Some great coverage of our recent protest from @obantimes https://t.co/vNk0OMungn #waveofresistance #stoprosebank

🚨BREAKING: A ‘no new oil and gas fields’ policy would only take 15TWh off the UK’s energy grid by 2030.

The same amount of energy created by ONE offshore wind farm.

New research from @ECIU_UK explains how ⬇️

Proud to join the #WaveofResistance against Rosebank oil field at the weekend. The marine impacts of fields like Rosebank are devastating, with loud noises, toxic waste released into the ocean and crucial habitats destroyed by pipelines. UK Gov must say no to Rosebank now!

[Let’s Stop EACOP UK @letsStopEACOPuk]

📣 Today we are in #Manchester protesting at #BIBA2023 conference amplifying the voices of people from Uganda & Tanzania.

🙏 Insurers, we ask you NOT TO INSURE the East Africa Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP)
It would displace up to 100,000 people from their family land.

Who's @equinor's biggest shareholder? The Norwegian government 🤦

Rich countries need to be taking their fair share of responsibility for the climate crisis and support the transition to renewables.

Instead they’re expanding fossil fuels across the world. @sunfloweryell0w

Did you know that Argyll and Bute Council’s pensions are invested in a fund that gives money to the fossil fuel industry? The Strathclyde Pension Fund invests over £800 million in companies like BP, Shell and Equinor. People in Argyll say: #DivestFromCrisis

Cumbria coal mine. Here’s what is universally agreed and accepted by all parties involved : 1 this has zero to do with your energy and fuel bills - it’s about coking coal for steelmaking …

If you couldn’t make it along to Ardfern, keep your eyes peeled for the film being screened in other parts of Argyll in the new year!

[Time for Change Argyll & Bute @TimeforChangeA]

Thanks so much to everyone who came along to our screening of @theoilmachinefilm last night! It was a great turnout and an eye-opening film, followed by interesting discussion with Emma Davie, the director of the film, and Freya Aitchison, oil and gas campaigner.

[Time for Change Argyll & Bute @TimeforChangeA]

We’re screening @TheOilMachine film in Ardfern Village Hall tomorrow evening (5th December) at 7.45pm! Come join to learn more about how the fossil fuel industry works and how we can move away from it for a sustainable future.

[Time for Change Argyll & Bute @TimeforChangeA]

We’re really pleased to hear that 21 @argyllandbute councillors have completed the Carbon Literacy Training delivered by @actinargyll! The better informed our representatives are, the more they will be able to push climate action to the top of the council’s agenda.
