In 1985, the French government bombed the Rainbow Warrior. It wasn’t just trying to sink a ship - it was attempting to sink a movement, to attack activism, and to silence the voice of hope. They failed. They blew wind in our sails. Greenpeace and the movement refused to back down and continued to campaign against nuclear testing. And in 1996, we won.

40 years ago today, the #Greenpeace flagship Rainbow Warrior was bombed by French secret service agents. Two blasts destroyed the ship and murdered onboard photographer, Fernando Pereira. #RW40 #nuclear #ship
Fossil fuel companies knew decades ago that their products would cause devastating climate change. But they ignored the evidence and continued drilling, instead choosing to spend an enormous amount of money and effort denying, misleading and delaying climate action. Fossil fuels account for over 75% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Drilling and burning these fuels heats our planet and supercharges extreme weather events like deadly heat waves, floods, fires and hurricanes.
Last week’s heatwave killed an estimated 2,300 people in 12 European cities, according to a new study. The study by the Grantham Institute claims: fossil fuels were behind 65% of those deaths. #StopFossilGas image
THE SYSTEM IS RIGGED. While floods, heatwaves, and climate and nature crises hit the rest of us, Bezos parties in Venice and Musk turns a year older and a few million richer. This isn’t a glitch. But people are pushing back & so should you 👉 #TaxTheSuperRich
Yup! Polluters are poisoning the planet, then hiding behind greenwashing to look responsible. It’s a deliberate strategy to deny, deceive and delay anything that threatens their profits, even real solutions to the pollution crisis. Don’t fall for it. We need bold action and strong global rules to hold them accountable. Join the call: #PlasticsTreaty image
"...climate impacts alone may not change minds. However, it also highlights what may affect public thinking: helping people recognise the link between climate change and extreme weather events." #ActOnClimate
The classic gotcha. Time to flip it. Let’s talk about who really broke the climate. #PollutersPayPact >> #stopdrillingstartpaying image
June 2025: +1.6°C. Imagine *doubling* this fever 😵‍💫 +3.1°C is not set in stone. +1.5°C is not lost. We can avert the worst if we make oil and gas corporations #StopDrillingStartPaying. Sign the #PollutersPayPact today >> #MakePollutersPay
