Congratulations to the 636 fossil fuel lobbyists who were granted access to #COP27, and to all the murderous, fossil-linked sponsors from @CocaCola to @GM.

You guys won the day.

We're still on track for an unlivable world.

May your children forgive you.

Scotland's first Oil Slicks spotted outside @Shell_UKLtd's #Aberdeen HQ this week protesting @GOVUK's approval of Shell's #Jackdaw gas field.

@IEA is unequivocal: we cannot afford to open any more new oil or gas fields to avoid #ClimateBreakdown. 1/

1. Emissions need to fall immediately for both 1.5°C & 2°C.

Why won't BBC follow up this extraordinary story?

Where are the mass media journalists and editors?

The silence will get us all killed.

The public deserves to know we need system change action.https://t.co/5Qub7Hps8Z

“We have about 30% less production of milk and about 30-40% less of cereals & maize”

If you created a system where the richest person on a planet harbouring the only life in the known universe is trying to use all his resources to get himself to a dead planet rather than protect life on his own planet you should probably change your system

So now major powers have made it plain it's acceptable to seize assets of the super rich, and pressure corporations to divest billions in days, when are they starting on the #ClimateCrisis?

"When I first visited Sarawak in the 1970s, the Indigenous communities living there had virtually no money, but they lived well. Now they have money, and can barely feed themselves. They have been impoverished even as incomes rise."

Read and sign this letter to demand a rethink of the Government's transport strategy so that we can more rapidly decarbonise, support modal shift, create a more integrated transport network and lead healthier lives.

The IEA says mining for metals and minerals has to increase 600% to meet demand for new wind, solar and EVs in the next 25 years. They don't say how much water and fossil fuel this requires. And they don't mention that this level of demand is an artificial construct. Degrowth now
