🚨 BREAKING: The government has announced it will impose a windfall tax on renewable energy firms - but NOT on fossil fuel giants.

Fossil Fuel profits totalled close to $100bn in the first 6 months of this year. (can you reference this?)

Why the double standards?

Big incumbents won't help us save the planet, they have other priorities!

Want a sober reminder of where we are in addressing the climate crisis?

Over the last 50 years the oil & gas industry has made $3 billion in profits every day. $52 trillion in pure profit: https://t.co/vNDOhJInja

Time to unplug fossil fuels. #ActOnClimate

🚨 BREAKING: The Met Office has warned this week of a 10 DAY heatwave - with temperatures expected to reach 35 degrees. 🌡️🌡️

Fire services have also warned of increased risk of fires due to tinder dry conditions.

Reminder: if we don't cut emissions, this will get worse.

Absolutely huge, if signed into law the #InflationReductionAct will allocate $369bn to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and investing in renewable energy!

@TheOceanCleanup Incredible stuff 💚

Today we reached an exciting milestone: over 100,000kg of plastic removed from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch - more than the combined weight of two and a half Boeing 737-800s. Here's Boyan illustrating what this looks like in terms of plastic we extracted from the GPGP:
