Why's it so hard to tackle #climatebreakdown? Because the oil sector has made $3bn-a-day profits for 50 yrs. And with that money they've bought politicians, blocked legislation, funded climate denial & paid PR agencies to greenwash their image. That's why

The Govt keeps citing 200,000 UK oil and gas jobs to justify pumping more planet-heating fossil fuels. But that number is far higher than official ONS stats, nobody can verify it and it comes - you've guessed it - directly from the oil & gas lobby itself.

📢Our @AliceBHarrison says 'Oil giants are making off with the heist of the century, shoveling their shameful profits to shareholders instead of investing in clean energy.' In 2023, the hottest year on record, the Big Five oil giants made £100bn+ profits https://t.co/YCY9grV8dp

NEW: Analysis finds that 80% of UK oil and gas is exported. This directly contradicts @RishiSunak's claims that new fields like Rosebank will increase the UK’s energy security. This government is taking us for fools.

The oil industry is kicking off 2024 by spending millions to undermine global progress on the climate crisis. Far from being "part of the solution" as they claimed at COP28, they are aggressively working to prevent any transition away from fossil fuels.

Govt said #Rosebank oil field would cut energy bills - then Energy Sec admitted it wouldn't. Govt said it would boost energy security - now Minister admits vast majority of oil won't be used here. So what is Rosebank for, other than climate destruction? https://t.co/wVgySmPT7q

Ministers have previously claimed oilfield development will improve domestic energy security and help consumers

BREAKING: The UK govt has finally admitted what we’ve been saying all along: developing the Rosebank oil field WON’T lower energy bills or increase our energy security. @RishiSunak’s shoddy excuse for approving Rosebank has been exposed as a LIE. #StopRosebank
