over private interests. For a liveable future over fossil fuel profits. Now, the government must cancel Rosebank and ban new oil and gas for good.

BREAKING: Dr Patrick Hart is the first working GP to be sent to prison for nonviolent direct action. Sentenced to 12 months for a @just-stopoil.bsky.social action against ExxonMobil petrol pumps. Why did he do it? Because he's seen children die at the hands of the fossil fuel industry.

We need friends, neighbours kids work colleagues to wise up about the urgency. media to report honestly. politicians to push for Net Zero nationally & internationally. The best time to start was 50 years ago. The next best is NOW. @mp-fossilfree.bsky.social @mvtfwd.bsky.social @

Of the 152 extreme-weather attribution studies carried out around the world over the last two decades, 93 per cent concluded that human-induced climate change made extreme heat events more likely.

People used to talk about "wildfire seasons". Thanks to our increasing accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere, it is now a year-round phenomenon in many regions. This is at 'just' 1.5°C Imagine the wildfires we will have at 2.5°C www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...
