• 12 Mar 2024 ✈️A pleasure speaking at @SustAviation's Parliamentary Reception yesterday! As we continue to combat climate change, aviation will play a vital part in reaching net zero and the joint dedication of Government and industry is helping us create a sector fit for the future 🍃 https://twitter.com/AnthonyBrowneMP/status/1767488532510056812/photo/1 [Source]
• 07 Mar 2024 Speaking at @EFWConference today, I shared how waste is transforming transport 🚗✈️ From powering planes with SAF to advanced fuels for trucks, waste that might've ended up in landfill is helping create a cleaner, brighter Britain & playing a key part in reaching Net Zero🍃 https://twitter.com/AnthonyBrowneMP/status/1765759597619335360/photo/1 [Source]
• 18 Feb 2024 Those in denial about the UK’s success in tackling climate change - and those keen to talk the UK down - often say we have only cut our emissions faster than any other major country because we now import things rather than make them. Untrue. https://twitter.com/AnthonyBrowneMP/status/1759159002007568632/photo/1 [Source]
• 08 Feb 2024 Yesterday, I met @RHARJSmith & the Road Haulage Association to discuss decarbonisation & air quality on our roads🚛🚌 Collaboration between Government & industry is crucial in reaching our shared net zero goals & together we can transform the way goods are moved across the UK https://twitter.com/AnthonyBrowneMP/status/1755626713638162603/photo/1 [Source]
• 01 Feb 2024 Busy day at @Gatwick_Airport: 🚆Officially opened the new concourse at the airport train station, the final step of a major revamp ♿️ Saw firsthand the lounge dedicated to people with reduced mobility 🚗 Visited a new area dedicated to EV charging, powered by 100% net zero energy https://twitter.com/AnthonyBrowneMP/status/1753160918911828224/photo/1 [Source]
• 18 Jan 2024 Delighted to speak with those from across the motorcycle industry yesterday, where we discussed the routes to decarbonising mopeds and motorbikes – a vital step on our way to net zero https://twitter.com/AnthonyBrowneMP/status/1747970088978796657/photo/1 [Source]
• 14 Jan 2024 @harmsy @VoteClimateUK This is of course rubbish. For example, I steered through and voted for the zero emission vehicle mandate, requiring 80% of new car sales to be zero emission by 2030 - the biggest single climate measure the UK has taken. We are the first G20 country to halve emissions. [Source]
• 03 Jan 2024 Today our zero emission vehicle mandate becomes law 📝 Great to see our EV infrastructure in action at @bppulseuk's new Pimlico hub this morning, where I met with drivers who are using their ultra-rapid EV chargers to get around🔌 https://www.gov.uk/government/news/pathway-for-zero-emission-vehicle-transition-by-2035-becomes-law https://twitter.com/AnthonyBrowneMP/status/1742546731030524008/photo/1 [Source]
• 29 Nov 2023 Today I led the legislation on the Zero Emission Vehicle mandate – backing British drivers, supporting our world leading auto industry and providing certainty for investment. Electric cars already make up 16% of the new car market - and will now reach 80% by 2030 🚗🇬🇧 [Source]
• 24 Nov 2023 ✅ Boosting UK's green industry ✅ Supporting thousands of jobs ✅A real vote of confidence in the UK's electric car rollout Nissan's investment in Sunderland's electric car production is great news, driving us closer to our net zero goals. 👇👇https://www.independent.co.uk/business/nissan-to-produce-two-new-electric-car-models-in-sunderland-b2452773.html [Source]
• 17 Nov 2023 It is an absolute honour to have been appointed as the minister for aviation, decarbonisation of transport and future of transport. My remit covers airports, sustainable aviation, electric cars trains and trucks, autonomous vehicles, drones, E-bikes and space ports. A lot to do! https://twitter.com/AnthonyBrowneMP/status/1725412185008951564/photo/1 [Source]
• 12 Oct 2023 This is just pure criminal vandalism, even if it is supposedly done for a good cause. As their own millionaire backer has said, Just Stop Oil’s criminal actions are turning the British public against the cause of tackling climate change. https://www.cambridgeindependent.co.uk/news/amp/arrest-made-as-orange-paint-sprayed-over-king-s-college-cam-9334789/ [Source]
• 20 Sep 2023 The UK has cut per capita CO2 emissions by nearly 40% since the Conservatives came to power in 2010, far more than any other G7 country and roughly twice the G7 average. https://twitter.com/AnthonyBrowneMP/status/1704411760453648573/photo/1 [Source]
