Stop Climate Chaos Scotland @sccscot.bsky.social · 24/08/2026The private jet tax could raise millions. It could fund an emergency insulation programme, better buses or community-owned energy. The biggest polluters should pay the most towards tackling climate change and protecting the vulnerable from its impacts. #PolluterPaysPrinciple #ClimateJustice 141
Stop Climate Chaos Scotland @sccscot.bsky.social · 24/08/2026The super rich criss-cross the globe in private jets, while many people can’t afford to heat their homes. This inequality *must* be reduced, as part of a #justtransition. We need a strong private jet tax, set at least 10x higher than current air tax, to support #climatejustice. 120
Stop Climate Chaos Scotland @sccscot.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Data centres for AI could more than double Scotland's total electricity use. If it’s really Scotland’s Energy, why let big tech use so much of the renewable electricity we need for our homes, our transport, our industry? We need a moratorium on hyperscale data centres. @stephengethins.bsky.social 2117
Stop Climate Chaos Scotland @sccscot.bsky.social · 24/08/2026If it's Scotland's Energy, prove it! Ordinary people should feel the benefit of Scotland's renewables wealth.

Stop Climate Chaos Scotland @sccscot.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Bus routes are being cut across Scotland under private ownership.
