We've found 146 Climate-Related Tweets by Carla Denyer.

• 11 Mar 2026 The numbers speak for themselves - investing in Net Zero pays dividends, avoiding the billions in climate damages that we would face as the cost of not acting, while also giving us warmer homes, cheaper bills, cleaner air and healthier lives for us and future generations. [Source]
• 08 Mar 2026 Happy #IWD. Women bear the brunt of the climate crisis. But men dominate climate decision-making, and mega-rich ones like Farage, whose party is backed by oil and gas, set the climate back. I wrote this last IWD, but it's still relevant…???? https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/climate-change-international-womens-day-carla-denyer-b2708096.html [Source]
• 04 Mar 2026 6️⃣ Decarbonising UK industry mustn’t mean just offshoring it as that obviously does nothing for global carbon emissions. [Source]
• 04 Mar 2026 5️⃣ This stage of the transition to net zero needs to be led by our communities. The government needs to fund local authorities and community organisations to work *with* ordinary people during the transition ???? [Source]
• 04 Mar 2026 3️⃣ Workers need to be at the centre of the transition to net zero. We’re calling on the government to publish an assessment to ensure a just transition for those who work in industries like oil and gas ???????? [Source]
• 04 Mar 2026 2️⃣ Cutting emissions to net zero is essential – and the government needs to do it *with* people, not *to* people. That means paving the way with policies that improve people’s lives: delivering warmer homes, lower running costs, cleaner air and better local environments ???????? [Source]
• 04 Mar 2026 This summer, govt will set legally binding limits on greenhouse gas emissions for 2038-42 – critical for reaching net zero by 2050 ???????? I’m part of @CommonsEAC, which is urging the government to centre communities. 6 key takeaways from our report, published today ???? [Source]
• 10 Dec 2025 RT @AdrianRamsay: In case it wasn't already obvious why Farage and his party are spreading misinformation about the climate crisis and tryi… [Source]
• 07 Nov 2025 The UK is one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world, and communities across the UK are already suffering the impacts of the climate crisis Pleased to co-chair the new CAN caucus - to push for the bold action we need to protect nature & secure a safe future https://twitter.com/zerohour_uk/status/1983845056865038440 [Source]
• 04 Nov 2025 RT @AdrianRamsay: We must ensure polluters, not the poorest, pay for climate action. Ahead of COP30, we have written to the Prime Minister… [Source]
• 27 Oct 2025 RT @WarOnWant: We strongly agree with @carla_denyer on this one – the UN Climate Summit #COP30 must be about action, not just words. That’… [Source]
• 14 Oct 2025 Absolutely terrifying - the government is leaving communities utterly exposed to the effects of the climate emergency. We urgently need a plan with binding targets for how this govt will protect us as extreme heat and flooding worsen in the years ahead. https://x.com/carla_denyer/status/1978039231067926834/photo/1 [Source]
• 09 Oct 2025 The era of oil & gas is over - reserves are running dry and companies are pulling out leaving workers and communities high and dry Government urgently needs to make a plan to harness those skills for the green energy transition My piece for @prospect_uk on my Energy Jobs Bill: https://x.com/carla_denyer/status/1976260258189529527/photo/1 [Source]
• 08 Oct 2025 …Not to mention the massive impact that the climate crisis will have on our economy - which this year already amounted to an estimated £3,000 per household. Badenoch can stick her head in the sand all she likes, but it will be ordinary Brits counting the cost. [Source]
