Fish and Chips? Not for much longer. It’s getting too hot for potatoes to grow and there’s less fish in the sea. 🐟 🥔 #LoveAndRage❤️✊🏽 #London 12-14th September #NoFoodNoFuture What will you do as the world burns down?
Golman Prize Winner, Sarah Finch supported the protest saying: "Insurers like Howden know the risks associated with burning oil and gas better than anyone. So why are they still underwriting new fossil fuel projects? This is literally driving the climate crisis." 5/5
The protest was endorsed by renowned environmentalist Jonathon Porritt : “The insurance industry stands at a crossroads: it could become by far the most influential driver of change within the global financial system... The lack of leadership in the insurance industry is despicable..." 4/5
"Howden sponsoring a climate science conference is madness. 1,300 people died in Europe during last week's heatwave, it's clear the urgency & severity of the climate crisis is only accelerating. We must shut out dirty money & take rapid climate action now." J. Parker, Climate science student 3/5
Howden Insurance has been repeatedly targeted by #ExtinctionRebellion for enabling climate-wrecking fossil fuel projects. Staff and students came together to call out the University's management corruption of climate science and education and to demand urgent action on the climate crisis. 2/5
Extinction Rebellion activists disrupted the UK's largest climate science conference, the Exeter Climate Forum held at #ExeterUniversity after it was revealed they'd accepted sponsorship from #Howden an insurance company profiting from #ClimateChaos 1/5
Bit hot innit? The Times printed a very short article on total climate catastrophe.

The Coral Triangle one of the World’s great natural wonders, the epicentre of global marine biodiversity, is threatened by plans for new LNG projects and climate breakdown. Yet without insurance those projects cannot go ahead! #SaveTheCoralTriangle #InsureOurFuture #samasama #EndFossilFuels 1/3 🐠

#XRUK marched with the Together Alliance against the far right who want to divide us to cause division and hate - we’re teachers, firefighters, care workers, cleaners, midwives, engineers, climate activists and more! and we ain’t having it. @togetheralliance.bsky.social
Climate breakdown thrives in fear and distraction. This crisis is no accident. It’s the result of a system that puts billionaire profit before people and planet. XRUK stand in solidarity with the Together Alliance for a safe, fair and liveable future for all. @togetheralliance.bsky.social
Extinction Rebellion choose to work together with likeminded people and groups, together we can build a better future. The far right wants to divide us, blaming migrants and attacking climate action while protecting polluters and the super-rich @togetheralliance.bsky.social #ABetterWorldIsPossible
