• 16 Nov 2024 The government's £22bn bet on Carbon Capture & Storage would be far better spent on capturing CO2 from hard-to-abate industry and nature-based climate solutions. Labour's plans are a fig-leaf for fossil fuels. Read my column on @BusinessGreen ???? https://www.businessgreen.com/opinion/4379323/uk-government-wrong-bet-carbon-capture-storage [Source]

• 30 Oct 2024 Yet again, a Chancellor delivers a budget which makes absolutely no mention of the two biggest crises facing us - climate breakdown & nature degradation We will not *restore stability & rebuild Britain* if the natural world we all depend on is ignored #Budget2024 [Source]

• 07 Oct 2024 Despite a landscape of failed #CCS projects around the world, the Govt is throwing £22bn at the technology - allowing fossil fuel companies to pursue new polluting projects There is a nature-based alternative. Why isn't the Govt looking at that? https://x.com/AdrianRamsay/status/1843359681378693139/video/1 [Source]

I'm calling on the broadcasters to organise a climate debate so parties are held to account on the environment. #GE2024 https://twitter.com/_wearepossible/status/1797529588526092741 [Source]

• 27 Jan 2024 A recent report by MPs on the Public Accounts Committee only underlines what I and @TheGreenParty have been saying for some time: the Government must get its act together and come up with a plan for living with climate change and living with flooding. [Source]
• 16 Jan 2024 I have many conversations with young people about climate change - and indeed with older people concerned for their grandchildren's future. Thanks @KayleighPoacher and @BBCNorfolk for highlighting this issue. [Source]
• 16 Jan 2024 I'm not surprised that climate change is Children's Word of the Year. Young people I speak to are deeply concerned about their future - as are growing numbers of adults Political leaders have a moral responsibility to seriously step up climate action now https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/67986655 [Source]
• 24 Nov 2023 “The cost of the government’s inaction on flood defences and climate change will inevitably be borne by ordinary people.” Read the full article by @BylinesEast reporting on my call to ban building houses on flood plains. ⬇️ https://eastangliabylines.co.uk/greens-demand-action-on-flood-risk/ [Source]
• 22 Nov 2023 Lots of tinkering in #AutumnStatement but no real action to end cost of living crisis, restore public services & tackle climate crisis People are struggling to access GP & dentist, while demand for foodbanks is high. Chancellor is failing to tackle issues facing ordinary people [Source]
• 21 Nov 2023 Stark warning from UN Secretary General that the world is heading for 'hellish' future on current emissions trends Governments must be far bolder in commitments on carbon reduction and climate finance ahead of #COP28 - & UK government must show leadership https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/nov/20/world-facing-hellish-3c-of-climate-heating-un-warns-before-cop28?CMP=share_btn_tw [Source]
• 15 Nov 2023 We need adequate funding, greater focus on natural flood management methods - and a ban on building on flood plains. And we need to tackle the root cause of more frequent flooding - climate breakdown. See my full statement here: https://www.greenparty.org.uk/news/2023/11/15/investment-in-flood-defences-inadequate-to-cope-with-climate-breakdown-warn-greens/ [Source]
• 25 Oct 2023 "This is not the first time East Anglia has flooded but climate change experts are shouting from the rooftops that if we don’t tackle the issue we will see what should be ‘once in a generation’ events increasingly often" @LowJournal covers my call for stronger action on flooding https://twitter.com/lowjournal/status/1716761482522935503 [Source]
• 24 Oct 2023 These so-called ‘once in a generation’ events will become increasingly frequent if we don't act now to tackle climate breakdown. We need Green MPs in Parliament making the case for climate action and protecting communities. I spoke to @BBCLookEast about #StormBabet ⬇️ https://twitter.com/AdrianRamsay/status/1716849782126174423/video/1 [Source]
• 21 Oct 2023 Govt is letting us down. Not taking the issue of climate change seriously - reigning in on existing commitments - and failing to deliver long term flood risk management plan to improve natural flood defences and reassess planning regs which allow building on flood plains. [Source]
• 21 Oct 2023 I commend the emergency services, working tirelessly in v difficult conditions, and all those, including Green Cllrs, helping people in aftermath. Not the first time East Anglia has flooded but experts tell us if we don't tackle climate change it's going to happen more often. [Source]
