This citizens arrest is hot on the heels of reports that Thames Water increased its raw sewage discharges by 50% in 2024 from already sky-high 2023 levels. There is surely a case to answer here. #CitizensArrest www.citizensarrestnetwork.org/news/2025/03... www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Badenoch’s anti-science rejection of Net Zero is a shameless move to stoke culture wars. 1️⃣ The Climate Change Committee has shown that investing in Net Zero will generate UK annual savings of almost £40bn every year by 2050, delivering lasting prosperity. Other experts agree—here are just some: 🧵

@edmilibandmp.bsky.social Here's (just 1 reason) why we need the government to make good on its promise to include the #CANBill provisions in its own legislation. We're breaching temperature rises sooner than we thought. Only the insane don't change their plans in response to new information.

Soaring global demand for 'renewable' timber biomass will require a 13-fold increase in tropical monoculture plantations, mostly at the expense of REAL, natural forest ecosystems. Ponder the depths of madness required to think this could be a solution to anything. news.mongabay.com/2025/03/fore...

This is economically illiterate. There’s clear evidence that clean energy will deliver big savings. But the big energy companies are uninterested because you can charge much higher prices for monopolistic gas. We need more state investment to access those returns www.ft.com/content/8379...

This week's impressive Climate Change Committee report makes a rock solid case for net zero. BUT it recommends a major program of new fossil fuel infrastructure—giving Big Oil exactly what it wants. Why that’s a bad mistake, and what the alternative is. 🧵

Carbon Capture doesn't do what it says on the tin when its input is a fossil fuel. It actually emits CO2 from the fossil fuels. CCS is a particularly virulent and nasty greenwash. #BlueHydrogenIsntGreen @hynotnw.bsky.social

Why does a company that made more than £1 bn in profits this year and last need any subsidies from us? @edmilibandmp.bsky.social We're not paying for climate services are we? (however tenuous that description may be). We're funding dividends. And we need to stop. #AxeDrax

Fossil fuel orgs are using the courts to bankrupt climate protesters with legal fees (even if you win the case you pay legal costs in the US). Shell tried it with Greenpeace UK too, but public opinion forced them to settle instead. Help do the same in the US. www.greenpeace.org/internationa...

Frightening how much methane leaks (spews?) from production sites. This is over and above what’s burnt in visible flares. Embarrassing that so much potential profit is frittered away, surely?