• 08 Oct 2025 If the Tories want to scrap the Climate Change Act, then it's both fiscally and morally irresponsible not to put at least some money into dealing with the effects of the crisis - from flooding to extreme heat - and protecting the vulnerable for example in schools and care homes. [Source]
• 08 Oct 2025 Badenoch's speech completely detached from reality with no mention of protecting our communities from the climate crisis - particularly in light of her party’s plans to scrap the Climate Change Act and throw away Britain's progress on preventing climate breakdown [Source]
• 03 Oct 2025 I've joined over 100 parliamentarians from across the political spectrum in calling on @KemiBadenoch to rethink her dangerous position on the climate and net zero - a position which puts Britain's economic strength, national security, and environmental leadership at risk. https://x.com/carla_denyer/status/1974061637792301470/photo/1 [Source]
• 21 Sep 2025 RT @ZackPolanski: Aviation expansion is a disaster for the climate crisis. Anyone who's been paying any attention to this shambles of a La… [Source]
• 18 Sep 2025 Here's a better idea: every data centre you build, you build enough renewable energy to power it, and you supply the waste heat from your cooling system to power homes and businesses nearby. Simple. Common sense. And fair. [Source]
• 18 Sep 2025 Big US tech company Nvidia saying they're gonna build data centres in the UK and we have to burn more gas to power them? Uh, no. British people shouldn't be paying higher bills and suffering accelerated climate change for your bottom line. [Source]
• 14 Jul 2025 Scary to see extreme heat become the norm in the UK - this will cost more and more lives. What is govt doing to protect us from these effects of climate change that are already with us? And how can they justify giving go-ahead to airport expansion which will worsen the crisis? https://x.com/carla_denyer/status/1944703058929144239/photo/1 [Source]
• 10 Jul 2025 This week I called for a ban on fossil fuel advertising. In the UK we forbid tobacco ads because smoking kills us. But air pollution caused by fossil fuels and extreme weather caused by climate change are already killing as many as smoking was when tobacco and ban came in. https://twitter.com/badvertising11/status/1942548285832757702 [Source]
• 09 Jul 2025 Wildfires burning in Marseilles, extreme heat costing lives - and yet politicians are stalling on the vital action we need for a safe future. @Keir_Starmer will you push Macron to commit to climate targets when you meet today? https://x.com/carla_denyer/status/1942902226374046115/photo/1 [Source]
• 26 Jun 2025 I'll be at the #ActNowChangeForever mass lobby on climate change on 9th July in Westminster. But will *your* MP be there? Sign up now and write to them to say you want to meet them: https://www.theclimatecoalition.org/act-now-change-forever https://twitter.com/TheCCoalition/status/1937877644969721991 [Source]
• 10 Jun 2025 RT @ClimateAPPG: Protecting our children's futures means we must end our reliance on oil + gas. But we need a plan for workers. Our Vice C… [Source]
• 10 Jun 2025 If we want to prevent the most catastrophic impacts of the climate crisis, there must be no new oil and gas drilling. The evidence could not be clearer. So @Keir_Starmer why won't you commit to leaving all fossil fuels in the ground? https://scienmag.com/new-oil-and-gas-developments-clash-with-paris-climate-targets/ [Source]
• 09 Jun 2025 Oil and gas giants have made huge profits for decades while driving the climate crisis. I'm backing the @MakePolluterPay campaign to make the biggest polluters contribute their fair share towards tackling the crisis and protecting our communities and economy. https://x.com/carla_denyer/status/1932103123499356276/photo/1 [Source]

