Saint Columba of Iona's Church in the Woodside area of Glasgow. Designed by Gillespie, Kidd and Coia in a modern twist on the Italian Romanesque style, it was built in 1937.
Norway’s 🇳🇴 KLP, & Britain’s 🇬🇧 LGIM, are the latest investors to disclose they'll vote against Woodside’s climate report. Critics described #Woodside’s strategy as overly reliant on offsets & not aligned with the #ParisAgreement ❌ https://buff.ly/4b7nbAf

Investors file record number of #ClimateResolutions for North American companies
"A record 263 climate-related shareholder resolutions have been filed so far this year for annual meetings of North American companies, a new tally showed on Tuesday, with proponents tailoring their wording to gain support."
"Australian oil and gas giant #Woodside has been rocked by the biggest investor uprising ever seen against a major emitter’s approach to climate change as 58 per cent of its shareholders rejected the company’s decarbonisation plans as inadequate.
“The scale of this rejection is globally unprecedented.”
Free College Church Mission Hall on North Woodside Road in Glasgow. Built in the 1870s in a Gothic style, this hall is where the Boys Brigade was founded in 1883, which is 25 years before the Boy Scouts were formed, making it the oldest uniformed youth organisation in the world.
Looking west across Glasgow from Port Dundas at dusk. In the right foreground is the 1860s Wheatsheaf Building on Speirs Wharf, in the middle is the 1960s Woodside High Flats, while in the left background is the distinctive 1870s gothic tower of Glasgow University.
The former Woodside Public School in the west end of Glasgow. Designed by Robert Dalglish and built in 1882, it's unusual amongst schools built prior to 1900 by the Glasgow School Board in being in a Jacobean style rather than the more typical Classical or Italianate styles.
The usual line from the #DirtyEnergy spokespeople elected to parliament is that Australia is too small a player for Oz energy policy to make any significant contribution to #ClimateDisruption.
It's always been a lie. Australia has always punched above its weight when it comes to climate responsibility, having the largest fossil fuel resources per capita in the world.
For years, courts have even largely accepted the government's 'drug dealer' defence when it comes to approving new coal and gas projects ("if we don't sell it, someone else will, who doesn't even have our standards!").
But if you want to see the lie laid bare, check this story. The mere possibility of temporary industrial action at a single Australian dirty energy company is already having global impacts on gas markets.
The former North Fire Station on Saint George's Road in Glasgow.
Built in 1889, this fire station had space on the ground floor for a steam-powered fire engine and a manual fire engine. Unusually for the time, it doesn't seem to have had space for horse-drawn fire engines (or stabling for horses themselves).