• 20 Oct 2023 I'm thinking of everyone affected by #StormBabet. So sorry to hear of homes flooded and people stranded in Suffolk and Norfolk. In #Eye today I spoke to @SuffolkFire who are doing great work. Lots of locals asking - when will government take threat of climate change seriously? https://twitter.com/AdrianRamsay/status/1715439462816022844/photo/1 [Source]
• 05 Oct 2023 “We need leadership from government in how we tackle the climate crisis, how we restore nature, how we clean up our waterways. And the government is just woefully lacking and now pulling us in the wrong direction.” My @BBCLookEast interview on the #Halesworth climate conference. https://twitter.com/AdrianRamsay/status/1709962399745454470/video/1 [Source]

• 15 Aug 2023 Sunak and Starmer are backtracking on climate pledges. But many in their own parties warn this will cost them votes. There's so much we can do to cut emissions while tackling the cost of living. The climate emergency must not become a political football. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/well-lose-seats-if-rishi-sunak-dilutes-net-zero-warn-blue-wall-tories-b755dsz6n [Source]
• 11 Aug 2023 Investing in renewable energy now will create sustainable green jobs and support workers in the oil and gas industry to transfer their skills and experiences to the energy sources of the future. [Source]
• 11 Aug 2023 You have to question how serious the Conservatives are in tackling the climate crisis when the Cabinet contains people deriving financial benefit from fossil fuel company shares of any value. [Source]
• 27 Jul 2023 Heatwaves and wildfires are spreading in Europe Climate breakdown is here, yet Conservative and Labour leaders are backsliding on climate commitments The climate emergency is too important to become a party political battle My article @BylineTimes ???? https://bylinetimes.com/2023/07/26/the-climate-emergency-is-too-important-to-be-a-party-political-battle/ [Source]
• 20 Jun 2023 Labour's failure to oppose the Rosebank oil field is unforgiveable - a betrayal of everyone suffering the effects of the #ClimateEmergency now and in the future. The Green Party is clear that we oppose this new oil field. #StopRosebank #GetGreensElected https://www.greenparty.org.uk/news/2023/06/19/labours-green-light-to-rosebank-oil-field-simply-unforgivable-say-greens/ [Source]
• 09 Jun 2023 The figure also includes £12bn toward renewables and £14bn toward rail, walking and cycling. Labour's fickle response to the climate crisis shows more than ever why we need more Green MPs elected at the next General Election. #GetGreensElected https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-65853872 [Source]
• 09 Jun 2023 Our pledges are based on what's needed to tackle the joint climate and cost of living crises. The numbers need to add up both for the climate and the budget. We have pledged to invest ~£100bn/year for 10 years to decarbonise our economy, including £25bn on home insulation. [Source]
• 09 Jun 2023 It's true that the Conservatives have damaged our economy, but we're in a climate emergency, seeing environmental breakdown at an alarming rate, so this is no time for Labour to roll back their pledge to invest in the green industries that provide the jobs we need for the future. [Source]
• 12 May 2023 ⚖ The #LossAndDamage fund established at #COP27 is key for addressing #ClimateJustice. As @christian_aid highlights, a small tax on the wealthiest would more than pay for the UK's contribution. Time for progressive taxation. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/may/12/wealth-tax-of-05-could-cover-uks-share-of-loss-and-damage-fund-says-charity [Source]
• 10 May 2023 The Climate & Ecology Bill is reintroduced in the House of Commons today. Great work by @cebill_now & @CarolineLucas who co-sponsors it. This is a #ClimateEmergency. There couldn't be a more important time to pass the #CEBill. Please add your support: https://www.zerohour.uk/bill https://twitter.com/AdrianRamsay/status/1656276015990157312/photo/1 [Source]
• 29 Mar 2023 Climate adaptation "lacking across the board" according to the Government’s own advisers, @theCCCuk. We're "strikingly unprepared" for climate-related threats to food & water security, transport, health, business & agriculture. More political will needed to act with real urgency. [Source]
• 20 Mar 2023 The #IPCC paints a grim picture of the future if action to tackle the climate emergency isn’t taken immediately. This report should be an alarm bell for governments to step up and take action now to embrace a liveable future. https://www.greenparty.org.uk/news/2023/03/20/green-party-response-to-ipcc-synthesis-report/ [Source]
