Climate change exacerbates already existing geographic and socioeconomic vulnerabilities - especially in low and middle-income countries, and especially for Women and LGBTQI+ people.

“It’s time to make oil giants pay up to repair the climate breakdown they’re driving. Think how many fire and flood defences we could build, or how many solar panels we could install, if big oil paid their fair share in taxes.” www.theguardian.com/business/ng-...

Fossil Hydrogen with Carbon Capture is a Fossil Fairytale that the Gas Industry tells gullible people like @groningermuseum.bsky.social The reason theres so little CCS is because it's wildly expensive. They've been trying for decades, it doesn't scale. www.carbonbrief.org/qa-does-the-...
There's been growing recognition, in recent years, of the mental health benefits of spending time in nature But I'm not sure it's quite the same when all you can see are signs of nature dying
"The #climate we live in today is the least extreme climate you will experience in your lifetimes because of ongoing fossil fuel emissions."
Ed Hawkins@edhawkins.org · 5d agoThe missing words in the climate conversation are not human-caused climate change, but fossil fuel emissions. By Hayley Fowler and myself: theconversation.com/was-this-hea...
As climate breakdown accelerates we see the usual suspects supercharging their fascist rhetoric with divide and conquer tactics. We abhor any attempt to marginalise vulnerable groups, who always suffer first and worst when systems collapse. #StandTogether 4 #GenderEquality & #HumanRights #Amnesty

Rahmstorf: “Some people think we can wait and, when it gets too bad, then we reduce emissions People don’t realise that we can’t make it get better again. We can only prevent it from getting much worse.”
Three firefighters died in Greece on Wednesday.
Climate change is the defining issue of our age. While nations search for complex technological solutions, one of the most effective climate solutions lies in empowering Indigenous people.
Indigenous women already have the climate solutions
Three emerging feminist leaders have a vision for real climate action — and it starts with centering the voices of youth, women and Indigenous people.

We're approaching the point where humanity will be unable to arrest the severity of the earth's response to our catastrophic levels of fossil fuel pollution. Yet still some cultural institutions continue to accept sponsorship in exchange for sanitising the image of the industry. It's simply immoral.
Europe is engulfed by apocalyptic wildfires, communities in Asia reel from devastating floods, the UK battles through drought and more dangerous heat - These aren’t anomalies, they’re the defining story of the fossil fuel age. Shell takes the profits, the rest of us pick up the catastrophic bill.
Shell’s profits more than double after jump in oil and gas prices

Climate Injustice IS Gender Injustice. Marginalised communities will always suffer first and worst in extreme weather events.
LGBTQ+ Leaders Are Fighting for Recognition in Climate Policy
LGBTQ+ groups in the United States and elsewhere are seeking to bring queer voices to the table at COP31 and beyond.

The cynical act of @groningermuseum.bsky.social boosting their fossil sponsor's Artwash narrative as Europe burns, is morally bankrupt. FYI: Fossil Hydrogen is a False Solution, and anyone who does their homework will realise as much. #FossilHydrogenFakeSolution #EndFossilSponsorship
Parents For Future #EndFossilFuels 🪧🛢️❌@parentsforfuture.de · 2w agoSomehow we need to monetise this - and quickly
Holiday in the climate emergency. No that’s not AI or edited, just a snapshot I just took with my phone on Lacanau beach in France. What future will this boy grow up in? It is in our hands, but time is running out.
At this point, the question is: what are we protecting? Fossil fuel assets or the rest of the world’s infrastructure?
Damian Carrington@dpcarrington.bsky.social · 2w agoClimate change keeps adding to the list of uninsurable assets, Allianz executive says - “Certain locations and perils cannot be covered as we would wish them to be covered" #climatecrisis www.latimes.com/environment/...
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is delay and distract strategy from the gas industry. Particularly around the false solution of so called "low carbon" blue hydrogen. Important investigative research has laid the facts bare. Great work from ProPublica and Drilled. Carbon Captured - Beyond Denial.
How BP Execs Influenced a Climate Study That Shaped a Generation of Global Policy
BP sponsored an elite Princeton research center to address the climate problem without getting off fossil fuels. Its key work, a paper known as “Wedges,” guided climate discourse for a generation.

As temperature records tumble across the EU, the Groninger Museum is still boosting its fossil sponsor artwash: claiming these gas companies care about climate because they’re building a hydrogen network. Reality: MOST of that H2 will be fossil based = a climate impact even worse than fossil gas..

Wow, almost 1C hotter than prior El Niños 😵😣 Bracing for more heatwaves on land and sea, fires, coral reef bleaching, and flash floods to come. Resilience and adaptive capacity will be severely strained.
Zeke Hausfather@zekehausfather.com · 3w agoWith all the July model runs now in, it is very likely that 2026 will see the largest El Niño event since records began in the late 1800s – and potentially by a truly mind-blowing margin. The median estimate is now 3.6C, roughly 0.8C hotter than the prior record (2.75C). www.theclimatebrink....
Are you feeling the heat yet? It's the sensation that makes your world view collapse. We hope the Groninger Museum feels the heat and its own responsibility to stop selling out to fossil gas, so that it can become a space where we imagine shared just futures.
'This is harming people here and now': Campaigners demand ambitious response to worsening heatwaves. Coalition including End Fuel Poverty Coalition, Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace UK, and WWF warns ministers the UK is 'built for a climate that no longer exists'.
Europe recorded 10,000 excess deaths during late-June heatwave, data show
Scientists have said the late-June heatwave would have been "virtually impossible" without human-caused climate change, which is making heatwaves more frequent and intense.

Most governments find the loss of entire world regions to uninhabitable climate scenarios, and the untold suffering of humans and animals easier to imagine than the transition away from oil and gas. Let us make no mistake: the climate crisis is also a crisis of the imagination.
The critical thing to understand about this air conditioning debate is that fossil fuel companies should be held accountable for destroying the planet.
The most severe weather alert ever for excessive heat was issued in the Netherlands today. The fossil fuel industry is the cause. Museums around the country opened as cooling centres to the public. What is the Groninger museum doing? Continuing to Artwash fossil criminals, Gasunie and GasTerra.
Europe's worst heatwave so far, in terms of heat stress measures and temperatures - brought to you by fossil fuels. New @wwattribution.bsky.social study showing how such deadly heat became possible in only a few decades. www.worldweatherattribution.org/fossil-fuel-...
The most severe weather alert ever for excessive heat was issued in the Netherlands today. The fossil fuel industry is responsible. Any institution or politician accepting their money, and by doing so legitimising their continued existence, is complicit. #EndTheFossilFuelAgeNow

In 2014, a French television channel broadcast fictional weather reports envisioning temperatures in 2050. Intended as a distant warning about the escalating threat of climate change, we are already surpassing those temperatures. 24 years ahead of schedule. #EndTheFossilFuelAgeNow
