@IlkleyChat Critically - net-zero saves consumers & Uk money, even if other countries don't act, and costs less than just one let alone 2 fossil fuel crises

[John Marsham @JohnMarsham]

@BrianDa67696046 @ClimateIlkley But we must not let culture war over energy stop us investing in cheap power for our economies, like it is in the USA . China has built more solar than rest of world combined in 2025 https://t.co/zsNYeHRT4r

Looking forward to @ClimateIlkley screening in May

@ClaireCoutinho Time to stop culture war on energy. It's harming the USA. It's harming the UK. China is surging ahead with renewables. The UK needs to as well https://t.co/zsNYeHRT4r

.@RoryStewartUK & @campbellclaret
unfortunately couldn’t make it to the National Emergency Briefing.

Would they consider having @MikeBernersLee
on #Leading please?

Mike chaired the NEB and sets out the UK threats - and the choices ahead - with exceptional clarity. #NEB2025

[John Marsham @JohnMarsham]

Climate Crisis provides essential context for all politics - trade thro & conflict over the melting Arctic, mass migration, materials for renewables/batteries, global food & water supplies, fossil-fuel lobbying of parties & govs. How can RestIsPolitics not cover the @nebriefing ?

Say it how it is @BBCNews , "The climate crisis, caused by burning fossil fuels, is driving increases in such extreme weather fluctuations"

Media always want brevity. A shame
@FinancialTimes cut my quote on @nebriefing
& what warming means for things that matter, e.g. UK food supply & national security. And that action is a long-term financial opportunity despite small short-term cost.

Please sign the open letter to Keir Starmer and UK broadcasters calling for a televised emergency briefing.

People have the right to know about the serious threats facing this country, and that we could be doing so much more.

@itvnews saying "it will be tough challenge for scientists to persuade politicians & public that the cost of change is cheaper than the alternative" & failing to mention that ECONOMISTS in the @nebriefing.bsky.social showed just that! https://t.co/itjNralM8n is to MEDIA & Gov.

[National Emergency Briefing @nebriefing]

Let us not forget to congratulate all those MPs and Peers who attended the National Emergency Briefing.

Nothing can be changed until it is faced.

Again climate crisis tagged on by @BBCNews & an overly weak statement. Climate crisis is increasing extreme rainfall all over the world & this is the latest example. Will worsen until net-zero
"It is likely that climate change has also had a part to play" https://t.co/88EyNPRQ0a

[John Marsham @JohnMarsham]

This quick summary of the @nebriefing National Emergency Briefing event in Westminster, by Dave Borlace, is very good if you want the 25 minute version.
And please sign the letter: https://t.co/FmK8pvxZH8

[John Marsham @JohnMarsham]

Please sign this.

Effective democracy relies on a well-informed electorate, and quality information is urgently given decades of mis-direction & information from fossil-fuel lobbying.

[Simon Oldridge @SiOldridge]

Over 25,000 people have already signed the letter to Keir Starmer and national broadcasters calling for a televised emergency briefing.

Climate tagged on end, not at heart of story as it should be. Plus unnecessary caveats @BBCNews . "While it is hard to link individual extreme weather events to climate change, scientists say ...".
We CAN state climate change plays a role in this tragedy https://t.co/88EyNPRQ0a
