Make Polluters Pay

The oil giants made billions wrecking our climate and driving up bills. It’s time they paid to fix it - here and abroad. We're holding them to account!

Oops, he just said the quiet part out loud: cutting taxes for fossil fuel giants to l̶o̶w̶e̶r̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶r̶ ̶b̶i̶l̶l̶s push their profits higher.

We say tax excess profits, cut bills, build renewables, break free from fossil fuel doom-loops.

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

[End Fuel Poverty Coalition @EndFuelPoverty]

📈From 1st July, average energy bills will rise by £221, a 13.5% increase, and £820 more than households were paying before the 2021 energy crisis began. The main driver is the cost of gas, which is 25% up on last quarter.

Forecasts point to further price increases in October, so households face a summer of suspense, not knowing whether they can cope this winter.

💷In the last three months, energy companies have made more than £3bn profits in UK operations alone, while millions of households are still carrying energy debt from previous winters.

🗣️The government must spell out what support will be available now, not later.

🚨 BREAKING: The UN General Assembly has voted to adopt the historic ICJAO climate ruling. This is an incredible landmark moment for global climate justice. "There is no ambiguity now." ⚖️🧵 #makepolluterspay #fossilfuels

Regulating the Enablers
"A lack of financial sector regulation means private finance continues to flow to the source of the problem. Governments have the power to make fossil fuel companies and the banks that fund them pay for the harms they cause." -Joanne O’Neill, ActionAid UK

War. Crisis. Record profits. 🛑💸
Shell just reported $6.92bn for Q1 while households absorb a $1,400 per-person annual drain. This isn't just business as usual, it's an indictment of a system that fuels instability at our expense.
It’s time to make polluters pay. #Shell

People Over Profit
"Shell’s obscene profits are a stark reminder that we need our governments to put people and planet before profit, because oil corporations never will unless we force them to." - Louise Hazan, Tipping Point UK ✊☀️

While they pop champagne, 100+ survivors in the Philippines are suing for the climate damages Shell helped create. 🛑💸#MakePollutersPay #ShellProfits #ClimateJustice #OutOfPocket

In case you missed this!

📣 @ChrisGPackham hits the nail on the head. While Shell banks $6.92bn in "exceptional" profits, the rest of us are left with the bill. This isn't just a "market shock" it's a system designed to siphon wealth from your pocket to their bottom line.

Profiting from illegal wars and burning up our one and only home . . . what a lovely company . . . Shell profits rise as Iran war pushes oil prices higher https://t.co/tuU3XJFUkA

This was just the beginning.
Now we build on it.
Now we make it stick.

That’s a wrap on Santa Marta 🇨🇴
What a moment.
Our beach action, mock “oil CEOs” celebrating crisis profits, went global 🌍
Picked up by The Washington Post, The Guardian, AP.
And it captured something bigger. 👇 @StopBigOil @350

In Santa Marta, something shifted.
The plan to end fossil fuels got real.
The conversation is no longer if
but how fast… and who pays.