• 02 Jun 2025 It’s deeply unjust - those who've done the least to contribute to the climate crisis are paying most dearly for it. While govts like ours delay, countries like Somalia – some of the poorest countries – pay the price. Important report by @Independent: https://www.the-independent.com/climate-change/news/climate-crisis-foreign-aid-cuts-trump-us-uk-b2755141.html https://x.com/carla_denyer/status/1929413529263657402/photo/1 [Source]

• 24 Apr 2025 Pleased to join @StopCambo this week handing in a petition with a million signatures calling on the government to do the bare minimum to protect us from the climate crisis - commit to no new oil and gas. Time for govt to listen! https://x.com/carla_denyer/status/1915381865390670030/photo/1 [Source]

• 22 Apr 2025 Bristol is home to many cultural and creative organisations whose work opens our minds to think differently and create positive visions of the future - essential in the face of the climate crisis. Last week I had the privilege of meeting some of them... 1/2 https://x.com/carla_denyer/status/1914768176467882479/photo/1 [Source]
• 02 Apr 2025 ...with every renter who keeps a roof over their head because of protections @patrickharvie secured, and every kWh of renewable energy Scotland produces because of @scottishgreens policies, Patrick's legacy offers real hope for Scotland, and achievements to be proud of ???? 2/2 [Source]
• 04 Mar 2025 REVEALED: burning the oil from govt-licensed new oil fields would produce more CO2 than running 15 coal-fired power stations from now until 2050. #StopRosebank #NoNewOilAndGas https://x.com/carla_denyer/status/1896945979125051695/video/1 [Source]
• 26 Feb 2025 Wow – amazing news this morning. Getting to net zero will be even cheaper than we previously thought & could save households £700 a year on bills, with more savings from switch to EVs. This is win-win-win for people in the UK and govt must commit to making it happen. https://twitter.com/theCCCuk/status/1894668934885920944 [Source]
• 24 Feb 2025 Huge opportunities in the net zero economy if we invest properly - this is where govt should be focusing, not on climate wrecking airport expansion or oil drilling! https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/feb/24/britain-net-zero-economy-booming-cbi-green-sector-jobs-energy-security [Source]
• 21 Feb 2025 Really interesting to meet with the Centre for Sustainable Energy, based here in Bristol, to discuss how we can work together to make homes warmer and more energy efficient and to ensure that our communities are given the training and skills needed for a cleaner, greener future. https://x.com/carla_denyer/status/1892957285397205357/photo/1 [Source]
• 07 Feb 2025 This January was the hottest on record and people across the globe are feeling the devastating impacts of the climate crisis. But the far-right, bankrolled by the ultra-wealthy, are organising to destroy climate action. Here's how we can stop them: https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/reform-uk-deny-climate-change-global-temperatures-b2693621.html [Source]
• 04 Feb 2025 Really glad @Ed_Miliband agrees that airport expansion can only take place within environmental limits. We know airport expansion is completely incompatible with reaching our climate targets, and therefore I look forward to hearing him confirm that govt won't back any expansion. https://x.com/carla_denyer/status/1886822571024249309/video/1 [Source]
• 31 Jan 2025 I've just registered my opposition to plans to expand Bristol Airport - they're not only reckless and irresponsible in the face of the climate crisis but would expose residents to severe noise, road congestion and pollution. The consultation closes today: https://bristolairport-futureplans.co.uk/ [Source]
• 28 Jan 2025 RT @AdrianRamsay: The expansion of #Heathrow isn't only about climate breakdown, it's about fairness too A small minority of people take t… [Source]
• 24 Jan 2025 Today I pushed for MPs to have a vote on the Climate and Nature Bill because the issue is simply too important to kick into the long grass. We have a vanishingly small window of opportunity to prevent climate catastrophe - govt needs to act now. #CANBill https://x.com/carla_denyer/status/1882870610055016911/video/1 [Source]
• 24 Jan 2025 Incredibly disappointed that MPs didn’t get the chance to vote on the Climate and Nature Bill - a crucial piece of legislation to prevent climate breakdown & protect our natural world. But thanks to all those who backed it - I'll keep fighting for urgent climate action #CANBill https://x.com/carla_denyer/status/1882830330182394027/video/1 [Source]
• 17 Jan 2025 Solar panels on all suitable new homes is a win-win-win: cutting bills, cutting emissions, and making UK more energy secure. We've got a vanishingly small window of chance to prevent climate breakdown & we need to take every chance we can get to bring down emissions #SunshineBill https://x.com/carla_denyer/status/1880240147087913316/video/1 [Source]
• 16 Jan 2025 The conversation around the climate crisis isn’t to change or not to change – change is coming for us whether we’re ready or not. Time for leaders to take their heads out of the sand - we need to decarbonise, fast, and make our communities resilient. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jan/16/economic-growth-could-fall-50-over-20-years-from-climate-shocks-say-actuaries [Source]
• 10 Jan 2025 As deadly wildfires rage in LA, news comes that the world has breached the 1.5 degree limit on warming- the limit that would have prevented the most deadly effects of the climate crisis UK needs to show leadership by ending ALL new fossil fuel drilling https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd7575x8yq5o [Source]
• 18 Dec 2024 I was pleased to attend the @ClimateAPPG + @EnvironmentAPPG event last night to celebrate the success of The Climate and Nature Leadership Programme. The UK must show much more ambition on tackling the climate crisis and I will continue to push for action in Parliament. https://twitter.com/ClimateAPPG/status/1869335615403331630 [Source]

• 21 Nov 2024 My thoughts are with John Prescott’s loved ones this morning - he made a huge impact on British politics, and on global climate action (one of the lead architects of Kyoto protocol), thanks to his combination of principles and down to earth straight talking. May he rest in peace [Source]

• 31 Oct 2024 Very distressing to see the dangerous flooding in Spain - my heart is with all those affected We know events like this are made more likely by climate breakdown. All governments must act now to be ready for and prevent catastrophes like this in future Inaction is not an option [Source]
• 15 Oct 2024 Affordable, accessible, reliable public transport is good for our communities, economy and environment. Every £1 invested in buses brings economic growth of £4.50. So even if the Chancellor doesn't care about climate change, investing in public transport is a no-brainer. [Source]

• 22 Aug 2024 We are facing a climate emergency and there can be no room for malign influences on policy making whilst our planet boils. Labour MPs should not be taking dirty money from oil and gas lobbyists. Full stop. I spoke to @Global_Witness https://www.globalwitness.org/en/campaigns/fossil-gas/new-labour-mps-take-over-45000-from-oil-and-gas-lobbyists/ [Source]
• 02 Aug 2024 Thank you @OhGodWhatNowPod for having me on the show!

