@MasterGareth @Karaokekev70 @ChrisGPackham @CumbriaCC You can’t rely on a fossil fuel, it’s none renewable- once it’s gone, it’s gone! You need an alternative. Fossil fuels need to stay in the ground.

[Chris Packham @ChrisGPackham]

Come on @CumbriaCC - allowing the first coal mine in 30 years is backwards thinking and completely contrary to aiming for net zero - this is not part of the solution - we have an opportunity for change - take it !

Just in case you were getting too excited about the whole fracking ban/moratorium nonsense, here's a move that captures how deep this government's commitment to decarbonisation really goes... https://t.co/bBo4mXUjUW

WCM plan to mine 3.1 million tonnes of of coal a year, emitting to over 200 million tonnes of carbon dioxide over the open period - which would have a very substantial impact on greenhouse gas emissions and climate change #SpeakUp #ClimateChangeIsReal

Today’s @newsandstar splash from me on David Attenborough’s deep dismay over plans to move forward with a coal mine in West Cumbria!

“I find it hard to exaggerate the peril,”

“This is the new extinction and we are half way through it. We are in terrible, terrible trouble and the longer we wait to do something about it the worse it is going to get.”

#fossilfreesteel Can be a REALITY! Stop taking our fossil fuels out of the ground - DO NOT let our country open a new coal mine!

[Vattenfall EU @VattenfallBXL]

Now #fossilfreesteel will become a reality https://t.co/yUHcgRTAQv @hybrit_project #vattenfall

[Mark Plackett ♻ @MarkPlackett1]

@TimRRead @Greens 9/
2 major industries that are targeted.
A: Replacement of Natural Gas based Steelmaking
B: Replacement of Structural Concrete with #fossilfreesteel
Steelmaking is approx 7% and Concrete 8% of global emissions.
(Should remove 15% total at least)

@StephenGeoRae @ITVborder @WCumbriaMining @CumbriaCC Very true @StephenGeoRae hopefully we can get enough support to stop it in it's tracks!

[Stop the Cumbrian Coal Mine! @stop_coal]

The
@ITVborder report - unfortunately there was a lot missed out on fossil fuels and too much focus from the opposition!
@WCumbriaMining “declined to comment” this only speaks volumes that THEY KNOW the effects that this mine would have on our planet! https://t.co/4QDmzOzDkV

[Stop the Cumbrian Coal Mine! @stop_coal]

News Update: we have received a personal letter from Sir David Attenborough who very much shares our dismay at @WCumbriaMining 's plan to open a new coal mine! 🥰 more to come...

[Stop the Cumbrian Coal Mine! @stop_coal]

On Friday, we marched through Whitehaven, Cumbria in protest against the new proposed coal mine - I know what you’re thinking - “Why on earth would anyone open a coal mine in this age with the climate crisis as it is?” https://t.co/ot8AXVywZh #ClimateChange
