Botley West NIMBYs

We've been posting threads which look into the claims @stopbotleywest are making about the science - their 'Uncomfortable Truths'. This pinned thread provides links to them all for ease of access:

Opposing renewable energy infrastructure is part of WHO WE ARE and so calling us NIMBYs is hate speech and we are VERY CLEVER botleywestnimbys.com/learn-more/nim…

For anyone confused about the timeline of @stopbotleywest's large donation as discussed in @theleaduk article, it's perfectly simple: 1) @STARCSec receives an anonymous donation for a new venture called 'SolarQ UK' 2) He sends it to SBW to hold. SBW ask no Qs about provenance

Don't retweet climate change deniers challenge (Impossible)

God we love it when people share propaganda from climate change deniers. And our friends at @SavetheMoatSTS really love it when they get support from climate change deniers

We're so pleased that we've raised £100k from our wealthiest supporters: we were concerned that they might prioritise victims of war, famine or natural disasters, but it's so good of them to hand money straight to our hungry lawyers instead @TheOxfordMail oxfordmail.co.uk/news/24760878.…

Don’t know why people say that groups like us are knee deep in climate denier propaganda. Anyway, here’s a lovely well-liked post in the @CommunityPlann1 group, direct from a page called “Climate Con”. It’s just a coincidence that we’re all fighting on the same side

Our Chair is at #COP29 leading a group from @CommunityPlann1, all facing ugly renewable developments near their homes. Meeting later with the Pacific Islanders to show them photos of our lovely at-risk views - they’ll surely understand why we can’t rush! theguardian.com/world/2024/nov…

So what if the UN says that it's "essential to act now"? We can't just go round willy-nilly accepting renewable developments! We've got to be REAL picky about which emissions we reduce theguardian.com/environment/20…

We wholeheartedly support Scout Moor wind farm! Please ignore any local opposition, whose arguments on first inspection may be exactly the same as ours re views, local community not wanting it, massive size: we LOVE renewable energy installations as long as they're not near us!

So what if climate change is happening? After all, we're certainly not going to worry about it

But the big thing is that we know we're doing the right thing, fighting against the globalist establishment and the New World Order, with their 5G masts and their nefarious plans

Why do people call us NIMBYs and say we support climate change denial? Definitely can't be because of the things posted by our supporters! And in Anne Gwinnett's case, previous committee members who spoke on our behalf at public meetings!

As we celebrate receiving more than £60k of donations to help us slow down the fight against climate change, a handy reminder that when we previously received a large anonymous donation we didn't ask any awkward questions about provenance until a journalist got in touch

As we pretend to journos that we give a shit about climate change and definitely really support renewables elsewhere, please ignore that on our website one of our arguments against solar farms is that we might be too late anyway, so why should we try? stopbotleywest.com/uncomfortable-…

With the Botley West planning application due in today, it's going to be a busy day for our volunteers! Fighting the renewable energy transition and misleading people about the reality of the climate emergency is heavy work!

We love to back British farmers! Unless they’d like to put solar panels on their fields, in which case we’ll encourage our followers to harass them in a letter-writing campaign! #backfarmers

Remember, @stopbotleywest aren't climate change deniers, they just promote people who think that seeking to prevent it through reaching Net Zero and reducing emissions is a scam. It's such a good thing we have loads of time to act and wait for perfect options to appear 😇
