EU commission president von der Leyen said today the EU isn't fighting fossil fuels, only the *emissions* from fossil fuels

total nonsense, we can't separate fossil fuels from carbon emissions

even IF we could, they're a disaster for health, nature & human rights even before you burn them

Heatwaves caused by fossil fuels use are driving up electricity demand.

Fossil fuel industry are prescribing more gas to meet the electricity demand caused by more heatwaves.

CRIMINAL.

Carbon capture set to be less useful in tackling climate change, scientists warn CO₂ stored underground will be at risk of leaking back into the atmosphere, study finds

It's almost as though industry are using the CCS pipe-dream to continue expanding oil and gas....!?

GOOD NEWS 🎉: A court in South Africa has revoked Shell's permission to drill a number of offshore exploration wells off the country's south-west coast.

The Judge found the environmental approval "woefully deficient" on the potential coastal impact of the exploration.

I’ve said it before but reading all the medieval history books I’ve been reading lately has been so comforting. Makes you realize that there have always been mad and incompetent kings and they almost always die in ignominy and everyone piles shit on them for centuries after they’re gone.

1/ We say NO to #TrumpPutin #Gas, and NO to #Gas from anywhere. Fossil gas is not the future. Clean, 100% renewable solutions exist! Ahead of the June 16 Energy Council, we say it loud: Gas dependency = energy insecurity. Time to phase it out for good. #BeyondGas #EnergyJustice

Is everyone else feeling constantly at a 10/10 on the existential fear scale, or is that just me?

Huge shoutout to my dad (@davidrobb.bsky.social) for taking on this epic challenge for a worthy cause! ✨

Lessons from a burnout: 2 years later | Eilidh Robb It's been 2 years since I was signed off on #burnout leave, and I wanted to take some time to reflect on what I learned in case any one else needs to hear it 💚

Wanted to share some lessons from my #burnout 2 years on. In case anyone out there needs to feel less alone 💛

Stumbling across these will never not be funny 🤣

Asian Civil Society Organizations Warn European Leaders about the ‘Japanese Model’ of LNG Investment - Oil Change International London, UK – Today, during the International Energy Agency (IEA) Summit, 27 civil society organizations from 9 countries in Asia sent a letter to European Union (EU) decision-makers warning them not…

1/ 📢 At the @IEA Summit, Asia CSOs warn EU: don’t repeat the ‘Japanese Model’ of investing public 💵 in LNG. LNG doesn't deliver #EnergySecurity - it's caused blackouts, debts & devastating climate + health impacts. EU must stay the course towards a #JustEnergyTransition

LNG unleashed isn’t working out as planned The White House has made it a priority to fast-track new liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects, but escalating trade wars, energy security concerns and weakening demand mean not all is going to plan.

"As global trade & finance convulses & the world’s most powerful country ups the ante with its particular brand of fossil fuel diplomacy, there is a real risk that major #LNG importers are cowed into financing the next round of expansion... this should be resisted"

Solidarity with trans women after today’s Supreme Court ruling.

The rollback of LGBT rights — especially trans rights — is global, bankrolled by billionaires and the far-right.

Trans rights are human rights. We must defend the Equality Act and its protections for trans people.

It’s like Watergate, only in this version Nixon directly mails the tapes to Woodward and Bernstein

If the White House is insisting that there was no classified or secret information in the Signal chat, does that mean Jeffrey Goldberg can publish it all?

This aged badly

Shell plans more cuts to costs and spending but hands CEO bigger bonus Increase in pay package comes despite fall in profits and as oil company watered down pledge to cut emissions

The CEO of Shell, which stands accused of accelerating climate breakdown, was paid £8.6 million in 2024.

This was the same year that Shell dropped its emissions reductions plans.

I think that is obscene, if you do too please share.

It should be obvious by now that Netanyahu won't stop until every Palestinian in #Gaza (and perhaps the West Bank) has been murdered, maimed or expelled. He wants it all. Governments like ours should cut off all military equipment, diplomatic support and other relations until the genocide ends.

The Aurora Borealis and the Milky Way. Taken half way up Cairngorm mountain, which sounds impressive right? Until you realise that you can actually drive almost half way up. 😁

Goodnight #bluesky enjoy the rest of your day, evening, night and stay safe.

Do you enjoy working with grassroots & NGO movements?
Do you thrive in a small team?
Are you willing to put your strategic campaign thinking into a vibrant movement?

APPLY!!

So its only MARCH and this administration has. 1. Had multiple plane accidents. 2. Measle outbreaks. 3. Redacted Epstein records. 4. Attempt to deport ACTUAL citizens to include NATIVE Americans. AND began the worse economic COLLAPSE in many years. So are you..........

Don’t worry, we got it covered! I saw this last week 🤣

End of 🧵. Successful demonstration, marked by the new right-wing 🇧🇪 government and the geopolitical turbulence, in the warmest #8thMarch ever registered in Belgium. #Brussels #Bruxelles #8Mars #InternationalWomensDay.

These are bringing me endless joy, thank you #brussels.

How much longer will the good times roll for fossil fuel companies? New study claims that asset writedowns could reach $2.3tn

I suppose the glib response to this would be:

Until someone stops them.

But then you drill into it, and the trillions taxpayers are on the hook for, and the answer might easily be:

Whenever investors realise they're losing money

Im sorry

Its has come to my attention that I have been lax on saying FUCK ELON.

I do apologize.

So

FUCK ELON

Please forgive me
