Cut The Ties To Fossil Fuels @cuttheties.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
💰 $58.2 BILLION in one year… That’s how much fossil-fuel financing JPMorganChase provided in 2025, up 12.5% from the year before. At a time we need to move away from fossil fuels, the money is still flowing the other way. #FossilFuelFinance #ClimateCrisis

WEAK When receiving Xi Jinping in the US, Donald Trump had B-1 bombers and F-22 Raptor fighter jets fly over the location, in an attempt to intimidate & impress the Chinese president. But when the roar happened, it was Trump who made a face of pain & discomfort, while Xi showed no reaction #cdnpoli

Police arrest far-right activist Daniel Thomas after dinghy slashed in Channel
Thirty-seven-year-old in custody suspected of committing crimes including ‘criminal damage to endanger life’ Daniel Thomas, the far-right agitator and anti-migrant activist, has been arrested on suspicion of “criminal damage with intent to endanger life”, two days after he filmed himself slashing the side of a dinghy in the middle of the Channel, while a rescuer was on board. Hampshire and Isle of Wight constabulary issued a statement saying that a 37-year-old man, of no fixed abode, had been arrested on Wednesday night “on suspicion of destroying ships or fixed platforms or endangering their safety under section 11 of the Aviation and Maritime Security Act 1990”.

The problem for the CCS lobby who want to licence Rosebank by "paying for CCS" is that their scheme can never pay for all the emissions. There is huge carbon leakage from the CTBO scheme - ie "it doesn't add up"👇 See: bsky.app/profile/dran... @georgemonbiot.bsky.social @tessakhan.bsky.social