• 09 Jul 2023 Just Stop Oil are a disgrace, rightly disowned by their own funders for destroying support for tackling climate change. The public are repulsed by such narcissistic extremism. https://twitter.com/JustStop_Oil/status/1677745464903454722 [Source]
• 11 May 2023 Wind is now the UK’s biggest source of electric power, overtaking gas in Q1. Coal was the biggest when Tories came to power in 2010, but will be phased out next year. Wind farms are growing rapidly as we head to the target of net zero electricity by 2035. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/ [Source]
• 01 May 2023 While others denounce, we deliver: since the Conservatives came to power in 2010, we have cut CO2 emissions by nearly 40%, far more than any other G7 country. A record to be proud of! [and no, it is not because we exported production overseas - that makes little difference] https://twitter.com/ab4scambs/status/1652971675531587586/photo/1 [Source]
• 19 Apr 2023 The UK’s capita CO2 emissions are down almost 60% since the peak year of 1971. They are now the lowest since 1858, almost 2 centuries ago. Only a small part of that drop is because of production moving overseas. Let’s now cut the last 40%. We can get to Net Zero. https://twitter.com/ab4scambs/status/1648581446175432705/photo/1 [Source]
• 30 Oct 2022 I think the PM is wrong not to let King Charles go to COP27. The King has been leading world opinion on climate change, and his presence will help ensure a successful summit. It is essential that the UK retains its international leadership on reaching net zero. [Source]
• 21 Apr 2022 The unacceptable fuel shortages caused understandable anguish across South Cambridgeshire - I am strongly committed to tackling climate change, but naive and dangerous behavior such as we have seen recently just undermines public support. https://twitter.com/CEN_HQ/status/1517064831945293824 [Source]
• 06 Apr 2022 The UK cannot much influence international oil and gas prices, whether it fracks or not. The answer to the current crisis is less electricity produced from fossil fuels – not pressing pause on Net Zero! https://twitter.com/EnvironmentAPPG/status/1511644160540950534 [Source]
• 15 Mar 2022 🌍Net-zero is a path to energy independence. @GregHands was absolutely right in response to my question earlier. Net-zero is not part of the problem, it is part of the solution when it comes to both the transition and to energy security. So let's double down! https://twitter.com/ab4scambs/status/1503748216138911751/video/1 [Source]
• 09 Mar 2022 One of the strongest arguments for net-zero, apart from climate change, is national security - we should not be dependent on energy supplies from countries that don’t share our values and may not always be friends. 👇👇 https://twitter.com/EnvironmentAPPG/status/1501536716334718976 [Source]
• 23 Feb 2022 Thank you @SimonClarkeMP for joining the @EnvironmentAPPG this morning to discuss greening the economy. As you said, it would be positively irrational for us to retreat from our net zero commitments - now is the time to double down! https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/simon-clarke-treasury-government-tories-cop26-b984153.html [Source]
• 21 Feb 2022 Very interesting and enlightening discussion! The widespread understanding of the need to act on climate change now needs to be turned into support for individual policies, especially those which are tricker and affect people’s daily lives. https://twitter.com/ClimateAPPG/status/1495846138762739712 [Source]
• 25 Jan 2022 More gas isn't the answer to the gas price crisis. We need to expand our domestic supplies of renewable energy while investing in the tech to store it, protecting ourselves from the volatile gas markets. More on the @GreenAllianceUK blog below 👇👇 https://twitter.com/EnvironmentAPPG/status/1485582010206806016 [Source]
• 21 Jan 2022 Great to visit @AnglianWater's site near Haslingfield today with Peter Simpson & Robin Price - long conversations about climate change, water quality, and sewage discharge. Glad they have confirmed there were no unlicensed discharges at Cambs sites! https://twitter.com/AnglianWater/status/1484474179760054275 [Source]
• 05 Nov 2021 Just attended a really interesting UK government briefing on negotiations at #COP26. We have had progress on methane, deforestation and financing. But we are only half way through, and the priority now is agreeing delivery. There is an optimistic atmosphere. 🤞 🤞 🤞 https://twitter.com/ab4scambs/status/1456581768501506052/photo/1 [Source]
