With so many new MSPs and loud voices against climate action, now is not the time to despair. 

It's the time to come together, get organised and show the new Scottish Parliament our vision for a better world.

Household energy bills are being driven upwards by the insatiable greed of energy companies. 📈

They are profiteering from the war in Iran. 🤑

People in Scotland are paying for the failure of politicians here to transition our energy system away from fossil fuels. 🛢️🔥

[Friends of the Earth Scotland 🌎 @FoEScot]

Since the war in Iran started, it seemed certain that oil companies would be profiteering and people would be hit with higher energy bills.

So why have Scottish politicians spent months pleading for lower taxes on these greedy companies?

Revealed: 75% of Scottish landfills under investigation over pollution permit breaches

Any companies found to have broken the terms of their permits must be penalised for putting people and nature at risk.

"Scientists have little doubt that human-caused climate change - largely the result of the burning of coal, oil and gas - has supercharged the heat."

[Friends of the Earth Scotland 🌎 @FoEScot]

@PriceofOil 4/ The report's conclusion is stark: this would leave "ports with no trade, suppliers with no customers, and skilled workers with no employers."

Public support for climate action remains strong. We need a just transition for workers and communities.

1/ A new report has put a number on what Reform UK's climate policy rollback would actually cost: nearly 500,000 jobs destroyed within 3 years.

That's comparable to almost every teacher in the UK losing their job.

Here's what the research with @priceofoil found 👇

[Friends of the Earth Scotland 🌎 @FoEScot]

@PriceofOil 3/ The damage wouldn't be spread evenly. Scotland would be hit with 13% of short-term job losses despite being 8% of the population.

Already fragile economies like North East England, East Anglia, the West Midlands, Inverness & the North East highlands would be hit the hardest.

The 2026 World Cup is set to be the “most polluting” ever, with emissions nearly twice the historical average.

Transport is a major culprit with the Bosnian team travelling 5,000km across three games.

And it is sponsored by oil giant Saudi Aramco.... 🤯

An ISDS court ruled that the Ecuadorian government should pay Chevron $220 million, overruling an earlier legal victory ordering Chevron to pay damages to impacted communities.