• 07 Feb 2023 A carbon tax would target these big polluters and provide the funding to move us towards a renewable energy economy and a mass home insulation programme. This would cut domestic energy bills and keep people warm. [Source]
• 07 Feb 2023 Companies like BP, Shell and other big polluters have been responsible for three quarters of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions since 1988 while BP has today announced record profits. [Source]
• 07 Feb 2023 A carbon tax is one of the greatest levers we can apply to help shift us towards the clean green economy we need in order to cut climate wrecking emissions and create a fairer healthier society. [Source]
• 07 Feb 2023 The PM can reorganise govt departments but we really need a change of policy. The new Dept for Energy must focus all effort on delivering net zero We need a carbon tax on grotesque profits of fossil fuel companies to fund huge expansion of renewables & home insulation #reshuffle [Source]
• 23 Jan 2023 If the Conservatives really wanted to be Green, they would also pinch our popular policies such as tackling the climate emergency, standing up for public services and supporting the least well off in society. But unfortunately there seems little prospect of them doing that. [Source]
• 12 Jan 2023 What we need is consistent long-term policies that support investment, develop green skills and enable transition to a thriving green economy. That's what many other European countries have done and has put them light years ahead of UK in the path to net zero and a fairer society [Source]
• 12 Jan 2023 The govt's own net zero tsar rightly highlights @RishiSunak's stop-start policies are holding back the green economy. On home insulation, renewable energy, public transport and nature-friendly farming, govt support has been patchy and woeful for too long https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jan/12/rishi-sunak-stop-start-policies-harming-uk-green-investment-says-net-zero-tsar [Source]
• 02 Jan 2023 We’ve seen attacks on nature intensify, a cruel and destructive immigration system, another failed climate conference It would be easy to enter 2023 feeling gloomy – but there’s lots of cause for hope too We’re entering 2023 hopeful and ambitious for all we can achieve together https://twitter.com/TheGreenParty/status/1609215930474577923 [Source]
• 02 Jan 2023 “The fossil fuel giants have shown they are not willing to change their actions, so it is vital that governments step up.” BP criticised over plan to spend billions more on fossil fuels than green energy https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/dec/27/bp-plan-spend-billions-fossil-fuels-green-energy-oil-gas-renewables?CMP=share_btn_tw [Source]
• 17 Dec 2022 We must treat the ecological emergency with the same urgency as the climate emergency also demands. That's why @TheGreenParty is calling for a Rights of Nature Act to extend legal protections for wildlife and habitats and a Commission for Nature to oversee the Act’s enforcement. [Source]
• 20 Nov 2022 The #LossAndDamage agreement is an historic step towards #ClimateJustice - and rich countries like the UK must now put the money on the table. But overall #COP27 has failed us by making no tangible progress in commitments towards eliminating fossil fuels. https://www.greenparty.org.uk/news/2022/11/20/historic-loss-and-damage-agreement-at-cop27-must-now-be-honoured-by-rich-countries,-greens-warn/ [Source]
• 09 Nov 2022 While @MattHancock is playing in slime in the jungle, his constituents are suffering from the cost of living crisis. Rocketing mortgages & rents, NHS under huge strain, the climate crisis - MPs should be focused on addressing the big issues. Suffolk deserves better #ImACeleb https://twitter.com/AdrianRamsay/status/1590457378344144896/photo/1 [Source]
• 08 Nov 2022 The #MidtermElections2022 are an important moment for the US. I hope that successful candidates will work to heal the social and cultural divides, and back real action to support people on low incomes and tackle the climate emergency [Source]
• 07 Nov 2022 Rishi Sunak says Glasgow marked one last chance to keep temperature rises to 1.5C. But the UK government is failing to deliver its own promises on emissions and on finance for vulnerable countries. He must show leadership on these issues and end subsidies for fossil fuels #COP27 [Source]
