Great news and congratulations to all at Herriot-watt and P&P. Now we have to kick fossil fuels out of USS. No pensions on a dead planet and look at the terrifying events in Spain.
🎉 VICTORY! Heriot-Watt University divests from fossil fuels! 🎉
Huge congrats to students and staff that secured this win - including @HWUnion and the Society for Progressive Students! 🧡
A massive 110 UK universities have now excluded fossil fuels from their investments 🔥!

#ExtinctionRebellion #Scotland protested outside the #Glasgow offices of insurance companies Howden Group, AIG & AXA that enable new fossil fuel projects
Activists dressed as zombies danced a Killer Driller routine - there’s no insurance on an undead planet!

The new Peterhead gas power station could be FIVE TIMES worse for the climate than feared.
The developers have failed to produce an honest assessment of its harm.
Urge your MSPs to expose the truth of its climate impact: act.foe.scot/expose-peterhea…

Brilliant work here uncovering that the companies pushing the plan for a new gas-burning power station with CCS have *hugely* undercounted climate emissions and misled the Scottish Government.
Climate impact could be FIVE TIMES WORSE than SSE & Equinor claim 🔥🔥🔥
Divest Lothian retweeted
Join us tomorrow to stand up against Shell and demand that the UK government make polluters pay for loss and damage!
Divest Lothian retweeted
For the new Peterhead power station, SSE & Equinor failed to count climate pollution from:
❌extracting gas
❌processing gas
❌transporting gas
The @scotgov must order these energy giants to produce an honest climate assessment of the harm it will cause.

Based in the UK? 🇬🇧

Fossil fuel companies Shell and BP between them made £30 billion in profits over the last year
More than the combined GDP of the five most climate vulnerable countries in the world

In Edinburgh activists were highlighting @Edinburgh_CC's failure to divest from fossil fuels.
People were also calling on both Scottish + UK Government's to sign the @fossiltreaty

BREAKING: Shell just announced they made £4.6BN in just the last 3 months.
We're outside Shell's HQ, on their profits day, as part of #MakePollutersPay week of action, to demand Shell pay up for the devastation they've caused.
Shell, stop sucking the life out of us 🦇🧛

BREAKING: @Barclays is really causing @Wimbledon a headache as its sponsor.
The bank is hijacking Wimbledon’s reputation to hide its multitude of sins as funder of climate crisis and genocide.
Wimbledon must drop them theguardian.com/sport/articl…
