As @deustchbank profits from climate change @FriezeArtFair benefits from their #greenwash sponsorship @TheGarrard @campaigncc @XRLondon @NoBPFundingScot @Sagourot @divestlondon @Climate_Games @WinterOakPress @cskspeaks @misiss25 @Amelia_Womack @Petercoville @indyrikki
Manchester City Council has just declared #ClimateEmergencyMCR. Taking action on our heat leaking buildings is now essential. It's a big job with the need for 1.5 homes to be retrofitted every minute. Every second counts.@evefrancisholt @AnnetteWright @ExtinctionR @MENnewsdesk

Very clear message from @KevinClimate on climate impact of flying on #r4today this morning. Presenter clearly very surprised to hear he last flew in 2004, but vital those involved in tackling climate change demonstrate what is needed and what is possible.

“Some basic due diligence would have revealed the controversy over Souter’s anti-LGBT views. This is another sign that cultural organizations can take a bold ethical stance when they choose to.” #turnerprize #stagecoach nytimes.com/2019/05/03/arts/…

The Shell-sponsored 'Electricity: The Spark of Life' exhibition ends this coming Saturday, will @sim_manchester now commit to implementing its own ethical sponsorship policy and abandon future big oil company sponsorship? #extinctionrebellion @XR_MCR scienceandindustrymuseum.org…

#Shell exposed in two reports today: 📢all its investments are incompatible with limiting warming to 1.5°C. 📢does not pay its fair share of taxes. Strong political action needed! #taxjustice #climatechange 👉globalwitness.org/en/blog/bi… 👉somo.nl/shells-tax-privilege…

Oil companies are facing huge threats to their profitability from climate change policy Carbon capture and storage MIGHT help them eke out their business model But they want taxpayers to pay for it. Yes, really thetimes.co.uk/edition/busin…

This is the moment an environmental lawyer glues herself to the street outside the Shell building in London. Farhana Yamin helped negotiate the Paris Climate Agreement, but now her husband and son explain what pushed her to civil disobedience in the fight against climate change.

Many people have responded to the #ExtinctionRebellion protests in London by saying "but what about China". So I made this new animation showing cumulative CO2 emissions since 1750. As of 2019, the UK remains the world's fifth largest contributor to warming CO2. Yep.
Animation: The countries with the largest cumulative CO2 emissions since 1750 Ranking as of the start of 2019: 1) US – 397GtCO2 2) CN – 214Gt 3) fmr USSR – 180 4) DE – 90 5) UK – 77 6) JP – 58 7) IN – 51 8) FR – 37 9) CA – 32 10) PL – 27

BREAKING: Westminster leaders committed to attending youth climate assemblies, stress testing their manifestos against the Paris Agreement and continuing meeting regularly and reasserted their commitment to votes at 16, and to support the UKs bid to host COP 26 #FridaysForFuture

Today @ActionAid_NL, @both_ends, @JMA, @waddentweets, @FossielvrijNL, @GreenpeaceNL are joining @milieudefensie´s climate court case against Shell as co-plaintiffs. Together we demand that Shell starts acting in line with a 1.5C scenario. #climatejustice #StopShell

I feel as though it's going to take a huge loss of human life from a single disaster event (as opposed to a huge loss of human life from the current, ongoing climate disaster event) for major corps to act at a reasonable speed. Or @elonmusk will save the day with some mad tech.
As featured on @BBCr4today this morning, funding arts organisations under the spotlight again - how do the ethics of a sponsor reflect on the institution? Same is true for the @ShellOutOfSci campaign against fossil fuel funding of @sim_manchester theguardian.com/us-news/2019…
This #FuelPovertyAwarenessDay we've released a video showcasing an initiative to bring together residents, handy people, and energy experts to find community solutions to tackling fuel poverty. #WarmSafeHomes carbon.coop/2019/02/new-vide… @FielderCeo @NEA_UKCharity
