New here! The UK-wide movement to free Parliament from the polluting influence of fossil fuels. Find out more: https://fossilfreeparliament.uk
🛢️🌎 New research from #KickBigPollutersOut reveals that more than *5000 fossil fuel lobbyists* accessed the previous four COPs combined.
It's little wonder the conference keeps failing to commit to a fossil fuel phase out.
There was never any time to waste: big polluters must be ejected from COP!

GOOD NEWS 🎉: A court in South Africa has revoked Shell's permission to drill a number of offshore exploration wells off the country's south-west coast.
The Judge found the environmental approval "woefully deficient" on the potential coastal impact of the exploration.
