📢 🚨New Report - How the UK oil and gas industry spent 15 years pushing for subsidies & incentives for Carbon Capture and Storage rather than regulatory accountability or science-based emissions reductions; maintaining a funding pipeline for a technology yet to deliver on its promises 👇
The UK Oil and Gas Industry's Advocacy on Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)
New analysis from InfluenceMap suggests that for more than 15 years, the oil and gas industry has systematically pushed the UK government to adopt a costly, emissions-intensive energy policy agenda de...

No Airport Expansion @noairportexp.bsky.social · 1d
Who's going to tell the aviation industry?

Claims we can expand aviation massively and still avoid climate breakdown are based on carbon offsetting.* Which as people have been pointing out for decades, doesn't work.

*CORSIA, the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation

In news that will surprise pretty much no one working on climate change, carbon offsets have deep-seated systemic problems and are not effective at cutting overall emissions.
Carbon offsets fail to cut global heating due to ‘intractable’ systemic problems, study says
Analysis of 25 years of evidence shows most schemes are poor quality and fail to lower emissions

Global Campaign to Demand Climate Justice (DCJ) @gcdcj.bsky.social · 1d

The Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage (FRLD) was a big win for the Global South at climate negotiations.

But promised funding would cover just 1% of the damages of a major disaster like the 2022 Pakistan floods.

And less than 2% of the profits of one single oil company (Shell).
#FillTheFund

Fill The Fund @fillthefund.bsky.social · 1d
$1.2 TRILLION for military budget, only $348M for Loss & Damage? This is the theft of climate justice. Loss & Damage exists because of decades of inaction by the richest govts.

We fought for the FRLD. We won’t let it be an empty promise. Global North #PayUp & #FillTheFund now!

Reportedly, Starmer's aides told him not to attend COP30 because Reform UK might criticise him (seriously!)

Tell your MP to join those who have already urged the PM to show leadership and attend the crucial climate summit.

Looking for just one Conservative MP willing to say 'this is a mistake' and demand that at the very least Badenoch comes forward with a vaguely credible alternative plan.

This article is an excellent explanation of why it's so important for Starmer to be at COP30.
