.@GreenpeaceUK is taking the government to court over its approval of @Shell’s Jackdaw gas project.
@KwasiKwarteng needs to #StopJackdaw and all new oil and gas projects!
BREAKING: The UK govt has just approved the Jackdaw gas field.
It’s atrocious that even though the science is clear that we can’t have new oil and gas projects, they’re giving the green light to yet another climate wrecking project.
But it's not over!

Fossil fuel interests are now cynically using the war in Ukraine to try to lock in a high carbon future.
A shift to renewables is crucial to mending our broken global energy mix & offering hope to millions suffering climate impacts today.
I was recently invited to debate with a representative of @bp_plc about what the net-zero target means for UK energy policy.

The UK's Science Museum has become a flag carrier for the broader attitude that fossil fuel companies are somehow uniquely positioned to prevent the damage caused by fossil fuels.
Don't misdescribe this as naive centrism: it is very literally a deadly ideology.
“There’s a massive lie being perpetrated by people in the City, these fossil fuel companies & the gov. The lie is these investments are safe. They are not safe."
Why are we believing this lie @hackneycouncil@HackneyLabour?
#DivestHackney#FossilFree@XRHackney
Strong proposal from @EdwardJDavey, which includes the following:
"In the longer term, pension funds would have to disinvest from fossil fuels by 2035, with all companies with fossil fuel assets removed from the exchange by 2045."
