Make Polluters Pay
@makepolluterspay.bsky.social
The oil giants made billions wrecking our climate and driving up bills. It’s time they paid to fix it. We're holding them to account!
🚨 SHELL Q2 PROFITS JUST DROPPED: $9.84 BILLION IN JUST 3 MONTHS. 🚨 War & crisis in the Middle East = cash for Shell. While communities suffer record heatwaves, wildfires, and soaring fuel costs, Shell's earnings more than doubled year-over-year. 🧵👇 #MakePollutersPay #Shell
🚨 War drives up prices. Big Oil cashes in. People pay the bill. 🚨 TotalEnergies just reported $6B in adjusted net income & $9.8B in cash flow in 3 months, openly cashing in on the ongoing Iran conflict and a "high-price environment." 💰💥 #MakePollutersPay #TotalEnergies 🧵👇
Equinor’s Q2 profits just dropped. Norwegian oil giant Equinor generated $11.48 BILLION in adjusted operating income in just 90 days. Its net operating income surged 127% to $12.99 BILLION.While you pay the price for climate breakdown, Big Oil is cashing in on crisis. 🧵👇
While families struggle with soaring bills and record heatwaves, Big Oil is preparing to report another round of massive profits. Conflict shouldn’t create windfalls. They caused the crisis, they knew the harm, they must pay. @350.org @oxfamgb.bsky.social Tax the profits. #MakePollutersPay

"We can finally turn the page on fossil fuels & write a future powered by renewables & rooted in climate justice." UN Chief @antonioguterres.bsky.social lays it bare: our dependence on fossil fuels is the "worst of times." We demand a fair, well-funded transition. Time to #MakePollutersPay. 🧵👇

War. Crisis. Record profits. 🛑💸 Shell just reported $6.92bn for Q1 while households absorb a $1,400 per-person annual drain. This isn't just business as usual, it's an indictment of a system that fuels instability at our expense. It’s time to make polluters pay. #Shell

Today we’re at the #MakeThemPay demonstration in London to demand that those responsible for climate breakdown and rising inequality pay up. While polluting corporations and billionaires are allowed to destroy our planet, ordinary people are made to live with the consequences.
We're on the streets today to tell the Government #MakePollutersPay! Oil and gas giants have made billions for the super-rich - driving up our bills and wrecking our climate. It’s time they paid to fix it! 🌍🔥💰 Our movement is growing fast and we're not going away! @makethempay.bsky.social

Make Them Pay@makethempay.bsky.social · 12mo ago⏰ ONE MONTH TO GO! ⏰ The stakes couldn’t be clearer: 🥵 we’re coming out of the 4th heatwave of the summer 🔥 a record amount of land has been burnt by wildfires already this year 🤑 and CEOs of the most polluting industries in the UK are getting richer
With its massive profits, the oil and gas industry has a chance to lead the energy transition. Instead, it is driving its business into a dead end and leaving everyday people to pay the price of climate catastrophe. #ClimateAction www.un.org/en/climatech...