• 07 Nov 2022 The government must come clean and reveal exactly how far short the UK has fallen in providing its promised share of climate finance for vulnerable countries. The whole COP process risks failure unless richer countries deliver climate justice by paying their fair share. #COP27 https://twitter.com/TheGreenParty/status/1589643750598651904 [Source]
• 04 Nov 2022 Pleased to hear #SizewellC is under review. It would be a burden and risk, not a solution: it would take 10-17 years to start producing energy But the govt must instead invest in solutions that can address energy & climate crisis, such as renewables & nationwide home insulation [Source]
• 31 Oct 2022 .@RishiSunak must show global leadership at #COP27 The UN says that only an urgent transformation of society and our economy can avoid disastrous climate impacts. If our government rises to this challenge we can show global leadership and create a better society at the same time https://twitter.com/TheGreenParty/status/1587110460498886657 [Source]
• 28 Oct 2022 It's totally outrageous that @RishiSunak doesn't intend to go to #COP27 and is keeping in place the instruction from Liz Truss to King Charles not to go. In a week of another very stark UN climate report, the UK needs to show global leadership on climate https://www.independent.co.uk/independentpremium/uk-news/king-charles-cop27-climate-summit-b2213359.html [Source]
• 25 Oct 2022 So Rishi Sunak promises to deliver 2019 Con manifesto. Does that include their pledges to reduce cost of living, give public services the resources needed, increase number of nurses, invest in nature & deliver on net zero? On all these govt policy is taking us in wrong direction [Source]
• 14 Oct 2022 To get the economic stability we need and start to tackle the cost-of-living and climate crises, we need a change of direction and the public must have its say. [Source]
• 10 Oct 2022 Solar panels can be deployed extremely quickly and offer some of the cheapest electricity, helping to tackle both the cost of living crisis and the climate emergency. [Source]
• 07 Oct 2022 The most effective and sustainable way to ensure energy security is to invest in insulating houses and massively ramping up renewable energy. New oil and gas exploration is an expensive and dangerous road to planetary destruction. [Source]
• 07 Oct 2022 The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the International Energy Agency and the United Nations have each warned there can be no new fossil fuel projects if there is to be any chance of keeping global temperature rises under 1.5 degrees. [Source]
• 07 Oct 2022 Deeply distressing to see news of new round of oil & gas exploration. The Govt’s claim that burning ever more fossil fuels will help UK meet its obligations to become net zero has no connection to reality - we truly have stepped through the Looking Glass https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-63163824 [Source]
• 05 Sep 2022 I urge Liz Truss to take a path that helps create a fairer society while tackling the climate crisis. [Source]
• 05 Sep 2022 Her plans to encourage more North Sea oil & gas does nothing to help households this winter. But it will absolutely fuel the climate crisis. We can invest in a cleaner, greener, more affordable future. Whether we do so is a political choice. [Source]
• 05 Sep 2022 Liz #Truss must immediately focus on real action to help people with cost of living crisis while tackling the climate emergency. This must include lowering the energy price cap to October 2021 rate, beginning a mass nationwide insulation programme & investing in renewable energy [Source]
• 28 Jul 2022 To tackle the climate crisis & growing social inequality we need a shift in economic policy. Conservatives & Labour are focusing on growth at all costs but it's the quality of our economy that matters. On Earth Overshoot Day, I'm calling for a rethink ???? https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/jul/28/green-party-urges-tory-leadership-rivals-to-commit-to-tougher-climate-goals-truss-sunak [Source]
• 25 Jul 2022 The Green Party believes it is essential that public services are publicly owned, both in order to guarantee the level of service required to meet society’s needs and help tackle the climate crisis, and to ensure good pay and conditions of those working within them. [Source]
• 20 Jul 2022 Deeply disappointed to see the Government has given go ahead for Sizewell C. The country needs investment in renewables and insulation at scale to address the cost of living and climate crises, not outdated technology that will be a drain on bill payers for the next 75 years [Source]
• 19 Jul 2022 Why on earth is this getting so little coverage?
