🛢️ Fossil fuel lobbying at conferences like this is functionally exterminating the truth. Rapidly switching to sustainable fuel sources is in everyone's interest, and supporting communities affected locally and abroad must be prioritised.

📢 JOIN US. End fossil fuel lobbying. Build people power.

In January XR Scotland members joined a thousand peaceful protesters outside London's Royal Courts of Justice. The demonstration supported 16 Just Stop Oil activists appealing their combined 41-year sentences for non-violent climate protests. Our appearance coincided with their 2 day appeal ✊🏻

They raise their fists in the air while photographers and journalists capture the scene. Police officers stand in the background near the court’s grand Gothic-style entrance. Three protesters stand outside, dressed warmly. Two are wearing white lab coats with climate-related messages: one coat reads “Science says new oil & gas = death.” The person in the center holds a green T-shirt with the words “My friend is in prison for protecting our future.” Another holds a sign with photos of jailed activists, titled "Truth Tellers Jailed!" The background features trees and a historic building.

During our airport protests @chrisgpackham.bsky.social called out billionaire Anders Holch Povlse, Scotland’s largest landowner, who backs rewilding yet profits from private jets. As Dr. Sarah Birkby says, “The time when people, no matter how rich, could say 1 thing & do the exact opposite is over.”

Extinction Rebellion Scotland & Scientist Rebellion Denmark protest at Inverness & Billund airports, calling out billionaire Anders Povlsen for owning Blackbird Air, a luxury private jet firm, while claiming to fight for nature. Private jets fuel climate chaos—time to invest in clean transport!
Three protesters in elaborate black bird costumes with yellow beaks hold signs that read "BAN PRIVATE JETS" in front of a building with a larger banner behind them, also with the words "BAN PRIVATE JETS". Other protesters and a person in a hat are visible in the background. A group of climate activists protest outside an airport terminal, holding banners and flags. One large white banner reads "BLACKBIRD NAEMAIR" with blackbird illustrations, while another yellow and black striped banner says "BAN PRIVATE JETS" with Extinction Rebellion symbols. Protesters wear high-visibility vests, and some wave flags featuring the Extinction Rebellion logo. The setting appears to be the entrance of a private jet terminal, with glass doors and signage visible in the background. A protest sign reads "PRIVATE JETS FLYING IN THE FACE OF CLIMATE SCIENCE" on the left, and "PRIVATE JETS A CLIMATE COST WE CANNOT AFFORD" on the right. The signs are white with black lettering. The image is a medium shot, showing people holding the signs from approximately waist level.
