Oil giant @equinor, majority-owned by the Norwegian government, wants to drill the massive Rosebank oil field off the coast of Shetland.
Today, @equinor is holding its shareholder meeting.
Shetlanders are sending a clear message to @Equinor: Shetland will be fossil free.
NEW: The oil industry has been lobbying against green subsidies since the 1960s.
During the same time, fossil fuel companies have enjoyed trillions of dollars in state backing.
They're wrecking the planet for profit while everyone else pays the price.
🌍 The recent pre-wedding celebrations of Anant Ambani, the youngest son of Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani, held in Jamnagar, serves as a stark example of the environmental impact of the lifestyle choices of the ultra-rich. #EnvironmentalImpact#WealthDisparity (1/4)
Titanic springs to mind, we can see this iceberg, strangely the crew at the helm keep driving towards it
#ClimateActionNow - it’s nearly too late.
None of big #FossilFuel producers in North Sea plan to stop drilling soon enough to meet the 1.5C target https://t.co/sXQNePO2Pj
📢BIG NEWS📢

News is one small side of the movement: we can make our own news! We now must build on #thebigone and sustain it once a week up and down the country & grow community for be next few months , a year ! In parallel we need to elect /choose carbon literate & active decision makers
Human-driven climate crisis fuelling Horn of Africa #drought – study. The devastating drought in the Horn of Africa would not have happened without the human-made impact of the #ClimateCrisis, new science has shown. https://t.co/To7pRfU7MS
So the vile, illegal & immoral #RefugeeBanBill from this cruel & callous Government passes its final stage in the Commons, 289 to 230.
Here’s hoping House of Lords will have more guts to challenge Ministers & stand up for the values which we know people in this country hold
HUGE sounds at king Charles Street, Whitehall, London. National UK Extinction Rebellion drummers joining together to protest our governments inaction on climate 🔥😮✊ #TheBigOne@XRebellionUK@XRUK_Actions @XRRhythmsUK
Thanks Julia Hartley Brewer, Toby Young, Lord Frost, Steve Baker MP, The Telegraph, the Daily Mail and more, for your decades of denial and lies - and thanks to the 90% of UK MPs who couldn't even be bothered to watch a briefing last year on climate change https://t.co/zUxYX4OMOV
👏👏 Burning trees emits more CO2 than coal. That CO2 could be captured IF we plant new trees but 🌳s planted today will only make a meaningful difference in 50 yrs time! Drax is the UK's largest carbon emitter, yet receives £617m in taxpayer subsidies. #WePayTreesBurnDraxProfits
