Just Stop Oil made a comeback this afternoon, blocking the road outside Parliament for several hours. JSO are acting on the science that shows new oil and gas means more fires, more floods and more deaths.... Will the UK government do the same? #StopRosebank #JustStopOil

7/ MPs walk back into the Commons today with a choice: serve constituents, or serve oil majors. #Jackdaw & #Rosebank don't bring "energy security". They're bring fire, more floods, more deaths, locked in for decades. 🛑 Stop new extraction 🌱 Protect ecosystems 🔬 Let science lead, not lobbying

6/ 💀 NEW OIL & GAS = MORE DEATHS "Climate change is increasingly destabilising the... systems... on which human life depends" — Lancet Countdown, 2025 UK heatwaves this year killed an estimated 2,700+ people. 42% of those deaths are attributed to human-caused warming.

5/ Let’s remember that record-breaking levels of rain were measured in parts of the UK at the start of 2026 devastating farming and local communities. www.metoffice.gov.uk/blog/2026/wh...

4/ 🌊 NEW OIL & GAS = MORE FLOODS A warmer atmosphere holds more moisture, meaning heavier rain & stronger cyclones. Hurricane Melissa's rainfall was made roughly twice as likely in today’s heated #climate.

Scientists on Survival @scientistsonsurviv.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

3/ 🔥 NEW OIL & GAS = MORE FIRES Hotter, drier conditions mean wildfires spread faster & burn longer. Attribution scientists repeatedly find human-caused #climate change to be a key driver of deadly wildfires. NASA data shows extreme fires are getting bigger and more frequent.

2/ Fact: burning fossil fuels is the single biggest driver of global heating. Extreme weather events, such as droughts, wildfire & flooding are amongst the most noticeable symptoms of the #ClimateEmergency.

1/ Today Scientists on Survival welcomed MPs back to Parliament. As @miattafahnbulleh.bsky.social & @andyburnham.bsky.social weigh opening #Rosebank & #Jackdaw, MPs must face up to the harm that more CO2 means - & not be misled by spurious industry talking points. A thread 🧵 #ClimateEmergency

Members of 'Scientists on Survival' took part in an action outside the UK Government's Department for Energy Security and Net Zero this week to highlight the dangers & harms from permitting further oil and gas drilling. You can read more about it here: scientistsonsurvival.org/blog/new-oil...

12/ As scientists we are doing all we can to ensure basic scientific realities are accounted for in decision-making. But this is an all-of-society problem and we can’t do it alone. We need to stop adding fuel to the fires, and that needs everyone to take a stand.

7/ Our members travelled from around the country to share the same message with the government. Each was motivated not just by their knowledge, but also by their own experiences of this year’s extremes. Here are four of them, in their own words:

4/ Like most people, we have been horrified by the events of this summer. We’ve had 5 heatwaves, we’re deep in drought, and landscapes are burning as never before. People are dying, crops are failing, and nature is suffering Many of us have seen places we love destroyed.

2/ 10 scientists sprayed the building with water to say that we should be fighting the fires not fuelling them The police decided not to carry out any arrests.

1/ Today Scientists on Survival visited the Department of Energy Security and Net Zero to remind the government of the scientific facts. New oil and gas 🛢️ = more fire 🔥, more extreme weather ⛈️, more food shortages🚫 and more death ☠️. For more details see thread🧵...

Celebrities like Mark Rylance is pushing for film and TV to tell fewer stories about greed and revenge and more about community, climate, and inspiration. We are in a crisis of imagination and Film and TV need to show us some light.

Finally, @mikebernerslee.bsky.social asks for people to raise their hand if any of the speeches told them something they didn’t know We need “WWII level of leadership as if survival of our society depends on it… because it does” Long and important pause. They have been told, now we know they know

Environmental lawyer @tessakhan.bsky.social says delaying transition adds to the costs, where the global poorest suffer greatest cost. Break link to electricity and gas price, insulate homes, retrain for clean energy jobs, and withdraw quickly and totally from fossil fuels.

Professor of Biodiversity Nathalie Seddon @biology.ox.ac.uk says only 7% of our forests are healthy, and depleted marshes and soils put over 5 million homes at risk of flooding. @wwf.org.uk showed over half of voters think the gov is not doing enough to protect nature.

1158

Scientists on Survival @scientistsonsurviv.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

Director of Policy Solutions @angelaisfranc.bsky.social says Gov needs to change the rules to shift away from destructive industries, eg big agriculture, and create transition. Fossil fuel economy is doomed. 0.2% of UK GDP to meet CCC recommendations, and fast transition is cheaper & essential.

Scientists on Survival @scientistsonsurviv.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

Lt Gen Richard Nugee says climate is a threat multiplier. Iraq, Afghanistan, and other wars created and affected by climate. Conflict in Arctic Sea likely, and food shortages/floods to create civil unrest in UK. Cuts to fossil fuels essential for national security and reducing global wars.

Prof of Medicine @hughmontgomery.bsky.social says climate is biggest risk to health. “I am scared” he says. Web of impacts of climate lead to wars and societal collapse. Plant-based diets and cuts to new oil and gas are among the tools Gov needs to promote.

Scientists on Survival @scientistsonsurviv.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

Food security scientist @profpaulbehrens.bsky.social says farmers don’t know how to get through the next floods and droughts. Gov needs to support plan-rich diets to support farmers and health and reduce food waste for cleaner air & water for healthy people, soils, nature, and climate.

Scientists on Survival @scientistsonsurviv.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

Professor of Climate Change Tim Lenton @exeter.ac.uk describes tipping points cascades. Coral reefs appear to be doomed. AMOC collapse will both freeze and superheat UK, and halve wheat and maize globally. Positive tipping points, eg death of oil & gas from policy are essential for survival.

Author of Food and Sustainability @profpaulbehrens.bsky.social Farmers don’t know how to get through repeated flooding. A third of 2023 food price increases were from extreme weather. We need plant-rich diets & reduced food waste supported by policy for clean air, water, soil, and better health.

Extreme weather scientist @hayleyjfowler.bsky.social says fossil fuels will make 8 million UK homes at risk of flooding by 2050. Heat will bring more UK wildfires. Healthy people can die within hours of extreme heat in eg. India. Permanent crisis management avoided by urgent cuts of fossil fuels.

Scientists on Survival @scientistsonsurviv.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

Climate scientist @kevinclimate.bsky.social says “we need to eliminate fossil fuels”. Societal and ecological collapse at 3-4C warming. For <2C, the UK has 7 years of current CO2 emissions. Drax and CCS are delay tech. Heat pumps, good public transport, and deep cuts of aviation are essential.

What is more shocking? 1. Throwing soup on a glass protecting a Van Gogh’s painting 2. Destroying a Banksy mural 🤔 Destroying political art is on the slippery slope towards fascism. All of them have done it. They may be saying they need to protect judges, but this isn’t the way.

The Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA), part of the Bank of England, must include capital requirements for fossil fuel projects to make them more expensive and properly reflect their extreme risk. Ecosystem collapse is financial collapse. END

Scientists on Survival @scientistsonsurviv.bsky.social · 23/07/2025

However the PRA still states that no new capital requirements will be imposed on top of what is required now. This allows banks and insurance firms to continue enabling oil and gas expansion projects with impunity, burning the planet and the economy. 9/10
