Did you get that? 🤔 No? Well, then let's spell it out for you. Renewable energy is the key to Africa's development - not this colonial agenda of extractivism. #COP27

The UK is, the Government couldn't be further from that goal

Much the same but then there is a strong element of conservatism running through the older generation that is resistant to change in fear it will break down old orders - I include river dredging and verge cutting, and their views are echoed in certain press

Sadly, at COP,27 climate crisis is being usurped by energy crisis. Gives little hope of radical transformational change necessary to tackle deepening problems of climate change
Caroline Lucas@CarolineLucas

There are over 600 fossil fuel lobbyists at #COP27 - that’s more than the combined delegations from the world’s 10 most climate-impacted countries. Dirty fossil fuel money & influence should be nowhere near this climate conference - new fossil fuels must stay firmly in the ground

So almost all UK rivers have been classed as ecologically unfavorable status and you want to recharge our reservoirs with the muck (sewer) discharge from our rivers? You may want to do a bit of fact searching before putting such ideas out there
John Redwood@johnredwood

I am asking the Environment Secretary to ensure the Environment Agency and water companies do draw more of the currently plentiful water from our rivers to refill the reservoirs. The pace of refilling is too slow.

My understanding from latest science reports about conditions and current trajectories is we have already passed the 1.5C post. Certainly in Europe 2022. And have no idea about next summer. How long will we continue to sell to the people the 1.5C target?
Caroline Lucas@CarolineLucas

“We still have a chance but we’re rapidly losing it. I’d say 1.5C is in intensive care. So either we act immediately & in a very strong way, or it’s lost & probably lost for ever.” Spot on from @antonioguterres, on huge amount at stake at #COP27 theguardian.com/environment/20…

Well I find that deeply disappointing. It indicates we have learnt nothing and refuse to be accountable. It should always be first about the environment and human wellbeing. We cannot substitute ethics and moral duty/ responsibility with economic trade off
Paul Geater@Geates

I've always felt it would be economics, not environmental concerns that sunk @sizewellc . Why spend billions in a recession on a project that won't bring any benefits until the late 2030s when expanding wind and solar can bring them by 2025? eadt.co.uk/news/21530464.…

#Defra letter instructing us to keep our 4 chickens housed because of bird flu. Surrounding countryside saturated with released pheasants and weekends guns blasting on farms and estates. Are there special exemption agreements, why not a full lock down?
