The only 'pragmatic approach' to #OilAndGas, Mr #Burnham, is to shut it all down, arrest all the executives, and put them all on trial charged with conspiracy to commit murder. The #MetOffice is already predicting temperatures which will cause mass deaths in the #UK within thirty years. #NorthSeaOilAndGas #ClimateEmergency #ThereIsNoEconomyOnADeadPlanet https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jul/30/burnham-promises-pragmatic-approach-to-north-sea-oil-and-gas

We can have oil and gas now, or we can have a habitable planet for our children and grandchildren to live on into the future. We cannot have both. Which would you prefer? #ClimateEmergency #ThereIsNoEconomyOnADeadPlanet https://www.thenational.scot/politics/26405675.scotland-burning---not-considering-new-oil-fields/

"In the UK, national weather service the Met Office has just warned that, by 2056, there could be nine days in a row with temperatures above 40°C, with some places hitting 45°C. In just 30 years! I’ve seen at least one piece asking “is this the new normal?” about the current heatwave, but we’re never going to have normal in our lifetimes again – just ever more extreme heat." #GlobalWarming #ClimateEmergency #ThereIsNoEconomyOnADeadPlanet #ThereIsNoPlanetB https://www.newscientist.com/article/2531853-if-you-arent-terrified-by-this-heatwave-you-should-be/?sfnsn=scwspmo&utm_id=97757_v0_s00_e227_tv2_tp1_a1dennhavsorz4
