🚨The UK taxpayer is covering 91% the cost of developing Rosebank.

Rosebank's owner Equinor is set to receive £3.75 BILLION in tax breaks for the field.

Equinor made £62 BILLION in profits last year.

Rishi Sunak is subsidising a filthy rich oil giant to produce oil for export

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

Tory MPs, lords and even Downing Street advisers have been accepting money from private healthcare firms as the NHS is on its knees

No wonder no one in the Government seems committed to ending the NHS crisis

RT if you think everyone should be aware

Could you afford treatment without the NHS?

Yet more evidence heat pumps are so efficient they can prove cheaper to run than gas boilers (and would be a lot cheaper still if the government delivered long-awaited energy market reforms). https://t.co/7PzLCCzGHF

Today is #EarthOvershootDay the baseline for the Earth’s resources we can sustainably use

First described in 1971 overshoot day was Dec 25th

Now it’s August 2nd - we are now in ecological debt

Humanity's demand for nature’s resources has exceeded Earth's capacity to regenerate

Given the Conservatives’ condemnation at that photoshopped image of Sunak pulling the pint…

Which do you think is more damaging/misleading?

That picture?

Is it a coincidence that the Sunak family signed a billion dollar deal with BP before signing 100 new oil & gas licences in the North Sea? We need to concentrate on renewables. This government has to go before it wrecks what ecosystems we have left.

Imagine London at 38.9 C on Jan 1st in Winter
This is just what happened in Chile and it did not even make main stream news https://t.co/MYJF632keL

[Howard Beckett @HowardRBeckett]

New oil and gas licences for the North Sea approved in the past two years will alone produce as much carbon dioxide as the annual emissions of nearly 14ml cars, or the entire yearly emissions of Denmark.

And they want to lock up climate protestors.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Rishi Sunak approved 100+ new oil and gas licenses just weeks after the 3 hottest ever recorded days.

History will judge this climate vandalism as a gross moral crime.

[Richard Benwell @RSBenwell]

New polling: if you're of the 63% who think the Government is handling the environment badly, don't just be quietly cross.

Sign the #Nature2030 letter to political leaders & let's see who really steps up for our environment ahead of the #GeneralElection.

We need a luxury emissions tax on private jets, super yachts & space tourism.

Private jets cause 10 times more emissions than normal air travel. The top 1% are responsible for double the emissions of the bottom 50%.

The climate crisis is a symptom of billionaire greed.

[Prof. Peter Strachan @ProfStrachan]

Eight things the world must do to avoid the worst of #ClimateCrisis
1. Stop methane emissions
2. Stop deforestation
3. Restore degraded land
4. Change what we eat
5. Go #RenewableEnergy
6. Use energy more efficiently
7. Stop burning #FossilFuels
8. #ActNow https://t.co/8wNURqsLfL

Nature in the UK

- all large predators extinct

- large wild herbivores shot as ‘pests’

- once common birds in sharp decline

- the buzz of insects a rare sound

- fields of flowers replaced with ryegrass

Looks like a crisis to me
