Tell Rachel Reeves: don’t put plane profits before planet

Chancellor Rachel Reeves has backed airport expansion while we're in a climate emergency. Expanding airports like Heathrow, Luton and Gatwick won’t do much, if anything, for the communities that need growth the most. Instead, benefits will be enjoyed by shareholders and the wealthiest few who fly frequently. Airport expansions mean more subsidies for a heavily polluting industry - when we desperately need to be doing all we can to reduce emissions.

The National Emergency Briefing on Thursday has so far had very limited mainstream media coverage. We can fix that.

BREAKING🚨: Equinor has resubmitted its application to open the biggest undeveloped oil field in the UK - Rosebank.

In the next weeks, the UK gov will decide to reject or approve this disaster project.

Equinor hasn’t given up, and neither will we. We’re stepping things up.

The enormous Rosebank oil field is not compatible with a safe climate. https://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2025/jun/new-oil-and-gas-fields-incompatible-paris-climate-goals

New oil and gas fields incompatible with Paris climate goals

Opening any new North Sea oil and gas fields is incompatible with achieving the Paris Climate Agreement goals of limiting warming to 1.5°C or holding warming to “well below 2°C” relative to preindustrial levels, finds a new report published by UCL academics.

#The89Percent want more #ClimateAction, yet currently our representatives are more likely to be swayed by corporate misinformation than hear from experts.

Chris Packham's petition to ban fossil fuel advertising and sponsorship currently has 55,000 signatures. At 100,000 it gets a debate in the UK Parliament.

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/700024

Please forward to all your UK media to help it over the line. Merely considering signing reduces the social licence to damage nature irrevocably!

Petition: Ban fossil fuel advertising and sponsorship

Advertisements encourage the use of products and sponsorship promotes a positive reputation & creates a social licence of trust & acceptability. In 2003 a ban on all tobacco advertising was introduced and has arguably worked. I believe continued fossil fuel usage will kill more people than smoking.

Why has @dalevince spent a week lying about heat pumps?

He wants to make money from you. It wont work, it’s a silly idea, and his arguments are bad, but that won't stop people believing him.

Why is Dale Vince Lying About Heat Pumps?

Dale Vince has been lying about heat pumps for days so he can sell more vegan gas. WTF does that even mean?

"The reality of the climate emergency is being exploited by an industry which can promise to insulate your home in an afternoon with completely inert and manmade materials,” Sleeman says. “But being more considered opens up opportunities to do things communally, creating skills within communities.”

Succesful community retrofit schemes show the way forward.
