Boris Johnson is back off his holiday. A holiday he's been taking while Parliament has been sitting. So he's been getting paid his MP's salary for representing his constituents while lounging on a beach? And this man has the audacity to pretend he's on your side...

Even if it wasn't a bad idea, even if it wasn't a fossil fuel, there is no proof fracking would work. Poland was recognised as the place in Europe most likely to succeed in fracking, but all the big companies have pulled out. Bad Idea.
I've just signed the petition to BAN FRACKING FOR GOOD - Please share and sign - @UK_Nanas

It’s not so much a cost of living crisis as a result of greed crisis
If we put a 10% tax on wealth over £100m, we would raise £69 BILLION. That could be used to put an end to the cost of living crisis and ensure nobody is unable to heat their home or is living in hunger. It's not that the Tories can't do this. It's that they choose not to.

If only we could vote for SNP in Yorkshire. This is who we need as leader of the opposition.
It is vital we discuss the F word or we risk facing regret forever.

The fossil fuel industry is in the process of inconveniencing you about a billion times more than any climate activist

FUN FACT: Private aircraft emit more greenhouse gases than the country of Denmark. Anyone else think the lifestyles of the super rich are a threat to planet earth?

So true, it’s time we changed our tactics.
Scaring, guilting and/or shaming individuals is commonly perceived to be the most effective way to motivate them to engage in climate action here on Twitter. But as I explain here, such approaches backfire more often than they succeed.

Why is #DebtForClimate essential right now? @EstebanServat talked about this with @GeorgeMonbiot in his "Monbionsis" series.

Every fraction of a degree of global warming matters. Every day matters. Every #ClimateAction matters.

The only true path to energy security, stable power prices, prosperity & a livable planet lies in abandoning polluting fossil fuels - especially coal - and accelerating the renewables-based energy transition. Renewables are the peace plan of the 21st century.

🚨 Yesterday young creatives from @cleancreatives had a question for @Shell's brand CEO at the @FemaleQuotient #CannesLions2022 #equalitylounge: Why does Shell say they support women when their actions have destroyed so many women's lives? See his answer to @tolmeia 👇

Vaca Muerta, Argentina is the world’s 2nd largest non-conventional gas basin. It is a #carbonbomb capable of releasing a catastrophic 5.2 Gt CO2 So why is the #IMF pushing Argentina to scale up their fracking? #DebtForClimate 👇🏽 1/5

If we were throwing absolutely everything at decarbonisation I'd still be worried that we might not be quick enough. But we're not even trying
