#Shell 's PR is full of lush forests & “nature based solutions.” Meanwhile they're busy destroying our planet alongside others in the fossil fuels industry. #ClimateAction #NetZero #ClimateLitigation #EndFossilFuels #EndPlasticPollution
A US oil company linked to Trump is preparing to sink oil wells in remote Greenland & has brought ashore kit to prep for drilling despite NOT HAVING PERMISSION from local authorities‼️ Greenland’s govt has issued “strong warning” that no approval has been granted. Trump's sinister social media post👇😡
Analysis of Shell’s oil spills found that in 1980s & early '90s, 40% of spills from global operations were in Nigeria. Internal documents show failure to properly maintain wells & pipelines by subsidiary, Shell Petroleum Development Company, which #Shell exempted from key health & safety standards
“Fossil fuels are fanning the flames of this crisis. Expansion must stop. More coal, #OilAndGas will lead to a more combustible future. Unless we act, to protect people & tackle the root cause of the crisis, the dangers will become deadlier still,” warns António Guterres, UN Secretary General
Right wing, pro-fossil fuels media has been particularly virulent in attacking Ed Miliband & #NetZero targets.“It’s no surprise that an agenda which challenges the profits of big oil has made him the target of coordinated smears by the industry & its allies," Ami McCarthy @greenpeaceuk.bsky.social
Study finds Germany's largest tabloid, BILD, politicized & polarized debate on Buildings Energy Act reform, fuelling abandonment of 65% renewable energy obligation, canceling of building efficiency standards, & u-turn on Germany's stance on Energy Performance of Buildings Directive EU negotiations
Fisherman Balafama Augustus Bruce, 64, describes devastation caused by Shell oil in Nigeria. The river used to be beautiful & people played & fished there. "But because of the damage [the spills] have caused, nobody is fishing here again. Because of that I've become poor. I eat from hand to mouth,"

Helpful explainer by @samalvis.bsky.social on why North Sea wont solve UK energy needs. Dwindling #OilAndGas reserves means there isn't enough & UK will stay reliant on imports. Plus, its all privatised so fossil fuel companies will charge market rates & sell whatever is extracted to highest bidder
Between 39.7 & 46.4 billion euros per yr still goes to fossil subsidies instead of solving real problems... It is absurd that the Netherlands is organizing a conference together with Colombia on phasing out fossil fuels & at the same time provides billions of 💶 in subsidies to the fossil industry 👇
Milieudefensie (Friends of the Earth) has filed a 2nd climate case against Shell. The fossil fuels giant wants to produce & sell more gas & doesn't intend to reduce oil production & sale. This goes against 2024 ruling in The Hague that Shell has a duty to reduce its emissions & combat climate change
Pro-Orbán “propaganda mouthpiece” MCC was awarded £57m in dividends from Hungary’s state oil company MOL just before the election. MCC was previously gifted 10% stake in MOL by Orbán’s govt in 2020, worth over $1.3bn. MCC then used this 💵 to push Orbán’s ideas. MCC also has close links to Reform UK
Orbán's defeat is great news. He massively increased Hungary's dependence on Russian oil after Moscow's invasion of Ukraine. US gave Hungary exemptions from sanctions on Russian energy use, with JD Vance saying Western Europe should have followed Hungary’s policy of relying on Russian #OilAndGas
GB News has lost £100m since launching & now wants public funding. Co-owner Sir Paul Marshall manages a hedge fund with £1.8bn of fossil fuel investments in 2023. GB News platforms climate change disinformation, with @desmog.com tracking 953 anti-climate attacks broadcast around the 2024 UK election
Right‑wing populists like Farage & Trump take huge donations🤑 from the fossil fuels industry & work for their paymasters. Truth is transition to green energy is a cost‑of‑living policy: ✅️cheaper renewables ✅️better home insulation ✅️energy security due to less exposure to volatile oil & gas prices
A billion reasons why we urgently need transition from #FossilFuels to renewable energy. Here's another one! Pay of #Shell Chief Exec Wael Sawan rose 60% to £13.8m in 2025 despite 22% drop in annual profits & 4 workers died in workplace accidents. Now Shell Board wants to raise max CEO pay by 50%🤑🤯
New @thecccuk.bsky.social report finds in all scenarios achieving #NetZero is more cost-effective for the UK economy than ongoing reliance on fossil fuels. Hitting UK net zero target by 2050 would be cheaper than a single oil crisis & would bring health, economic & security benefits #StraitOfHormuz
"apocalyptic” - residents in Tehran describe horrific impacts of US / Israel bombing of 4 oil depots & a petroleum logistics site in & around Iran's capital - sun blotted out, black gunk soot covering the city, toxic acid rain, polluted water, pain in their throat, burning eyes & shortness of breath
@andrewdessler.com on huge govt subsidies for #FossilFuels. US spends over $81bn every yr to protect oil supply🛢! Securing America’s Future Energy (SAFE) calculates about 1/5 of US Dept of Defense base budget exists at least partly to keep oil flowing via vulnerable choke points like #StraitOfHormuz
Great insights by @annpettifor.bsky.social on how the finance sector fuels the fossil fuel industry, causing huge harm. Economics fails to account for morality & this is a big problem. Talking to @adriennebuller.bsky.social on how the global financial system, left unregulated, is wrecking our lives
#ReformUK mayor Andrea Jenkyns courts Egdon Resources, UK #OilAndGas subsidiary of US fracker Heyco Energy, saying she is “very supportive of #fracking” & asking how she can help them. Jenkyns is a staunch critic of net zero & has lodged numerous objections to green energy projects like solar farms
6 medics unanimously acquitted of criminal damage at JP Morgan’s, the largest financier of #FossilFuels. Health workers have a duty "to protect population health & to sound the alarm when state or corporate actions place lives, health systems & the conditions for life at risk," @healthxr.bsky.social
Appalling illegal act by Trump to seize Venezuela’s oil. Rajan Menon, Prof of International Relations, outlines Trump's fictitious justifications, including false allegations #Venezuela “stole” oil & land belonging to US. The truth is the US has no legal claim to Venezuelan oil & Trump is a gangster
Any day now, Equinor is expected to reapply to develop Rosebank, the biggest undeveloped oil field in the UK. Rosebank would be a devastating accelerator of #ClimateCrisis & wont lower bills, save jobs or make UK energy supply more secure. Join Sept 6 for a national Day of Action to #StopRosebank 👇
🚨@witnessradio.bsky.social has tracked 56 cases of arrest, detention & prosecution of #StopEACOP #EndFossilFuels activists in Uganda in 2025. People have been "suppressed & weakened with torture, unlawful arrests, & prolonged detentions accompanied by unscrupulous charges." None have been convicted.
#AFIEGO report on appalling treatment of workers in Uganda's #FossilFuels industry, including those contacted by #TotalEnergies ❌️overwork ❌️sexual harassment ❌️unable to take time of ❌️unfair job loss ❌️lack of sick pay ❌️failure to support employees injured at work ❌️wages underpaid or not paid at all
Fingers crossed for the court case🤞. If Western Cape's High Court allows #TotalEnergies to conduct exploratory #OilAndGas drilling along South Africa's coast, it'll have devastating impacts on marine life, & ecological damage & harm to coastal communities will be even greater if there's an #OilSpill
Solidarity with brave #StopEACOP campaigners in #Uganda targeted with arbitrary arrest & jailing for peacefully calling for end to Total Energy's harmful East African Crude Oil Pipeline project & for banks to stop funding fossil fuels. Ugandan Govt must immediately & unconditionally release them all
