If grief is the price of love, responsibility is the price of power. While the eyes of the world are turned towards the UK, we ask the government to address the concerns of the people, and to allow them to live in dignity.

Today scientists came back to parliament to talk to their MPs about New Oil&Gas.

Let’s start with a clear statement:
No one is asking that the current supplies of Oil&Gas are turned off overnight.
Not JSO, not the International Energy Agency, no Scientist, not the UN. No one!🧵 Image
Let’s be clear, from the exchange we had so far with our MPs, it is clear that there is sometimes a knowledge gap (regardless of the party) on what New Oil&Gas licences really mean.
So starting where we are heading…

New Oil&Gas does not help the transition towards green energy

Extracting just the fossil fuels from EXISTING sites globally would result in 140% more carbon pollution than the allowed budget for 1.5°C
Adding planned NEW extractions will be 190% over

Nature is in crisis, nationally & internationally. @ScientistsX took to the streets to share some hard, scientific facts about the state of biodiversity decline & loss, and the failure of governments, including @DefraGovUK & the UK government, to address this. #TheBigOne

A global, intergovernmental assessment of biodiversity and ecosystems concludes that up to 1 million animal & plant species are now threatened with extinction, many within decades. @IPBES (2019) ipbes.net/news/Media-Rel…

Recent rates of extinction of plants and animals are running hundreds to thousands of times faster than in pre-human times and are growing. The Royal Society @royalsociety (2021) royalsociety.org/topics-policy/…

1/ To commemorate the life & work of Prof. Will Steffen (1947-2023), we have compiled a thread of clips with some of his key insights.

He was a pioneering Earth-system scientist, science communicator & powerful advocate for climate action with a vital message for the world... 🧵
2/ Prof. Steffen was one of the originators of the planetary boundary framework which provided a science-based analysis of the risk that human perturbations will destabilize the Earth system at the planetary scale🌍🚨

3/ "As the science improves the future looks much riskier at lower temperature increases, and this is really solid scientific evidence for the fact that we are actually in a #ClimateEmergency"

🚨Breaking - NOT Guilty ! 🚨

Four members of Scientists for Extinction Rebellion vindicated by Crown Court following appeal.🧵 Image
2/ The defendants were part of a group of scientists who took part in an act of nonviolent civil disobedience at the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy to highlight the danger posed by new oil & gas exploration
3/ The outcome of this appeal highlights once again the inconsistencies of the legal system. The five other scientists who took part in the same action at BEIS were separately tried in October, and were found to have no case to answer.

*BREAKING*
Members of @ScientistsX are protesting outside @DefraGovUK demanding that @GOVUK stops its #AttackOnNature and takes immediate action to halt biodiversity loss in the UK.

A thread on why we're taking action today 🧵

#NoNatureNoFuture
Among those taking part are leading experts in ecology and conservation science.

Some of the scientists pasted posters calling attention to the dramatic declines in UK species onto the windows of @DefraGovUK headquarters.

2/n
Wildlife is in crisis in the UK, we are now one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world!

According to Prof. @AndyPurvisNHM from @NHM_London the UK has "led the world in degrading the natural environment"

This cannot continue!
