They can't even come up with the bare minimum. This is shameful. Deeply shameful. twitter.com/Josh_Gabbatiss…

School strike week 167. Today we’re outside @StanChart asking them to stop funding our destruction. Banks still pour fantasy amounts into fossil fuels, destabilising the planet and putting many people’s lives at risk. #FridaysForFuture #CleanUpStandardChartered #UprootTheSystem

“History will judge you.”

That's how young people around the world are describing our governments' failure to cut carbon emissions. And it's no surprise.”

There were more people in that meeting. Media needs to stop erasing the voices of activists, especially the most affected people from the most affected areas. twitter.com/Thelma_DWalker…

Time is running out. Change won’t come from these conferences like #COP26 unless there is big public pressure from the outside.
Join the climate strike this Friday (Kelvingrove Park 11am), and the climate march Saturday (11.30am) to make your voice heard. Together we are strong.

I am pleased to announce that I’ve decided to go net-zero on swear words and bad language. In the event that I should say something inappropriate I pledge to compensate that by saying something nice. #COP26

#COP26: GREENWASH ALERT!
The fossil fuel industry & banks caused are among the biggest climate villains. Now @Shell @bp & @StanChart are here in Glasgow trying to scale up offsetting & give polluters a free pass to keep polluting. Their plan could trash the 1,5°C goal.

It is time to take down the Taskforce on Corporate Scams.
Polluting profiteers see offsetting as their “get out of jail for free card” in the climate game.
But offsetting is often a dangerous climate lie.

Offsetting risks human rights transgressions and to harm already vulnerable communities.
Offsetting is often hypocrisy and it is swirling around at #COP26.
In broad daylight, we are being gaslit by corporates and governments but we are exposing the climate lies.

Nature-based offsetting that relies heavily on land use in the Global South and in Indigenous lands risks shifting responsibility for emissions made by Global North countries to those already struggling with the impacts of the climate crisis and are least responsible for it.

670
This Taskforce, and other schemes like it, are scams that could trash the goal of limiting global temperature rise to 1,5°C.
We are a part of nature. If we protect nature, we protect ourselves. We do not protect ourselves with dangerous climate lies like offsets.

#COP26 has been named the must excluding COP ever.
This is no longer a climate conference.
This is a Global North greenwash festival.
A two week celebration of business as usual and blah blah blah.

“Many are asking what it’ll take for people in power to wake up. But let’s be clear - they’re already awake. They know exactly what they’re doing. They know exactly what priceless values they’re sacrificing to maintain business as usual.”
