Carbon capture has hit the news again, with new revelations from leaked Government documents.
Our briefing for MPs gives you a quick outline of why these plans are so bad for the climate:

@griffitha@biztradegovuk Nothing wrong with expecting decent standards from companies we invest in. It's on them to prove themselves, not just expect £ as usual. Most voters (inc. your constituents) support companies addressing environmental, social and governance issues
The CBI states that the net zero economy grew at 9% in 2023, much better than the economy overall... Perhaps this is exactly where they SHOULD be directing their energies? #ClimateAction
Mr Griffith told peers that politicians and regulators have overseen an enormous shift in the City away from risk-taking, severely harming the economy, and instead directing energies towards net zero and diversity. https://t.co/e3PkChAMOZ

NOW is the perfect time to set up an MP Ally group in your constituency to give your MP SCIENCE-based briefings on legislation. First one on CCUS & the next on WATER.

@griffitha In your #Arundel & #SouthDowns constituency 47% of people are concerned about not being able to pay their energy bills. Heat pumps = green, efficient & essential part of the urgent action needed to cut out fossil fuels. And 62% of your constituents also support #NetZero - do you?

Soon, that incessant whining sound won't just be a left-wing politician, it'll be the noisy heat pump the government has forced your neighbour to install.

“Today, we are on the precipice of a massive victory for the climate,” says @laurensunfl0wer ahead of @StopCambo’s Edinburgh court case against the Rosebank oilfield.
Our #Arundel and #SouthDowns MP @griffitha has been appointed shadow business secretary. We hope he will champion the green jobs and solutions we all desperately need in the #ClimateEmergency
@griffitha Congratulations @griffitha. Please remember that 88% of your constituents support renewable energy projects in their local area, and 61% support net zero! We hope you can influence your new party leader on this

GB Energy bill in the House today. Lots to enjoy but it allows the government to put EVEN MORE of our funds into unproven carbon capture & storage tech than the recently announced £22bn!
Many see CCS /blue hydrogen as the fossil fuel co s big gambit to stay in the game.
❗️TOMORROW: MPs will debate climate finance in UK parliament.
After years of profiting from burning coal, oil and gas, the UK owes poorer countries in the Global South money to tackle the climate crisis & protect their citizens.

Collapse of the #AMOC ocean current would force UK and Scandinavian citizens to flee as refugees—as agriculture fails. This could really happen in the next few decades, but we have a chance to stop it.
What can we do?
