Check here to see if your MP has signed For MPs and Peers to express support for briefing the nation on the threats from climate & nature breakdown to the UK’s security, food supply, health and economy.

Has your MP signed the Parliamentary Call for Government to stage a prime-time televised emergency briefing on the threats to British life from climate & nature breakdown, and the opportunities from genuine emergency action?

People deserve to know.

This is just a taste of what @profpaulbehrens.bsky.social warned about at the National Emergency Briefing πŸ‘‡.

It’s time for the Government to brief the nation and take emergency action to avoid serious prolonged food shortages.

Has your MP signed yet?

.@earlrussell.bsky.social of @peersfortheplanet.bsky.social asks about the partially withheld National Security Assessment on threats to UK from biodiversity loss.

Thoughts on this response from the Gov spokes?

Why hasn't the Government yet briefed the nation?

I think it makes no sense to buy a hybrid. You're paying for two independent drive systems when pure EV does the job very well, with easily enough range.

With batteries now much cheaper, EV range is no longer a problem.

It makes little sense to install two drive systems in a car, making it significantly heavier and less efficient.

Recalibrating Climate Risk: New report urges governments and investors to fix 'faulty radar' in climate damage models | Green Futures Solutions The Recalibrating Climate Risk report explains why economic models are increasingly understating climate risks as the world moves towards 2Β°C.

"If our agriculture system fails, for example, the knock-on impact of widespread hunger –through labour shortages & social unrest– would be far greater & disproportionate to the 4% of global GDP the sector currently makes up"

Most assessments of the economic risks of #climate dont account for this!

When people believe that reaching 'net zero' is a good idea, but too expensive, we need to ask, 'Compared to what?'

Yet more hidden costs of fossil fuels that we all pay the price for.

Written evidence submitted by Energy & Utilities Alliance (EUA)

Right direction but woefully slow. 23 million homes in the UK are heated by fossil fuels. At this rate, the conversion would take 184 years.

This should be done at emergency pace.

We’re also making it worse with every new home built with a gas boiler.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate changeβ€”all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Dear @werahobhouse.org.uk @billesterson.bsky.social @pollybillington.bsky.social @lizzicollinge.bsky.social + others on the Energy Security & Net Zero Committee.

Please could you ask Ed tomorrow about this πŸ‘†

UK #CCS plans relying on US #LNG are disastrous.

Geothermal offers a great alternative.

2️⃣ Here’s why new UK gas power stations with carbon capture will be roughly as bad as coal for the climate - even if the #CCS works as promised (a very big β€˜if’).

Gov’s assertion that it’s low carbon relies on ignoring the 2/3rds of emissions that occur upstream beyond our borders.

Amazing progress in geothermal powerπŸ‘‡

UK Gov should now abandon its disastrous carbon capture plans, centred around building π—‘π—˜π—ͺ gas power stations fed largely by importing Trump’s #LNG which is disastrous for the climate.

We’d be energy independent but it would need courage to go against Big Oil.
