Campaign Leader @Global_Witness. Climate advocate or eco terrorist, relative to how much $ you make from oil & gas. Opinions mine, especially libellous ones
Why's it so hard to tackle #climatebreakdown? Because the oil sector has made $3bn-a-day profits for 50 yrs. And with that money they've bought politicians, blocked legislation, funded climate denial & paid PR agencies to greenwash their image. That's why https://t.co/Dfi0vy2U99
🇺🇸Extreme heat is killing ordinary Americans. Now storm season threatens hundreds more
Ordinary people shouldn't pay for disasters they couldn't prevent. But Big Oil should

🚨ONSHORE WIND INCOMING🚨
The new government has just confirmed they're unblocking new onshore wind projects in England TODAY🎉
This is a huge step forward for our climate, economy and energy bills.
Huge shout out to everyone who's got involved with our campaign - we did it😁
This year's #COP29 climate talks will be in Azerbaijan, where Dr Gubad Ibadoghlu, critic of the fossil fuel industry, was imprisoned on fabricated charges & beaten by police
His daughter @BayramovaZhala spoke to us at the Bonn climate talks

As UN climate talks continue, we're putting the spotlight on #COP29 host Azerbaijan’s inhumane treatment of renowned economist & fossil fuel industry critic Gubad Ibadoghlu, who was severely beaten & imprisoned on fabricated charges last year.
BREAKING
UAE oil company, @ADNOC, sought deals worth almost $100B in the year its CEO was president of COP28, 5 X more than in the previous year

The Govt keeps citing 200,000 UK oil and gas jobs to justify pumping more planet-heating fossil fuels. But that number is far higher than official ONS stats, nobody can verify it and it comes - you've guessed it - directly from the oil & gas lobby itself. https://t.co/ljYSmb55gl
📢Our @AliceBHarrison says 'Oil giants are making off with the heist of the century, shoveling their shameful profits to shareholders instead of investing in clean energy.'
In 2023, the hottest year on record, the Big Five oil giants made £100bn+ profits

NEW: Analysis finds that 80% of UK oil and gas is exported.
This directly contradicts @RishiSunak's claims that new fields like Rosebank will increase the UK’s energy security.
This government is taking us for fools.
The oil industry is kicking off 2024 by spending millions to undermine global progress on the climate crisis. Far from being "part of the solution" as they claimed at COP28, they are aggressively working to prevent any transition away from fossil fuels. https://t.co/j1STVcru6Y
Is this a bad case of deja-vu?
“We now have a former oil executive from an authoritarian petrostate in charge of the world’s response to the crisis that fossil fuel firms created,” our @AliceBHarrison on the appointment of the new #COP president.

Govt said #Rosebank oil field would cut energy bills - then Energy Sec admitted it wouldn't. Govt said it would boost energy security - now Minister admits vast majority of oil won't be used here. So what is Rosebank for, other than climate destruction?

BREAKING: The UK govt has finally admitted what we’ve been saying all along: developing the Rosebank oil field WON’T lower energy bills or increase our energy security.
@RishiSunak’s shoddy excuse for approving Rosebank has been exposed as a LIE. #StopRosebank
“I’m certain that in 100 years, when we’ve all been melted in our beds by climate change, we will realise that, far from being a status symbol, driving an SUV is an unconscionable act of ignorance.” https://t.co/gt7stzgel1
Within days of fossil fuels taking centre stage at COP28, Uplift & Greenpeace have today filed separate legal challenges against the UK government's disastrous decision to approve the Rosebank oil field.
🧵 on the many reasons Uplift think it's unlawful:

New findings from my @Global_Witness colleagues shows the UAE government has invited to #COP28 CEOs of fossil fuel firms that plan to invest nearly $800 billion in oil and gas production by 2030. https://t.co/28g9TNmDWC