• 26 Jul 2024 RT @EllieChowns: There is much to welcome in the Government's plans for renewable energy. But we also need rapid transition away from Nort… [Source]
• 25 Jul 2024 It's a relief that we now have an Energy Secretary who understands the climate crisis and is prepared to take the action we need. But action on renewables will be pointless unless it goes hand in hand with home insulation and the rapid transition away from North Sea oil and gas https://twitter.com/EllieChowns/status/1816372425157759107 [Source]
• 18 Jul 2024 @theCCCuk The Govt’s fixation on infinite extractive GDP growth as its overriding goal, rather wellbeing for its citizens and the natural environment, is an indication that, despite superficial signs of change, they are still fundamentally wedded to business and politics as usual. ????. [Source]
• 18 Jul 2024 @theCCCuk ... And without distinct (and achievable) policies like making solar panels compulsory on all new roofs and increasing unharvested forest and woodland by over 50%, there’s an all too real likelihood that 2030 targets won’t be met by this Government. ... [Source]
• 18 Jul 2024 @theCCCuk The Govt's decision to focus on renewable energy, whilst welcome, in no way lets them off the hook for the shameful decision to allow new oil and gas extraction from the Rosebank field - and falls far short of a meaningful green transformation across all sectors of our economy. [Source]
• 18 Jul 2024 .@theCCCuk is clear that the UK needs to take a massive step change to reduce emissions, yet, so far, the new Government hasn’t indicated it’s willing to invest in the kind of win-win measures that will make people’s day to day lives cheaper and the future liveable. ... [Source]
• 18 Jul 2024 A ???? about the latest @theCCCuk report: In this critical decade for the #ClimateEmergency, it’s vital the new Government acts swiftly to make up for previous decades of failings, with a clear plan of action whose timeframes are necessarily dictated by the climate science... https://twitter.com/theCCCuk/status/1813710522426265753 [Source]

• 02 Feb 2024 Well there you go, Labour has officially abandoned their £28bn climate investment pledge If you want a party that'll actually stick to its climate policies and not give them up at the first sign of trouble, the party you're looking for is @TheGreenParty https://join.greenparty.org.uk https://twitter.com/carla_denyer/status/1753387069424976279/photo/1 https://twitter.com/carla_denyer/status/1753323042736885918 [Source]
• 02 Feb 2024 @TheGreenParty Greens recognise investing in a green future will provide economic, social & environmental security. By decarbonising industry, insulating buildings and ramping up renewables, the UK can cut emissions and bills, and create secure jobs in every corner of the country. #GreenNewDeal [Source]
• 02 Feb 2024 There is more than enough money in the economy to pay for Labour's now-defunct (?) £28bn climate investment. Indeed, @TheGreenParty would go further and faster, investing at least double what Labour originally pledged, so we can turbo charge the transition to a green economy. [Source]
• 30 Jan 2024 @theCCCuk @TheGreenParty We need to call time on all new licences for fossil fuel exploration, accelerate the move towards renewable energy and implement a large scale home insulation programme. That is how the UK can show climate leadership. - me in @guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/jan/30/uk-must-act-urgently-to-meet-climate-commitments-says-watchdog [Source]
• 30 Jan 2024 .@theCCCuk is right, the Govt was sending mixed messages at #COP28 Through its drive to ‘max out’ North Sea fossil fuels they have blown any pretence of global leadership on tackling the climate crisis So has Labour, to be honest @TheGreenParty MPs are needed more than ever... https://twitter.com/carla_denyer/status/1752421959965589697/photo/1 [Source]

• 16 Jan 2024 Diverse teams get better results, that's well-evidenced. So why would Azerbaijan choose to have a COP29 organising committee with 28 men and 0 women? Could it be they're not motivated by getting the best outcome for the #climate, but by something else? https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/jan/15/cop29-climate-summit-committee-appointed-with-28-men-and-no-women-azerbaijan [Source]
• 05 Jan 2024 The climate crisis is here & now, being experienced in the UK, but the PM can't hold on to anyone who has good intentions on the environment. Labour has to be held to account as well - how long before their green champions feel their principles are too compromised to continue? https://twitter.com/CSkidmoreUK/status/1743324376479486007 [Source]

