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

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...

As someone in this picture I find it a little odd that @natureportfolio.nature.com chose this image to illustrate the point. We were very careful when choosing a slogan for our signs that it be scientificly defenceable. "Science says New Oil & Gas = Death" is a plain statement of fact 🧵

This thread responds to Prof. Christian Dunn’s Telegraph piece on #climate communication. I argue it misdiagnoses public disengagement, underplays escalating scientific risk, & reproduces a media narrative that has actively shaped, not merely reflected, public resistance to climate action 🧵
