The #StopRosebank campaign is taking the UK government to court for approving the climate-wrecking Rosebank oil field - and I've asked that the case be put forward in my name. Tell the Government that this case is also in your name: https://t.co/NHjaG79I5p

Professor Kevin Anderson is addressing all of us in very clear words:

»We are heading towards 3 to 4°C of warming across this century, an absolute climate catastrophe for all species incl our own. And all we are doing so far is giving rhetoric and optimism and greenwash.«