• 13 Dec 2023 #COP28 agreed a ‘transition’ from fossil fuels that falls far short of the fair phase-out that's needed. But we can still avoid the worst of the #ClimateEmergency if the UK and other governments step up. The best time to act was decades ago. The next best time is right now. https://twitter.com/antonioguterres/status/1734836109425758248 [Source]
• 11 Dec 2023 "Could"? What f***ing use is that? How can it take 28 UN climate conferences to arrive at merely "could"? "Could" is a suggestion. The earth, and everyone on it, needs something a lot more binding than that. #COP28 @COP28_UAE https://twitter.com/carla_denyer/status/1734322458595909978/photo/1 [Source]

• 08 Nov 2023 The Government's failure to set policy that's in line with the clear climate science is also another alarming example of the Conservatives’ allergy to evidence-based policymaking.

• 07 Nov 2023 I think we can all agree the #KingsSpeech was disappointing but not surprising from this govt???? @TheGreenParty's King's Speech would have included: ????#NetZero just transition ????️Renters' rights ⚖️Fairer taxes ????️A human right to clean air ????????‍♀️#RightToRoam ????️‍????#BanConversionTherapy https://twitter.com/CarolineLucas/status/1721845312455672319 [Source]
• 25 Oct 2023 The climate crisis is here, and it's costing the world £13million PER HOUR in extreme weather damage. Next time you hear conservatives complaining about the cost of #NetZero, ask them about the cost of delay. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/oct/09/climate-crisis-cost-extreme-weather-damage-study [Source]
• 27 Sep 2023 Giving the go-ahead to the huge new Rosebank oil field is choosing to make the Climate Emergency worse Labour could stop this. If they confirm now that they'd rescind the drilling licence in government, funding would dry up and the project would become unviable. Will they do it? [Source]
• 26 Sep 2023 It's important to bring people on board with the green transition - Sunak's right about that part. But his Conservative policies do the opposite! So thanks for the lecture Sunak, but actually @thegreenparty has better ideas about how to deliver a #JustTransition: a #GreenNewDeal https://twitter.com/carla_denyer/status/1706597150329602168/video/1 [Source]
• 20 Sep 2023 And yet all day we've heard Labour politician after Labour politician refuse to commit to restoring the #NetZero climate targets that Sunak is busy scrapping. Help us elect more @TheGreenParty MPs so we can hold the future government's feet to the fire. https://donate.greenparty.org.uk https://twitter.com/as_penarth/status/1704443208011276308 [Source]
• 20 Sep 2023 Sunak's #NetZero u-turn speech is chillingly Orwellian He stands at a lectern that says "Long-term decisions for a brighter future" to abandon what limited long-term thinking the Govt had, in favour of short-term efforts to chase votes from climate doubters at the next election. https://twitter.com/carla_denyer/status/1704520871467970672/photo/1 [Source]
• 20 Sep 2023 But Labour has not committed to restoring any of the climate targets Sunak dilutes or scraps???? Once again, this shows why it is so important to elect a group of Green MPs to hold whoever is in government to account, and fight for better protections for both people and planet. [Source]
• 14 Sep 2023 Awful awful news from Libya - thousands, possibly tens of thousands killed. Too early to say with certainty that this is down to rising global temperatures, but evidence does seem to show climate change is making strong storms like this more frequent. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-66799518 [Source]
• 11 Sep 2023 PS. This also feels very relevant to the current debate in Bristol about whether we should have a new underground. Not sure it's the best time, in the jaws of the climate crisis, to create new transport infrastructure below sea level that relies on flooding not being too bad... [Source]
• 11 Sep 2023 My friend did the Great North Run at the weekend. Storms flooded the Metro. Gridlock. This photo was the view from her bus home. This is climate change in action, folks. And it's only the beginning.

• 08 Sep 2023 The climate, and the UK economy, can't afford for our political leaders to just throw their hands up and say the offshore wind #CfD auction has failed. We must urgently hear from Government what they're going to do to keep the #NetZero transition on track https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/sep/08/biggest-clean-energy-disaster-in-years-uk-auction-secures-no-offshore-windfarms [Source]
• 05 Sep 2023 The de-facto ban on onshore wind will be lifted at last! It's good news, but I'm greeting it more with a ???? than a ???? because the Tories are only saving us from themselves, only on this one policy, and only after 8 years of needlessly shackling the UK's ability to reach Net Zero [Source]
• 02 Aug 2023 @TheGreenParty ⚡️ @TheGreenParty Earth Overshoot Day action plan on energy: - No new oil and gas exploration. Ever - Revoke all licences for oil and gas drilling in the North Sea - Invest in renewable energy, including the infrastructure needed for powering up the country with green electricity [Source]
• 22 Jul 2023 @TheRealJRBPatel @BBCRadio4 @TheGreenParty It shouldn't, because insulating homes lowers bills, gives warmer and more comfortable homes and lowers carbon emissions. Renewable energy is cheaper than gas. In fact when David Cameron 'cut the green crap' last decade it added to our bills: https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-cutting-the-green-crap-has-added-2-5bn-to-uk-energy-bills/ [Source]
• 22 Jul 2023 Woke up to @BBCRadio4 #r4today discussing the risk that the Tories abandon their already weak climate policies, giving in to anti Net Zero culture war types.

