Cross-party letter from @chrishinchliff.bsky.social and other MPs opposing Jackdaw and Rosebank. (sorry no alt text)

We are absolutely not ready for a world beyond 1.5°C Our cities and towns are not built for this. Olivia, Valencia: www.reuters.com/business/env...

NEW ANALYSIS: Expensive gas behind "nearly 90%" of rise in UK household electricity bills since 2020 + 77% of the rise in gas bills Contrary to what you've seen in media / political narratives, net-zero is "helping to shelter Britain from the impact of expensive gas", says @acjsissons.bsky.social

This is FIVE TIMES the size of the Rosebank oil field (which itself is much larger than Jackdaw). 😢

Flashback to just 15 months ago... Andy Burnham endorsing the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty www.carbonbrief.org/28-quotes-fr...

🚨BREAKING: Jackdaw has been APPROVED Emergency demo 📍 DESNZ, SW1A 2AW🕕 7.45 AM & 12PM, 21/10 Bring your anger. Bring your friends. Bring your voice. Climate destruction is here and yet today the UK gov have backed deathly fossil fuels. But there's still time to #StopRosebank

Jackdaw will directly create 27 new jobs. It will cut our dependence on gas imports by 2%. Join us 31 October to find out how our energy system could protect workers, lower bills, and NOT send us into climate disaster. actionnetwork.org/ticketed_eve... Workshops: www.cacctu.org.uk/conference_2...

The most important headline today on Jackdaw and Rosebank: UN confirms 'below 1.5C' is out of reach, and the world must cut carbon emissions by nearly a fifth in the next four years, to avoid catastrophe and a high risk of triggering climate tipping points.

Jackdaw "blow to climate campaigners", "will dismay environmental campaigners" Why do headline writers appear to think the only downside of destabilising our climate is that it will annoy 'campaigners'?

The government just approved the Jackdaw gas field. What you need to know: 1. In 2022 it was clear than ANY new oil and gas infrastructure (globally) was NOT compatible with staying below 1.5C 2. In 2026 we are going past 1.5C and into an unknown and very dangerous climate 3. This is NOT 'pragmatic'

Workshops on 31st October include 'Fighting Climate Denial and the Far Right' Find out about the global links of money and power with @writesbright.bsky.social And how we can fight back with Denis Fernando SUTR & Kate Anderson @tuc.org.uk Book your place now! actionnetwork.org/ticketed_eve...

Yesterday, we gathered on Westminster Bridge to send one clear message: end ISDS now. ISDS is a clause in trade deals that lets corporations sue governments over policies that threaten profits – even when they protect people and the planet. The UK must walk away from ISDS once and for all.

🚨 MANCHESTER WE’RE COMING! Join us on Saturday for the Northern Organise Together summit to debate, strategise and organise on how we stop the far right. There will be plenty of workshops and we’ll be joined by an amazing team of speakers! 🎫 bit.ly/togetherinma...

The new Climate Action Tracker update on Canada is alarming. What has shocked me the most and may come as a big surprise to many is the way in which Mark Carney has steadily dismantled Canada‘s Climate policies to the point where he’s heading towards Trump level rollbacks. lnkd.in/p/d2RVBBae

REMINDER: If govt cuts heat-pump grants, the UK will have to import a lot more gas In 2023, Energy UK said that'd cost an extra £3bn over 2026-2030, but gas prices today are roughly ~2x what they were at the time of the analysis…

A clear message from frontline workers to Andy Burnham: Reject Rosebank. Ten national trade unions signed an open letter with the same message.

It's worth adding that since 2020, the CCC published revised estimates of the cost of net-zero, which it now says would amount to £108bn over 25 years, or 0.2% of GDP This is mainly due to falling costs for EVs – more here: www.carbonbrief.org/...

It seems the original sin here was by David Turver, a retired engineer and self-described "accidental energy analyst", who made the £957bn claim in a 12 Jan article for the Spectator, previewing his 13 Jan report for rightwing thinktank the Institute of Economic Affairs

Tory maths fail when attacking net zero accidentally turns £458bn into £957bn. Oops. But there is a more deliberate dishonesty here, where all the costs of NOT taking climate action are ignored: higher household bills, health costs and spiralling climate breakdown.

El Niño: Ten Things You Need to Know Includes forecasts of floods & droughts, why this El Niño is a 'Godzilla', and why this is not a good time for another hit to global food security And why the biggest problem with El Niño is that we've already superheated the land & seas by burning fossil fuels

Protest in Matlock against the Reform-led Derbyshire county council removing all references to climate change and net zero from their "Environmental Strategy".

Important article on the risk of AMOC collapse. "The most important no-regret measure is also the only one scientists say can reduce the risk of the AMOC collapsing in the first place: cutting planet-warming emissions." More in our 2025 briefing here: www.campaigncc.org/amoc

As governments from around the world gather in Nadi, Fiji to prepare for COP31, the United Kingdom is inching closer to a monumental decision on the future of fossil fuels.

This summer started with an unprecedented heatwave in late May. It's almost October now, and last night temperatures over most of the UK were between 7C and 11C hotter than normal for the time of year. From istheukhotrightnow.com

People support clean energy but think others don't. People support clean air but think others don't. People support low traffic neighbourhoods but think others don't. And they think others don't because vested interests and right-wing media work hard to create that impression.

From 2011: "Faced with the combined threats of land subsidence and rising temperatures and sea levels, the World Bank has predicted that Bangkok’s flood risk will increase four-fold from now by 2050." #Bangkok #Thailand 🇹🇭 #ClimateEmergency

Reform UK's funding has made headlines this year. But its ties to the UAE have largely flown under the radar. Our new report maps how an oil-rich Gulf state with no elections has built links to Farage et al, and into the wider UK far right, including Tommy Robinson. fairsq.org/petropopulis...

This extreme El Niño will bring drought, wildfires & crop losses in some regions and more intense rains & flooding in others. El Niño is predicted to push about 50 million people into acute hunger and increase food prices. Simultaneously, global food production is being hit by high fertiliser costs

At least a dozen IPCC lead authors are employed by or linked to Saudi Aramco, Saudi institutions and other oil and gas interests The IPCC produces the scientific reports that underpin UN climate negotiations. Experts say its conflict of interest policy is ‘not fit for purpose’.

A temperature rise of 0.5C in the Pacific (above the 30 year rolling average) is the threshold for declaring an El Niño. Above 2C is a 'super' El Niño The 2026 temperature rise has reached 3.05C, the highest ever recorded, several months before its expected peak, which is predicted to be around 4C

I just think people who write about net zero should know what net zero is and what will happen if it is not reached. Yes, this is a sub post.

Almost 600 climate scientists, health professionals and conservationists call on Burnham to say no to the Rosebank oil field.

Ouch, that graph! The webinar is 5pm UK time, Thursday

This Saturday in Manchester! 🎟️ Last chance to get your ticket for #MakeGreenFair conference: www.ticketsource.com/fuel-poverty... 💚 Can't wait to see you there to discuss how to bring the benefits of the green transition to everyone, not just the already wealthy

Departing soon from Heathrow's new third runway: up to £62 billion net economic loss. Arriving soon: air pollution, heatwaves and climate breakdown. @wearepossible.bsky.social van was joined by the Landing Crew plus supportive MPs to bring the message to Andy Burnham!
