I'm tired of this Govt using oil & gas workers as an excuse to issue new fossil fuel licenses - the truth is by failing to act now to manage a fair and just transition, led by workers & unions, they’re failing those workers & their families & risk leaving communities hollowed out

[2024-02-20 19:51 UTC]

Expansion of fossil fuels is simply not in line with net zero - how many experts do I have to quote before the Government will listen?

[2024-02-20 19:47 UTC]

The Government's Offshore Petroleum Licensing Bill was never anything but a desperate and dangerous political stunt to use the climate emergency as a front in its culture war. New oil and gas is not compatible with 1.5 or in workers interests.

RT by @CarolineLucas: 💥 BREAKING 💥

For nine months, the Government has been fighting to keep its assessments of the risks surrounding its climate plans in the dark. It’s not hard to see why.

We’ve got their risk tables here:

So Britain's self-styled "first green Chancellor" takes climate sceptic money, then drops £28bn pledge? What's next, just abandon net zero altogether? Never been more vital to have Green MPs.

Labour sounding just like the Tories now - saying they can't invest because it's "fiscally irresponsible".
Nothing is more irresponsible than failing to invest now in liveable homes and a liveable planet.

Shocking levels of complacency even by this Government’s standards!
With EDF also wanting to develop Sizewell C & the new funding model meaning unanticipated costs increase would fall on consumers, let’s hope Ministers are less negligent with the next nuclear white elephant.

The UK govt must call for an immediate ceasefire. Hamas must also agree to this ceasefire of course, and release all hostages.

And there's more UK could be doing ...🧵

RT by @CarolineLucas: 🤔 But weren't Labour forced to row back on their £28bn climate commitment because of the state of the economy?

💚 No! There is plenty of money in the economy to pay for this (and more - @thegreenparty would invest double). It's a question of political priorities

The UK spent a staggering £265bn on energy in 2022 – the most recent data available – including more than £100bn on imported oil and gas alone

Insulating homes + expanding domestic green energy supplies wld bring those numbers down…
