Glasgow University’s Ewan Gibbs tells St Andrews University’s Energy Café 3,000 jobs are at risk from the closure of the Grangemouth oil refinery and that it’s an object lesson in how not to handle a just transition @ewangibbs.bsky.social @energy-ethics.bsky.social @riyokoshibe.bsky.social

It’s unacceptable for Scottish Office minister Kirsty McNeill to claim the UK government has done ‘everything we can’ to save jobs at Grangemouth as the refinery faces closure in May, putting our energy security and thousands of jobs at risk. This is a major failure of government inaction 🧵

Sad to see the Coalition of Museums for Climate Justice (CMCJ) is on hiatus! This means Zannah Matson and I are looking for a new venue to publish our short article on countering mining hegemony through alternative pedagogies (which the CMCJ had previously shared as a blog post). Leads welcome! 🙏🏻
