The £264 billion Carbon Capture Bill: Why your energy costs will soar | Fuel Poverty Action Dr Andrew Boswell writes on Carbon Capture and Storage for FPA. Money would be better spent on renewables and insulating homes, he explains.

The govt is ignoring scientists' warnings about carbon capture.

Super cool initiative to bring climate science to everyday people, from the brilliant team at @climatescibreak.bsky.social
👏💪💚🌍

It’s been absolutely brilliant so far. So inspiring and empowering.
Thank you 🙏💚💪

I’m in!

Thank you for all your hard work. Hopefully this is not the end but I’m so sorry for this terrible set-back.

This is absolutely shocking news. Gas-linked Carbon Capture actually INCREASES emissions. Our government are either wilfully ignoring this and are set on destroying our planet for short-term gain, or have been taken in by the lies of the fossil fuel lobbyists. 😭
We need @zero-hour.bsky.social now.

Yep. Or in the words of the legend @bobbyllew.bsky.social: “Can someone explain to our former prime minister Tony Blair that carbon capture and storage does not effing work. It’s the shoddiest bit of crap misinformation from the fossil lobby that Tony is clearly benefiting from . . . allegedly.”

Plus “CC offsetting schemes” are currently being used to justify a load of NEW fossil fuel projects. Such schemes not only can’t offset the extra emissions generated, they actually ADD to emissions. So it’s doubly disastrous.

The point is that emissions GENERATED by gas-based CC are far greater than emissions captured by it, due to upstream supply chain emissions - especially methane. So CC makes climate change WORSE.

The thing is the science shows that it will barely reduce them, if at all. And pretending it will is actually making matters far worse as it’s being used as an excuse to INCREASE fossil fuel use through apparent but deeply-flawed “offsetting” schemes. It’s total planet-destroying propaganda 😢

I’m really looking forward to this! It’s on zoom and if you can’t afford the ticket price you can join for free!
Great talks lined up from @fisherdanar.bsky.social @kuminaidoo.bsky.social @ghostpanther.bsky.social @annpettifor.bsky.social @kateraworth.bsky.social @tzeporah.bsky.social and more. 💪🌍💚

Really important campaign to educate and inform MPs and the public why we absolutely cannot rely on Carbon Capture to mitigate against the devastating damage we’re doing to our planet.
Please take 5 minutes to write to your MP now asking them to Scrap Carbon Capture: scrapcc.org/CCS-ACTION-BS1

Also: Scientists need to step up. Comment from @chrisgpackham.bsky.social on the @sciencetopolitics.bsky.social rally outside Parliament

Thanks so much I didn’t know about that!

I know right??

#sciencetopolitics #science #climate #netzero | Nick Oldridge I wish it had not come to this, but the UK's leading scientists are now protesting outside parliament - to demand action on climate. Here's my little TikTok summary of the day. Huge respec...

Very pleased to join over 100 scientists incl @dremilygrossman.bsky.social @mikebernerslee.bsky.social @paulbehrens.bsky.social @chrisgpackham.bsky.social talking to MPs yesterday.

Spoke to two MPs on the new #ScrapCarbonCapture campaign (see: tinyurl.com/CCS-CAMPAIGN)

WATCH: tinyurl.com/SCI-TIK

“As parliament debated the controversial climate & nature bill to remove protections for the UK’s natural environment, scientists gathered in Parliament Square. This followed a stark warning from the UK’s Climate Change Committee that the country was “not prepared” for the impacts of climate change”

Want to know THE most effective thing you can do today to help bring meaningful action on the climate and nature crisis?

Email your MP to ask them to sign the Climate and Nature Bill’s Early Day Motion!

Follow the link below, it’s super easy & takes less than 5 mins.

Please help spread the word!

Absolutely extraordinary day yesterday w/ @chrisgpackham.bsky.social @robinince.bsky.social
