💥BREAKING: Dozens of climate justice activists disrupted the #OilandMoney conference, a summit of fossil fuel companies, this morning at the @ICParkLane in London this morning.
The grossly named Oil & Money conf changed its name to Energy Intelligence Forum but obviously no energy intelligence is taking place, as the International Energy Agency warned that no new #fossilfuel projects can be built if we are to limit #globalheating to 1.5C.
The toxic guestlist includes @Shell CEO Ben van Beurden, @TotalEnergies CEO Patrick Pouyanné, Saudi @Aramco CEO Amin Nasser & Liam Mallon of @exxonmobil
These climate criminals are responsible for climate breakdown and must be held accountable.
