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.

#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 🔥🔥🔥
28 Oct 2024
SHARE TO EXPOSE
New research has highlighted the huge climate pollution from a new gas power station at Peterhead.
The companies could have underestimated its climate impact by 1 million tonnes every year.

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.

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

The bank is hijacking Wimbledon’s reputation to hide its multitude of sins as funder of climate crisis and genocide.
