Stop Climate Chaos Scotland

🚌 🚍 One of our campaign asks - achieved! ✅️ At least on paper. Well done @snp.org for going 1 step further than UK Gov. Now we need support for local/regional public *ownership* within a franchised system under public control. @betterbusesspt.bsky.social @foescot.bsky.social @povertyalliance.org

SCCS helped out at the #OurPower stall at @snp.org conference. 10 MSPs (inc 2 Ministers) signed our pledge yesterday to create a fairer energy system with more community and public ownership. 👐 Hoping Energy Minister @stephengethins.bsky.social will add his signature today!

Make sure your voice is heard on the 14th of November! #stopAIdatacentres #scotland #stopclimatechaos

In the wake of recent developments on Hyperscale AI data centre policy, we've written to Minister Hannah Mary Goodlad calling for a national conversation. Read our message: www.stopclimatechaos.scot/wp-content/u... @aprscotland.bsky.social @foescot.bsky.social @globaljusticenow.bsky.social

Thanks @scotrewilding.bsky.social for organising this demo, it was good to take part and call for a fund for #ClimateShocks.

Stop Climate Chaos Scotland will be joining! 🙌 #climateshocks #adaptation #climateaction|

The UK Government recognises that climate change is a national security threat. They are putting £330m more towards solutions. But they also need to stop contributing to the problem. That means ruling out new oil and gas and maintaining EV targets, at the very least. @heidialexander.bsky.social

'Parliament votes to pause hyperscale data centre applications until guidance is in place AND all are to be required to do Environmental Impact Assessments.' A huge step in the right direction 🙌 Read more on @aprscotland.bsky.social's full press release: aprs.scot/press-releas...

SCCS Chair Mike Robinson spoke to the Scottish Parliament today about the Rural Support Plan, and how it's not delivering for climate, nor for the farmers and crofters who need support to become more resilient to droughts, floods, and other impacts of climate change. #stopclimatechaos #agriculture

Tomorrow, Wed 16th September, MSPs will finally vote on a moratorium on hyperscale AI data centres. Email your MSPs through the @foescot.bsky.social page below to tell them that this moratorium can't come soon enough! #datacentres #climatechange #scotland act.foe.scot/data-centre-...

Great turnout to demand better buses at the Scottish Parliament today! 🚌 Thanks to passengers who came from across Scotland & to MSPs who joined the rally. 🪧 The time has come to put public transport back in public hands! 🤝 @getglasgowmoving.org @sccscot.bsky.social @betterbusesspt.bsky.social

Better Buses now: Passengers united at the Scottish parliament yesterday to demand a “better buses bill” from Scotland’s Transport Minister Stephen Flynn and MSPs. With @sccscot.bsky.social @povertyalliance.org @foescot.bsky.social

We're calling on the Scottish Government to bring forward their promises for #betterbuses! Yesterday, protesters took to the streets outside Holyrood to demand better buses across Scotland. Here's how it went 👇 www.stopclimatechaos.scot/get-on-board...

A relief to see that ‘tackling the climate emergency’ is still one of @scottishgov.bsky.social's top four priorities, but detail is thin They nodded at: - #WarmHomes - #BetterBuses - #CommunityEnergy - #PrivateJetTax But this is just the tip of the iceberg... www.gov.scot/publications...

How can we cope with the coming longer and colder nights without locking ourselves into yet more years of reliance on volatile and polluting fossil fuels the planet can't afford us to burn? @existinghomes.bsky.social has some important suggestions for the Scottish Government:

Thanks for reading our thread today! Here's our blog about why Scottish Government should prioritise improving ordinary people's lives while tackling the climate crisis: www.stopclimatechaos.scot/programme-fo... We hope to see some of these proposals in their 5 year plan very soon. 🤞

“The devastating effects of climate breakdown are being seen – and felt – everywhere we turn” Climate of the 20th century has “gone”, Met Office says. The Scottish Government must urgently bring in measures that will slash emissions and improve lives www.stopclimatechaos.scot/burning-foss...
