We've found the following climate-related tweets, speeches & votes by Chris Curtis

• 31 Oct 2023: Tweet

  This man called homosexuality "threatening", described abortion as "the easy way out", said climate change is "probably doing good", and "Nature should take its course" with COVID. It's hard to understand why the Tories thought it was a good idea to give him a job. https://twitter.com/HenryRiley1/status/1719298207971246513 [Source]

  @claireharr Even if you believe the UK shouldn't be doing more on climate change (and you would be wrong) ditching the target makes no economic sense, as Blair would tell you. [Source]

  @claireharr Even if you don't believe the UK shouldn't be doing more to combat climate change (and you would be wrong) reversing on this makes no economic sense. [Source]

  @dolleyolley @alistrathern A new publicly owned energy company, GB energy, that will dramatically increase the amount of wind, solar, and wave power generated in the UK, and make us less reliant on energy from dictators. Investment in retrofitting homes to bring down bills and combat climate change. [Source]

  This country is going to need to decarbonise. We can be a leader, reaping the economic benefits, creating more jobs, and making Britain less reliant on buying energy from dictators. Or we can be a follower and end up costing the country far more money in the long run. [Source]

  "Climate change is here, it is terrifying, and it is just the beginning" https://twitter.com/SkyNews/status/1684560678647115778 [Source]

• 23 Jul 2023: Tweet

  It's clearly really important that net zero doesn't become a crusade. https://twitter.com/SkyNewsBreak/status/1683196308922720259 [Source]

  This is fascinating research, using a novel and interesting approach. But the findings are pretty clear - Labour shouldn't feel nervous about discussing climate change. https://twitter.com/SteveAkehurst/status/1603326077031571458 [Source]

• 17 Oct 2022: Tweet

  Really proud to have supported this piece of work and it is well worth reading through this thread. We need to combat climate change, and we need to be better at communicating these messages to voters. https://twitter.com/saltsea/status/1582023996328927232 [Source]

• 18 Jul 2022: Tweet

  It also showed that "winning the next election" was their top priority. And polling shows that voters want action on climate change. https://twitter.com/PickardJE/status/1548926324475133952 [Source]

• 14 May 2022: Tweet

  @leobarasi Yes this is a fair gripe. I don't think it makes much difference (and might even push climate change up) but will change for next time. [Source]

• 14 May 2022: Tweet

  Our first report spoke about the importance of winning voters straight over from the Tories, and the 5 things Labour needs to do in order to convince them they are ready for government Meanwhile, they need a bold offer on climate change to hold the progressive coalition together https://twitter.com/chriscurtis94/status/1525379616436805632/photo/1 [Source]

  @beicwrtaff @ToddDAmbra Well the purpose of the question was to see how much people care about culture war issues, which needs a bit of a different questions. There are a whole raft of "most important issues" questions (including ours) that include climate Change. [Source]

• 05 Apr 2022: Tweet

  @beicwrtaff @ToddDAmbra It was tricky because there is still kind of a debate about whether we should respond to climate change at all...as well as how we should do it / how quick we should do it. [Source]

• 07 Mar 2022: Tweet

  Before Brexit, polling showed a country that was pretty evenly divided on the issue, with most polls in the early part of the decade showing Leave ahead. This isn't true on climate change, where the vast majority think we should be doing more. [Source]

• 07 Mar 2022: Tweet

  A reminder that in the "real world" there is overwhelming support for achieving Net Zero. The out-of-touch Westminster elites should start respecting the will of the people. https://twitter.com/SteveAkehurst/status/1494649564904796161 [Source]

• 17 Dec 2021: Tweet

  The Tories are clearly in need of a reset. They need a clear sense of purpose and a more consistent critique of the opposition. On purpose, they are bouncing around from “fighting climate change” to “leveling up” to “fixing social care” etc. etc. etc. [Source]

• 25 Oct 2021: Tweet

  No? Showing change on 1990 is a bit silly when it covers up the fact that co2 production per capita is still twice as high in USA as it is in China. https://twitter.com/AntonSpisak/status/1452711074143391745 [Source]

• 05 Oct 2021: Tweet

  Have stayed sober long enough to pop up on The World Tonight shortly. I'm talking all things levelling up and tackling climate change. Can the government do both? https://twitter.com/chriscurtis94/status/1445495586438803456/photo/1 [Source]

• 03 Oct 2021: Tweet

  Tories key message: Wages are going up Labour's key mesaage: Stronger Future Together, standing up the left, we are fiscally disciplined, office for value for money, loads more money to fight climate change, work, care, equality, security, tax private schools....etc. etc. https://twitter.com/gabyhinsliff/status/1444607745055985665 [Source]

  @CharlotteCGill I think that's their *only* redeeming feature. They haven't been attracted by the sexier (and usually unnecessarily expensive/unrealistic) things you could do to combat climate change, but are campaigning for the boring thing that we know actually works. [Source]

• 19 Sep 2021: Tweet

  @gabrielmilland @Will_Tanner @ProfTimBale It's less well known than net zero, about the same as culture war https://twitter.com/MattChorley/status/1346050621280038913?s=19 [Source]

• 03 Sep 2021: Tweet

  @aedwardslevy I assume it doesn't hold anymore, but I remember spotting a few years back that people were more likely to believe in climate change during summer. [Source]

• 10 Aug 2021: Tweet

  @p_surridge So older people are actually more scared of climate change, after controlling for politics? Strange. [Source]

• 10 Aug 2021: Tweet

  This has long been my favourite climate change policy. https://twitter.com/meadwaj/status/1425089909812043790 [Source]

  But, as always voters still aren't willing to pay for it. Just 27% would support policies to combat climate change if they "had a negative impact on their personal finances", with 43% opposing. Among Conservative voters just 20% support, with *53%* opposing. https://twitter.com/chriscurtis94/status/1425076522587668492/photo/1 [Source]

  Equally, a strong plurality thinks the government is still underreacting to climate change, although here many Conservative voters do think they are getting the balance about right. https://twitter.com/chriscurtis94/status/1425074895801757696/photo/1 [Source]

  Quick thread on the public's attitudes to climate change, based on our latest polling ???? https://www.opinium.com/resource-center/uk-voting-intention-24th-june-2021/ [Source]

  @GoodwinMJ If you want Britain to be fighting a culture war then that's on you. I would prefer it this great nation focused on fighting Covid, fighting crime, fighting unemployment, and fighting climate change. [Source]

  I must have missed that groundbreaking paper showing that greenhouse gasses don't have any effect outside the M25. https://twitter.com/JuliaHB1/status/1373683864967786497?s=19 [Source]
