"Too little was done too late”: New commentary with PIK director Johan Rockström warns of rising planetary risks after a missed decade of action. Climate & biosphere pressures keep increasing, but stabilising the Earth system is still within reach.

Great work CAN 👏 the distinction between Good COP and Bad is crystal clear at this point. The Fossil Fuel Industry must be identified and shunned at every possible opportunity. Fossil lobbyists Out of #COP30

Ok, the Australian pavilion then.. maybe even better!

They should commandeer the US' pavilion until theirs is returned to a serviceable state - good basecamp to start physically demanding reparations from if you ask us!

What happens when art and activism truly learn from each other? Join us on 13th December at the launch of the first Disobedient Art School (.d.a.s.) publication, to investigate together.

Art Storm Intervention #1 Groninger Museum NL. “As the climate continues collapsing, month on month, year on year, it is incomprehensible to us that a public cultural institution would continue promoting the fossil fuel industry.” Simply put - It's a moral failure. #EndFossilArtwashing

The fossil fuel industry are lobbying to fill their already overstuffed pockets at the expense of all life on earth. Their reps should be banned from #COP30 and all future COP events, and their lies and deceptions punished by law. #EndFossilFuels

Shell’s ‘Adura’ will see oil giant dodge £1.3 billion in UK tax Climate, fuel poverty & tax justice groups have written to Chancellor Reeves and HMRC calling for an investigation into the new North Sea oil venture and legal reforms to stop tax dodges in the Autumn...

More info here

Climate criminals Shell and Equinor have joined forces under under trading name Adura to dodge £1.3 billion in taxes, after already paying ZERO tax last year. Destroying the planet at the taxpayers expense. Despicable. Irredeemable. Their CEO's should be in jail, and companies sued into bankruptcy.

It’s absolutely About Time On the October 31, 2025 the artist-activist collective Fossil Free Culture NL (FFCNL) exposed just how outdated fossil sponsorship has become. The collective made it clear: they will keep the press…

Art Storm Intervention #1 in the @groningermuseum.bsky.social “As the climate continues collapsing, month on month, year on year, it is incomprehensible to us that a public cultural institution would continue promoting the fossil fuel industry,” - Maria Rietbergen, FFCNL spokesperson

Mandela, Gandhi, and Millicent Fawcett - that the UK government celebrates as heroes - would be imprisoned today under their extreme laws.
Good action from Greenpeace UK, highlighting this dangerous hypocrisy.

Hurricane Melissa, barrelling towards Jamaica right now with wind speeds of up to 160 MILES per hour, after rapid intensification overnight on Sunday - a textbook example of our collapsing climate impacting those most who have done the least to cause it.

Next month, the world gathers in Brazil for #COP30, a chance to turn promises into action. @cop30brazil.bsky.social, must rise to the example of Indigenous and traditional Peoples leading the way, with courage, justice, and unity #UnidosPelaTerra #TheAnswerIsUs. #COP30

Toxic liar with clear vested interests. When he says 'we', he means it's a problem the fossil fuel industry and billionaires can live with. This is Eugenics.

The Fossil Fuel Industry are only interested in maximum profit, no matter what the cost. Even if that is a liveable planet. Their reps and lobbyists should be banned from #COP30 and all future COP's - like life depends on it.

The Fossil Fuel Industry treats the planet like a business in liquidation. The result? A polycrisis of collapsing climate stability, accelerating inequality, and punching through the planetary boundaries that all life relies on for existence. #EndTheFossilFuelAgeNow

Net Zero is a Big Industry Scam - Offsets have been rorted since the beginning, Carbon Capture has failed at every turn. Stop the problem at the source. #EndTheFossilFuelAgeNow

BUTCHERED. Anish Kapoor protest art at Shell’s North Sea platform. While Shell just keep pumping up their profits, our liveable planet bleeds out, in fires, floods and heatwaves.

100% of #CCS projects have been failures.
Carbon Capture and Storage as a climate solution is a dangerous lie perpetuated by the fossil fuel industry who just want to continue their catastrophic business as usual while the planet burns. #EndTheFossilFuelAgeNow

Nations who fail to curb fossil fuels could be ordered to pay reparations, top UN court rules Landmark opinion says those that fail to prevent climate harm could be liable for compensation and restitution

One reason fascism is rising world-wide, is that the fossil fuel industry knows the only way to continue their catastrophic business as usual - now everyone knows They Knew - is to bankroll corrupt politicians to do their bidding, no matter what. Now those states could be held liable. That matters.

Our memorial constructing a counter-timeline, to insert the region’s seismic history into the Groninger museum’s celebratory narrative of their 150year existence. FFCNL insists the museum acknowledge their community’s lived reality, and cut ties with their fossil sponsors accordingly. #gasquake

June 15th, as the Groninger Museum celebrated its 150th anniversary "Behind the Scenes" we gave an unsolicited performance of the same title, inserting the human and environmental cost of gas extraction. 1932 black dots on the walls, each one a gas extraction earthquake made by their fossil sponsors

Yes Liberate Tate were amazing! A great inspiration for us and many others. Not sure if they are still active now..? Do you know? We hope that more artists and activists will work together at the intersection of art and activism to terminally erode social license for the FFI #EndTheFossilFuelAgeNow

Great you bring this article and the matter to the public attention @ketanjoshi.co 👍 We also focus on this subject, using disobedient art to make Beautiful Trouble in museums in the Netherlands. Have eliminated all but 2 such FFI sponsorships in major institutions here so far fossilfreeculture.nl

The Fossil Fuel Industry uses Cultural Sponsorship to Block Climate Action @desmog.com lays out the current and historic proof. @groningermuseum.bsky.social certainly participates Maybe the new directors are ready to face facts and make a fresh start? We are making plans, and watching closely.
