BREAKING: Greenpeace activists have CONFRONTED a piece of Shell drilling equipment that is getting ready to extract oil in UK waters - even though Shell DON’T HAVE LEGAL PERMISSION to drill Why is Shell IGNORING high court rulings that FORBID them from extracting oil at Rosebank?
Two activists on a boat at sea, behind them looms a massive ship towing oil rig equipment. They are holding banners saying: Stop Rosebank, and Oil War Profiteers

🤨 Investing £22billion of public money in a technology with a track record of failure is NOT going to help the UK achieve its climate goals, or create good green jobs. Here’s why (thread):

🤑 Would you donate to save the fossil fuel industry? Nah, we wouldn't either, but that doesn't matter – the govt has already committed £22bn and counting of your money to a tech that's meant to reduce emissions but is actually a lifeline for oil and gas. Outraged? Share this!

The UK just committed £22bn to carbon capture and storage – a tech with an 80% failure rate that lets oil & gas greenwash their emissions. At this CCS conference, most speakers repped fossil fuel companies. Share if you think it's absurd we're funding tech that protects fossil fuel profits 🙃
