UK & EU energy / climate policy has changed significantly over the last few years. This paper, published today, presents 3 scenarios for how the relationship with the EU, might evolve between now & 2035. #Brexit @CH_Environment @WarwickBSchool https://t.co/9MMXgntGIP Thread 👇

2. The 'most fundamental legal protections' are in the process of being destroyed as the UK government 'attacks' the natural world with 'bulldozers and concrete'. This is from a major, normally restrained, conservative NGO.

UK currently has 9 TWh of gas stored, compared with 217 TWh in Germany, 122 TWh in France & 162 TWh in Italy.

"The UK government dismantled its largest gas storage facility in 2017, a decision taken by then chief secretary to the treasury – Liz Truss."

@beatcold and Potteries Moneywise show how fuel poverty is affecting more and more people in Staffs and what can be done to slash bills with insulation and solar https://t.co/AsPOMvdzqK

Polio is back in the UK. That's just another reason why privatised water companies should not be allowed to dump faeces in rivers.

If 43% of UK adults do not pay tax (IFS sourced) as they are carers, low paid, pensioners, unemployed etc. - how will tax cuts help them pay the £4,000 fuel and utility bills forecast?

"I'm a plain-talking Yorkshire woman," says Liz Truss, who was born in Oxford and lives in Norfolk.

[Enough is Enough @eiecampaign]

NEW: #EnoughIsEnough has written to prime minister @BorisJohnson imploring him to urgently recall parliament.

Sitting down with energy companies and walking away with no new measures is a dereliction of duty.

He must act now: stop the October price hike.

@LizClements @birminghamcg22 If Birmingham joined the growing list of cities providing free public transport we'd make even bigger strides towards decarbonising transport & tackling the #ClimateEmergency 💚

If every person who's been on a @birminghamcg22 shuttle #bus & had great experience opts to swop a few car journeys a week for the bus, we'd make big strides towards decarbonising transport. We can tackle the #climateemergency by taking steps in our daily lives. #PublicTransport

@BrumCJC @bhamys4c @FootstepsBCF @ClimateWestMids @xrbham Extreme wildfires, floods, drought are affecting vulnerable communities across the #Commonwealth . "Net zero by 2050" is too little, too late and we're not even on track to meet that target. #ClimateActionNow

[Birmingham Climate Justice Coalition @BrumCJC]

“The #CommonwealthGames2022 provide an international platform for #Birmingham. We should use this to highlight an issue that effects us all at both a local and international level - #ClimateChange”

On the left is a 2020 Met Office prediction of what a 2050 summer heatwave could look like.

On the right is a BBC weather forecast made this morning, for this coming Tuesday.

The Climate Crisis is real and it's happening now. Wake the f**k up.

#carculture is a choice which has spoiled cities and cost millions of lives. We can make better choices to reclaim streets for people and help tackle the #climateemergency
