“By injecting a staggering $869bn into fossil fuel financing in 2024 alone, the world’s largest banks fund the climate chaos... Governments must step in & take urgent action to hold financial institutions accountable for their role in the #climatecrisis” - @davidxvx.bsky.social‬

Private equity celebrates UK govt capitulation. Chancellor promised to tax bosses share of profits as income, backtracks and will tax it as capital gains, at lower rates than wages. Govt cutting disability benefits Asset-stripping private equity behind closure of 60% of high street retailers.

I know there's a lot happening in the world right now, but I can't find any news reporting at all of this major new study published in Science. Where's the #climate coverage?! "We therefore need to cut GHG emissions even further to have a chance of keeping global warming below 2 degrees"

What we’re witnessing is the result of Israel acting with impunity. It is committing genocide in Gaza, ethnic cleansing in the West Bank & has bombed Lebanon, Syria, Yemen & Iran without any accountability. The UK must end ALL arms sales, sanction Israel & expel its ambassador.

🤬 " #Climate models that give a low warming from increases in greenhouse gases do not match satellite measurements. Future warming will likely be worse than thought unless society acts, according to a new study published in Science." phys.org/news/2025-06...

Caroline Rance, head of campaigns at Friends of the Earth Scotland, said: "This is an enormous handout of supposedly scarce public money that will only directly benefit greedy oil and gas companies. www.bbc.co.uk/newsl/articl...

As climate scientists, we can only tell you why climate change is happening and how severe the consequences will be. It takes voters to choose politicians who will listen and enact policies to avoid the worst possible outcomes.

I find it strange that this article doesn't mention the scam and subsidy to the fossil fuels industry that is carbon capture and storage. That would be at odds with their positive headline, but it is very misleading. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The Scottish Government now doesn't have a Climate Minister. John Swinney has removed 'climate' and 'just transition' from Ministerial titles since he became First Minister a year ago. His Gov't has also scrapped annual targets & ditched key climate policies - making clear his priorities.

Chancellor talks about energy security but yet again - just another way of funding private capital. What about investing in renewables & nationalising our energy companies? What about energy efficiency & prioritising insulating homes of poorest households? Bring bills down. #SpendingReview

🚨Carbon capture is a greenwashing scam. 💸With this funding, the UK Government would be propping up the same fossil fuel industry that has been ripping us off for years. 📉The Acorn Project is a polluters pipe dream that will never live up to the hype. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Proud to stand with so many fellow Jewish people against the genocide. End arms sales. This is not complicity - this is active participation. With @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social

Western media rarely cares about the impact of climate change on the Global south. These are not numbers. They are humans with real stories. Climate change is killing us. We must stop oil from continuing the murders. #FossilFuels #ClimateChange www.bbc.com/news/article...

📢 Jessica Townsend from @mpwatch.bsky.social really nails #CCS ❌ FF industry makes out they are part of solution ❌ Govt touts this magical solution ❌Govt funds 💲billions💲 into false solutions 🤔 #MagicalSolutionsMaintainTheFiction ✅ #ThinkAgainEd ✅ Take action: scrapcc.org/CCS-ACTION-BS1 1/3

“We’re finding that the results of real field trials, replicated at scale, aren’t producing the results seen in movies. Many of the promises of regen agriculture have been overhyped." Grass-fed beef production emits more methane per cow and requires more land than more intensive 'factory farming'.
