Today saw a landmark announcement from the UK Govt that it will end exploration for new oil & gas fields. 🛢️

People power has forced them to make this happen and it makes clear that we are on the path to ending fossil fuels. ✊

"The fact that the Scottish Government has still not vocally opposed Rosebank shows it is not treating the climate crisis with the seriousness it deserves."

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a greenwashing lie and lobbyists are using it to delay the inevitable move away from fossil fuels.

With more CCS lobbyists at #COP30 than any other single nation, except the host country, Brazil - we need to kick polluters out of climate talks for good.
📣 BREAKING

At least 531 lobbyists for groups that advocate for a misguided technology that prolongs #FossilFuel use (aka Carbon Capture & Storage #CCS) have gained access to the #COP30 climate talks.

We proved that the energy and enthusiasm to make transformative change happen is there.

We know that the challenges we face, from Glasgow to the Amazon to Palestine, are all deeply connected.
