Wtf @octopus.energy
I use you, and have recommended you, because of your climate credentials!
Now it seems like your CEO wants to approve climate disasters like #

Here is research evidencing global fossil fuel benefits flow to tiny number of individuals(primarily US), costing rest of society billions and exacerbating inflation inequality. Governments are purposely hiding/ignoring this fact. Why?

A Nature Communications study confirms it: 2014–17 bleaching hit 51% of the world’s reefs.
Worse than any event before it.
Ocean warming is accelerating. Irreversible reef collapse is now “near certain” on our current path.
This is extinction in real time.
A reminder that there are young people in the UK who have been held in prison for up to two years without conviction for allegedly dismantling weapons of genocide.
The government has been proven wrong on all accusations against them so far.

Yes Greg should resign and Octopus customers should leave if he doesn't.
But maybe we should resign too. The climate movement needs an urgent rethink if we are to avoid the very worst of climate collapse. Our children deserve better.
Greg is the CEO of the UK's leading (not entirely) green energy company, yet he fails to understand or communicate this essential point. In fact he makes the opposite case and *can see no argument* to the contrary.
Doesn't this illustrate that the climate movement has failed?
Fitting a heat pump or solar panels does not, in and of itself, slow climate breakdown as the fossil fuels saved can simply be burnt elsewhere.
The only thing that slows climate breakdown is leaving fossil fuels in the ground. So that's what we must do beneath the North Sea.
Greg appeared on Today and committed moral and economic madness by saying "While we're still dependent on gas, I can't see any problem with getting more from the North Sea" before going on to admit that doing so would make near enough zero difference to gas prices.
"Climate activists are sometimes depicted as dangerous radicals. But the truly dangerous radicals are the countries that are increasing the production of fossil fuels. Investing in new fossil fuels infrastructure is moral and economic madness."
This is a call for the resignation of Octopus Energy CEO
@gjuk.bsky.social.
And also a complete rethink of the climate movement in the UK.
Greg, the world's top diplomat Antonio Guterres says "Investing in new fossil fuels infrastructure is moral and economic madness". Are you mad? 🧵

London premiere of documentary film on the environmental impact of US military. Exempt from international #climate agreements the Pentagon is the world’s single largest institutional polluter—spewing carbon, poisoning water, and scarring landscapes across the globe.
"the measured values suggest that with a hypothetical 1 m of relative sea-level rise, 31–37% more land and 48–68% more people (increasing estimates to 77–132 million) would fall below sea level."

Corporate broadcast coverage of climate change fell 35% in the last year, even as Trump systemically dismantled climate policy and billion-dollar disasters rose
The gradual deprioritization led NBC climate reporter Chase Cain to hit a breaking point, and he quit last week
Here's our interview:
Seems to me that perpetual gas and oil crises might be avoidable if we replaced them with more locally sourced non-depletable resources. There might be other benefits too. Just a thought. 🤷
NEW ANALYSIS: UK emissions fell 2.4% in 2025 as coal fell to a 400-year low. Incredibly, we used less coal last year than than in 1600, when Queen Elizabeth I was on the throne and Shakespeare was writing Hamlet.

Nigel Farage and Tommy Robinson will hate this video. But when you watch it, you'll know they can be defeated.
Unfortunately the BBC are making the same argument in non-satirical way
Just the BBC’s Clive Myrie and Justin Webb rationalising an @theonion.com headline as if it were a valid viewpoint rather than satire 🤯

The truth is stranger than fiction. In a globally warming climate the thought that things can get colder seems to be an oxymoron. The truth is without AMOC we would have a greater thermal imbalance and hence by implication colder winters and warmer summers.

Earth has delivered a warning - we’ve already experienced a near-collapse of AMOC once.
We must insulate homes and build resilient food systems NOW, before it's too late.
And above all, we must stopping burning fossil fuels.
a parched field in Europe
A full shutdown would be catastrophic for Europe.
Northern Europe would become too cold and unstable for reliable agriculture.
Southern Europe would face deepening drought.
Food systems across the continent would be thrown into crisis.
2009's event was temporary and natural. Today, it’s melting Arctic and Greenland ice - caused by the burning of fossil fuels - that is weakening the AMOC.
In other words, human activity is pushing the system towards long-term, permanent collapse.

In 2009, the AMOC suddenly but temporarily weakened, driven by a confluence of rare atmospheric conditions.
The result? A glimpse of a future that none of us are prepared for.
The UK had its coldest winter in a century.
Sea levels in North Eastern USA rapidly rose by 13cm.

Agriculture in Northern Europe wiped out by a big freeze.
Southern Europe plunged into drought.
That’s what's coming if the AMOC current in the Atlantic keeps slowing or shuts down altogether.
How can we be so sure? Because we got a preview in 2009. 🧵
A bit late to this, but this graphic by @amywestervelt.bsky.social is **extremely** important. It's another reminder that "just stop mentioning climate change" isn't an option, as advocates, analysts and communicators.
