Artist. Dad. Deeply concerned about the Climate Crisis and #ecocide. Thinking of ways I can help 🌍 #HapplessClimateDad #StopRoseBank and Stop #AttackOnNature

A hard to watch but inspiring film. Been hearing and thinking a lot about how we need to tell stories about what the Climate Crisis really means for people’s lives. We have to appeal to people’s emotions, as the rational argument (the science, the facts) alone isn’t enough.

[Rupert Read 🌍 🔥 @GreenRupertRead]

Is THIS civilisation finished? Looks like it. But what comes next? That’s where you come in…

My new short film OUT OF THE ASHES, written by me & @frannyarmstrong and directed by @ageofstupid animation director Martyn Pick.

Please watch and RT!

@ChaucerSynd On your website you state that “Central to our Mission Statement is sustainability.” If so, why have you not yet refused to insure the ecocidal #EACOP project, and instead have blocked young climate activists @letsStopEACOPuk ???🤦‍♂️ #StopEACOP #InsureOurFuture

Finally got it on a petrol station lol

[Amelia @amelia_halls]

Today 7 of my friends were found guilty of acting to save the planet. They used exactly the same tactics as the Suffragettes, and now face prison. You might be demonising climate activists now, but you’ll be thanking us in the future. You’ll be wishing you acted with us.

[Let’s Stop EACOP UK @letsStopEACOPuk]

🎄24 reasons not to insure the #EACOP: (1/24) HUMAN RIGHTS 🤝

➡️ On the 15/09, the EU condemned the EACOP for human rights violations.
You don’t want to be associated with that, do you @TMKiln @britinsurance @ChaucerSynd?

[Fossil Free London @fossilfreeLDN]

BREAKING: We just disrupted Andy Samuel the man in charge of the UK's oil & gas regulator - as he spoke in a fancy London hotel to WeCa an event choca-block with climate killers from Shell to Equinor.

Almost £3k a ticket but we snuck in

He must #StopRosebank - we want to live!

[Let’s Stop EACOP UK @letsStopEACOPuk]

The East African Crude Oil Pipeline is uninsurable ❌

@CanopiusGroup @Chaucer_Ins @britinsurance @tokiomarine @LloydsofLondon when do you refuse to insure this climate bomb? 💣⛔

The problem is not simply that capitalism produces too much, but that it produces the wrong stuff: SUVs, fast fashion and planned obsolescence instead of public transit, affordable housing and universal healthcare. It overuses resources and still fails to meet even basic needs.

[Robin Close @RobinClose]

@10DowningStreet @RishiSunak Drilling for new oil and gas is completely at odds with keeping 1.5 alive. What’s your plan @RishiSunak ?

@trussliz @TeamQEH @SteveBarclay @jamesowild I don’t know how you’ve got the nerve. Your reckless incompetence cost the country £30bn. How many new hospitals would that have paid for? 😡😡😡😡

[Shayan Sardarizadeh @Shayan86]

The widely shared claim that the Iranian regime has committed to executing 15,000 detained protesters is not true. Please stop sharing it. The Iranian regime is horrific, brutal and ruthless as it actually is. There's no need to make up stories.

Following my earlier tweet, it seems @ZacGoldsmith might not be so bad (for Turquoise Tory at least!) https://t.co/UsLLSUO2aI

[Robin Close @RobinClose]

Cowardly @ZacGoldsmith doing his best to get away from an 11 year old climate activist at #Cop27. And just look at his aide physically blocking her. Young people are not going to stand for this much longer. They are being denied the right to life 🌍

[Standard News @standardnews]

Zac Goldsmith walked away from an 11-year-old climate activist at COP27 who repeatedly asked when the government will release jailed climate protestors https://t.co/w0s9qaZEd5

[Peter Kalmus @ClimateHuman]

I do not personally feel that human extinction is likely, but I do feel we are currently on a highway to messy civilizational collapse and a long dark ages, and the key to getting off this highway is to stand up to the fossil fuel industry and ramp it down quickly. #EmergencyMode

[Robin Close @RobinClose]

I just signed this letter calling for a #FossilFuelTreaty. Will you join parents & sign too?

1⃣No new coal, oil & gas projects
2⃣Phase out existing fossil fuel projects equitably
3⃣Global just transition to 100% renewables

[Jon Trickett MP @jon_trickett]

Yesterday I challenged the Prime Minister about Coca-Cola’s suitability as a sponsor of COP27.

After push back from climate activists, it’s being reported that they will no longer be an official sponsor.

[Mandy Kay @Mandoline_Blue]

Just Stop Oil protesters may serve up to 10 years in prison.

The maximum jail term for greivous bodily harm is five years.

So trying to save the planet is a worse crime in the UK than running a person over with a truck and breaking both their legs?

Wow.
