These are the very people who decide whether we avert climate catastrophe or keep throwing fuel on the crisis and let millions of people die. (pt. 2 in thread)

Rich countries like Norway need to take their fair share of responsibility for the climate crisis and use their wealth to support a fair & fast transition to renewables.
Instead, they’re expanding fossil fuels across the world, at the expense of those already most marginalised.

This is one of the most touching messages I have ever read. 🥺❤️
James Brown is currently in prison for taking action against the climate crisis. Please write to him: prisoner solidarity is so important. We cannot leave behind those who have been taken by the state.

I simply don't care. There is no justifying the presence of fossil fuel companies in queer spaces. This is not pride.
1. Terminate ExxonMobil's sponsorship if legally possible and tell them why
2. Publicly apologise
3. Never bring fossil fuels into the queer community again👍
@sunfloweryell0w
@exxonmobil
@drop_BP
As we have said repeatedly this sponsorship is with there LGBT staff network, as a free event to all we rely in sponsorship to make the event possible, in the most financially difficult year ever, options are limited. We review all sponsors yearly.

This sends completely the wrong signal,

The
@IEA
set out a robust pathway which shows we can use the reserves in existing fossil fuel projects to take us to net zero. Really unhelpful and incorrect statement.

The police just tried to move through the protesters at Kenmure Street to the immigration van. Due to a protester alerting everyone via a megaphone, the crowd were ready to push back and successfully forced the police to retreat.

Footage from a train station just outside Glasgow, Scotland this morning. Severe weather warnings across the country, most train lines north of Carlisle currently flooded.
This is climate chaos.

Honestly how is he still going with these tweets?
I’m not even gonna bother debunking - we all know this is complete nonsense.
Just Stop Oil are trying to hold Britain hostage - who do you trust to stand up for you?
Labour - when Ed Miliband wants criminal tactics ‘sustained and deepened’.
Or the
@Conservatives
- who have given the police the powers they need to stop them.

Make 2022 the year that you commit to taking climate action. We are in extreme danger, and it is up to the people to rise up for our lives.
The responsibility is falling on too few people. We are burnt out, and we need your help.
Don’t just watch us, join us.

Here’s some maths for you Rishi:
new oil fields = exceeding 1.5°c of global heating.
exceeding 1.5°C = climate breakdown
#StopRosebank
Maths is as important to the creative sector as it is to finance. Watch LIVE my vision for Maths to 18.

If you still think racism doesn’t exist in climate spaces, look through the comments: dozens of white people coming for
@mikaelaloach
for even saying the word white. As if you know better about what is or isn’t “about whiteness”. This is not welcome in our movement 👋👋 goodbye
it's very exhausting to see white people write articles about how it's "too late" to stop climate breakdown - too late for who??? Every single fraction of a degree of warming we prevent is lives saved - especially in the Global South. It's never too late.

Scrapping the windfall tax would take the UK back to being one of the most profitable countries in the world for oil and gas companies.
This announcement puts the profiteering demands of fossil fuel companies over public interest. 🧵