• 26 Oct 2021 Great to be joined by the makers of Earth Emergency - their film explores how human activity sets in motion Earth’s natural mechanisms, releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere & pushing the climate to tipping point.   Thanks very much for joining us and the @APPCCG! https://twitter.com/EnvironmentAPPG/status/1453016080214073354 [Source]
• 14 Jul 2021 🌍 Very much welcome the announcement of the Transport Decarbonisation Plan. If we want to continue to travel, and we surely do, we must do all we can to decarbonise - and all the better if it leads to thousands of new green jobs! Just one of the ways we will #BuildBackGreener https://twitter.com/grantshapps/status/1415228501326696453 [Source]
• 20 Apr 2021 Great chat with @GreenAllianceUK on how the government can continue the push towards Net Zero. Link below to listen in👇 https://twitter.com/GreenAllianceUK/status/1384405566752280581 [Source]
• 31 Mar 2021 This is good news. We have to make sure all our international policies are joined up with our domestic ones to help the world reach net zero. https://twitter.com/KwasiKwarteng/status/1377244574121349122 [Source]
• 17 Feb 2021 The data is clear: the UK really is world leading in the battle against climate change! https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/we-are-trailblazers-in-curbing-emissions-whatever-green-lobby-says-zjgdbhmxl [Source]
• 12 Feb 2021 The UK’s per capita CO2 emissions are dropping rapidly, and now the lowest since 1853 (apart from one year in the Great Depression). A great achievement, but a lot more to do to reach Net Zero by 2050. https://twitter.com/ab4scambs/status/1360131105047904256/photo/1 [Source]
• 11 Jan 2021 @RishiSunak is spot on - we have a unique opportunity to lead the greening of the financial system. Green finance has a crucial role to play if we want to build back better, and I look forward to working with him as we transition to a net zero economy by 2050. https://twitter.com/ab4scambs/status/1348688559750995969/video/1 [Source]
• 07 Dec 2020 I have always maintained that tackling climate change doesn’t mean giving up the things you love. All we need to do is be able to order a beer in a pub again... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-55207597 [Source]
• 16 Oct 2020 Great to be at @TWI_Ltd to discuss the challenges of the pandemic and the opportunities for their Industrial Net Zero Innovation Accelerator (INZIA) programme, which will support the UK's ambition for a low carbon future. I look forward to supporting their vision for growth. https://twitter.com/ab4scambs/status/1317080662453702656/photo/1 [Source]
• 13 Aug 2020 Great to contribute to these reports - our focus should not only be on a low-carbon economy, but also utilising emerging carbon capture technology alongside innovative building and farming methods - and tree planting 🌳 - to remove greenhouse gases. https://onenationconservatives.co.uk/2020/08/13/building-back-greener-paper/ [Source]
• 10 Mar 2020 A fascinating session with Mike Thompson (2nd left), chief economist of the Committee on Climate Change, speaking to the Environment APPG, which I chair. He set out the steps ahead to reach net zero by 2020. With fellow MPs @Laura__Farris and @JeromeMayhew https://twitter.com/ab4scambs/status/1237441571542437889/photo/1 [Source]
• 16 Feb 2020 Why are @CambridgeCops closing Fen Causeway and Trumpington Road rather than clearing them and keeping them open? However well intentioned, demonstrators cannot be allowed to flagrantly break the law. They are not helping the cause of climate change but damaging it. [Source]
• 15 Feb 2020 I have publicly praised Extinction Rebellion for pushing climate change up the political agenda. But they should not break the law. Protestors should be treated equally by police - according to the law - irrespective of what cause they are pushing. [Source]
• 04 Dec 2019 It is great that CO2 emissions are falling in the US and Europe - but global emissions are still rising because they are growing so rapidly in China, India and elsewhere. America and Europe cut emissions by closing coal‑fired power stations https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/b232591a-1619-11ea-9c0b-093df0cbf5ab [Source]
• 06 Nov 2019 Almost exactly 20 years ago, I broke the global exclusive that 1999 was the hottest year of the last millennium. Climate change is real, man made and we have a duty to our children to stop it. https://amp.theguardian.com/world/1999/nov/14/millennium.uk [Source]
