First coal, then gas #strandedassets #divest

WSJ: renewables plus batteries are wiping out gas.
One utility exec who's done with gas: "I'm hellbent on not becoming the next Blockbuster video."

[Carbon Tracker @CarbonBubble]

As the @IEA’s latest data shows, renewable energy grew last year, and it was the only energy source that did so as consumption of #gas, #oil, & #coal all declined. #Renewables were not just an energy growth sector; they were the only energy growth sector https://t.co/oftFrZL8I1

Net-zero = A “sham that BP and others use to hide their responsibility and their inaction on climate change”

Actually Big Deal--the head of the UN calls on all lenders to stop funding fossil fuel projects.“We can no longer afford big fossil fuel infrastructure anywhere,” he said. “Such investments simply deepen our predicament.

California blazes a trail with 95 percent renewable energy

"California coming close to 100% renewable is years ahead of schedule...state goal is 100% renewable by 2045"

their response wasn’t good enough, so we are calling for action.

join us in demanding that shell’s sponsorship is dropped:

Three #TowerHamlets rebels took part in #RebellionofOne yday - on Blackfriars Bridge, Tower Bridge & Commercial Street. They put themselves in harms way to share their fear of the #ClimateEmergency - if our Government does not #actnow. @xrebellionuk @xr_london

Gayle (60), a retired Queens Nurse explains why she is taking non-violent direct-action in #Cheltenham today as part of #RebellionOfOne.

"I'm doing this action so my children can breathe clean air, live healthy lives and happy lives."

If we move quickly, we could slow Earth’s warming by 30 percent – and that sounds pretty great to us! https://t.co/wJDJcg5kq4

Major test for Shell’s massive multi-purpose greenwashing juggernaut "Shell is very, very good at creating what looks like a climate plan, but is instead an extremely mild shuffling of numbers underneath the hood. They're the Hummer of greenwashing."

Oil companies have for decades made money by extracting C from ground. Now they’re trying to make money putting it back"

But “Transitioning energy away from fossil fuels, planting trees, and reducing deforestation is a much better way to address C"

@TowerHamletsNow @MayorJohnBiggs @dpcarrington @PoppyNoor Worse, they are pursuing a strategy of engagement with ff companies, which is utterly ineffective: their core business relies on selling their reserves of fossil fuels in the ground, and they continue to lobby for that: https://t.co/A2vcpe5cfg. We need to #keepitintheground

[Friends of the Earth Hackney & Tower Hamlets @FoE_HTH]

@TowerHamletsNow @MayorJohnBiggs @dpcarrington @PoppyNoor The Committee’s decision to focus on decarbonisation is #greenwashing: the fund they have chosen tracks the MSCI ACWI Low Carbon Target Index, which has over 50 fossil fuel companies! How can you declare a climate emergency and then turn around and invest in Shell?! #EmptyWords

[Friends of the Earth Hackney & Tower Hamlets @FoE_HTH]

@TowerHamletsNow twiddles its thumbs as the world burns. Yesterday’s failure to progress #divestment from world-ruining fossil fuels is tragically irresponsible. What about your 2018 election promise @MayorJohnBiggs? #ClimateStrike @dpcarrington @PoppyNoor @TowerHamletsXR

[XR Tower Hamlets ⧖⃝ @XRTowerHamlets]

We’re at Tower Hamlets’ Council Pension Committee with @friends_earth to demand divestment from fossil fuels. 💪#divestnow #divestment #ExtinctionRebellion
