Why's it so hard to tackle #climatebreakdown? Because the oil sector has made $3bn-a-day profits for 50 yrs. And with that money they've bought politicians, blocked legislation, funded climate denial & paid PR agencies to greenwash their image. That's why theguardian.com/environment/20…

🇺🇸Extreme heat is killing ordinary Americans. Now storm season threatens hundreds more Ordinary people shouldn't pay for disasters they couldn't prevent. But Big Oil should Write to your Senator and ask them to sign the Polluters Pay Climate Fund Act ⬇️ gwitness.org/4draRM3

🚨ONSHORE WIND INCOMING🚨 The new government has just confirmed they're unblocking new onshore wind projects in England TODAY🎉 This is a huge step forward for our climate, economy and energy bills. Huge shout out to everyone who's got involved with our campaign - we did it😁

🚨BREAKING: OIL AND GAS HEDGING BETS ON ELECTION OUTCOME… With @Global_Witness - and one or two familiar faces 😎

🚨 BREAKING: “JUST USE OIL” says leader of brand new OIL & GAS PARTY and calls for YOUR VOTE on 4th July 🛢️ @global_witness

This year's #COP29 climate talks will be in Azerbaijan, where Dr Gubad Ibadoghlu, critic of the fossil fuel industry, was imprisoned on fabricated charges & beaten by police His daughter @BayramovaZhala spoke to us at the Bonn climate talks #FreeGubad gwitness.org/4aXE8N5

As UN climate talks continue, we're putting the spotlight on #COP29 host Azerbaijan’s inhumane treatment of renowned economist & fossil fuel industry critic Gubad Ibadoghlu, who was severely beaten & imprisoned on fabricated charges last year.

BREAKING UAE oil company, @ADNOC, sought deals worth almost $100B in the year its CEO was president of COP28, 5 X more than in the previous year gwitness.org/3KstHq3

The Govt keeps citing 200,000 UK oil and gas jobs to justify pumping more planet-heating fossil fuels. But that number is far higher than official ONS stats, nobody can verify it and it comes - you've guessed it - directly from the oil & gas lobby itself. theguardian.com/environment/20…

This Valentine's Day, love is in the air for Shell...

📢Our @AliceBHarrison says 'Oil giants are making off with the heist of the century, shoveling their shameful profits to shareholders instead of investing in clean energy.' In 2023, the hottest year on record, the Big Five oil giants made £100bn+ profits mirror.co.uk/news/world-new…

NEW: Analysis finds that 80% of UK oil and gas is exported. This directly contradicts @RishiSunak's claims that new fields like Rosebank will increase the UK’s energy security. This government is taking us for fools.

The oil industry is kicking off 2024 by spending millions to undermine global progress on the climate crisis. Far from being "part of the solution" as they claimed at COP28, they are aggressively working to prevent any transition away from fossil fuels. theguardian.com/us-news/2024/j…

Is this a bad case of deja-vu? “We now have a former oil executive from an authoritarian petrostate in charge of the world’s response to the crisis that fossil fuel firms created,” our @AliceBHarrison on the appointment of the new #COP president. edie.net/cop29-azerbaij…

Govt said #Rosebank oil field would cut energy bills - then Energy Sec admitted it wouldn't. Govt said it would boost energy security - now Minister admits vast majority of oil won't be used here. So what is Rosebank for, other than climate destruction? theguardian.com/environment/20…

BREAKING: The UK govt has finally admitted what we’ve been saying all along: developing the Rosebank oil field WON’T lower energy bills or increase our energy security. @RishiSunak’s shoddy excuse for approving Rosebank has been exposed as a LIE. #StopRosebank

“I’m certain that in 100 years, when we’ve all been melted in our beds by climate change, we will realise that, far from being a status symbol, driving an SUV is an unconscionable act of ignorance.” standard.co.uk/comment/london…

Climate deniers be like…

Within days of fossil fuels taking centre stage at COP28, Uplift & Greenpeace have today filed separate legal challenges against the UK government's disastrous decision to approve the Rosebank oil field. 🧵 on the many reasons Uplift think it's unlawful: thetimes.co.uk/article/climat…

New findings from my @Global_Witness colleagues shows the UAE government has invited to #COP28 CEOs of fossil fuel firms that plan to invest nearly $800 billion in oil and gas production by 2030. globalwitness.org/en/press-relea…