• 16 Jun 2023 Bristol's Advisory Committee on Climate Change - local version of @theCCCuk - has reported on #Bristol's progress tackling the #ClimateEmergency It's very worrying.

• 15 Jun 2023 I took part in a fascinating panel this week for @YorksBylines where we each pitched a policy that should be the next Government's top priority for tackling the climate crisis.

• 09 Jun 2023 @TheGreenParty The Govt's windfall tax already had a huge loophole, now Hunt wants to weaken it further, giving oil & gas companies a free pass. @TheGreenParty Dirty Profits Tax would make polluters pay while protecting everyone else as we transition to net zero.

• 10 May 2023 Incredibly distressing to see death toll still rising in the Congo The increase in floods & landslides like this is a clear result of climate change.

• 01 Feb 2023 To make matters worse, 20 other airports are planning #AirportExpansion and watched this case closely. It could open the floodgates to a huge increase in CO2 emissions @baancc will try to take this to the Court of Appeal.

• 31 Jan 2023 Bristol Airport expansion allowed by the High Court. This is a devastating outcome. It tramples on local democracy and would mean 1000s of extra flights producing a million tonnes of CO2 equivalents every year. @baancc are going to try to take it to the Court of Appeal. https://twitter.com/carla_denyer/status/1620392843960545281/photo/1 [Source]

• 13 Nov 2022 A thrill to meet @lukejerram today and see his new #OilFountain artwork. It's a disconcerting metaphor for how society, once built around water, is now arguably built around oil.

• 11 Oct 2022 In fact, UK land use needs to change a lot if we are to reduce our carbon emissions to #NetZero. This graph from @centre_alt_tech's #ZeroCarbonBritain report shows the land for feeding livestock goes down, land for carbon capture, energy and food for human consumption goes up. https://twitter.com/carla_denyer/status/1579828715319885827/photo/1 [Source]
• 21 Sep 2022 To bring bills and emissions down for good, Govt support for businesses MUST be smarter and more targeted than just a blanket cap on wholesale energy costs. More than 100 UK businesses have called on Govt to prioritise energy efficiency, renewables, & industrial decarbonisation. https://twitter.com/BusinessGreen/status/1572451628128542722 [Source]
• 15 Sep 2022 @PhilipHammondUK Govt plans for more North Sea oil & gas and fracking undermine both our climate targets and the UK economy. A rapid transition away from fossil fuels is the best way to tackle soaring energy bills and help the economy. Renewables, not fossils, promise a brighter future. [Source]
• 15 Sep 2022 In 2019 @PhilipHammondUK, then chancellor, claimed going net zero by 2050 would cost the UK more than £1 trillion, hinting the country couldn’t afford this.

• 05 Sep 2022 Liz #Truss being selected as Prime Minister by such a small and unrepresentative group of people is a disaster for the UK, and the climate. Her plans to encourage more North Sea oil & gas does nothing to help households this winter. But it will absolutely fuel the climate crisis [Source]

• 27 Jul 2022 The best way of bringing down the #CostOfLiving and tackling the #ClimateCrisis is to invest in insulating homes, massively ramping up renewable energy, while providing people with the immediate financial support they need now. #Fracking is an expensive and dangerous distraction. [Source]
• 13 Jul 2022 @GWPF_org @DeSmogUK It's clear that the climate and environment are simply not safe in Conservative hands. This is why we need an election, so the public (who - polling shows - have a stronger appetite for bold climate policies than Tory *or* Labour MPs) can vote for #ClimateEmergency action! [Source]

• 26 May 2022 Sunak's #WindfallTax is missing a trick, it incentivises further O&G investment & fails to incentivise renewables that can both reduce bills and tackle the climate crisis. It is another missed opportunity to shape a clean green economy for the future. We need a #DirtyProfitsTax [Source]
