• 22 Aug 2024 We are facing a climate emergency and there can be no room for malign influences on policy making whilst our planet boils. Labour MPs should not be taking dirty money from oil and gas lobbyists. Full stop. I spoke to @Global_Witness https://www.globalwitness.org/en/campaigns/fossil-gas/new-labour-mps-take-over-45000-from-oil-and-gas-lobbyists/ [Source]
• 02 Aug 2024 Thank you @OhGodWhatNowPod for having me on the show! Listen to the episode to hear me explain why Green MPs are going to make all the difference in this parliament, holding Labour to account on issues like the two child benefit cap and action on climate change https://twitter.com/OhGodWhatNowPod/status/1819343577798889883 [Source]

• 25 Jul 2024 It's a relief that we now have an Energy Secretary who understands the climate crisis and is prepared to take the action we need. But action on renewables will be pointless unless it goes hand in hand with home insulation and the rapid transition away from North Sea oil and gas https://twitter.com/EllieChowns/status/1816372425157759107 [Source]
• 18 Jul 2024 @theCCCuk The Govt’s fixation on infinite extractive GDP growth as its overriding goal, rather wellbeing for its citizens and the natural environment, is an indication that, despite superficial signs of change, they are still fundamentally wedded to business and politics as usual. ????. [Source]
• 18 Jul 2024 @theCCCuk ... And without distinct (and achievable) policies like making solar panels compulsory on all new roofs and increasing unharvested forest and woodland by over 50%, there’s an all too real likelihood that 2030 targets won’t be met by this Government. ... [Source]
• 18 Jul 2024 @theCCCuk The Govt's decision to focus on renewable energy, whilst welcome, in no way lets them off the hook for the shameful decision to allow new oil and gas extraction from the Rosebank field - and falls far short of a meaningful green transformation across all sectors of our economy. [Source]
• 18 Jul 2024 .@theCCCuk is clear that the UK needs to take a massive step change to reduce emissions, yet, so far, the new Government hasn’t indicated it’s willing to invest in the kind of win-win measures that will make people’s day to day lives cheaper and the future liveable. ... [Source]
• 18 Jul 2024 A ???? about the latest @theCCCuk report: In this critical decade for the #ClimateEmergency, it’s vital the new Government acts swiftly to make up for previous decades of failings, with a clear plan of action whose timeframes are necessarily dictated by the climate science... https://twitter.com/theCCCuk/status/1813710522426265753 [Source]

• 16 May 2024 “What made me so angry [...] was that the people that will be hurt first and worst will be poorer people in the global south [and] people were counting their lives as being worth less.” I spoke to @BigIssue about why the climate crisis is so important https://www.bigissue.com/news/politics/green-party-carla-denyer-bristol-labour-climate-crisis-trans-rights/ [Source]

• 19 Apr 2024 .@scottishgreens have achieved a lot on climate in their few years in @scotgov, as I explained on #bbcqt last night, e.g. @theCCCuk specifically highlighted @patrickharvie's work on homes And the policies announced yesterday (????) are getting Scotland on track for Net Zero 2045 https://twitter.com/carla_denyer/status/1781352037965299919/video/1 https://twitter.com/scottishgreens/status/1780961437604516242 [Source]
• 08 Feb 2024 @TheDA_UK @UKLabour @Conservatives @LibDemsHealth @TheGreenParty As co-leader of @TheGreenParty, and author of the first Climate Emergency declaration in Europe, I and @TheGreenParty 100% agree. #ClimateCrisisIsAHealthCrisis [Source]
• 02 Feb 2024 Well there you go, Labour has officially abandoned their £28bn climate investment pledge If you want a party that'll actually stick to its climate policies and not give them up at the first sign of trouble, the party you're looking for is @TheGreenParty https://join.greenparty.org.uk https://twitter.com/carla_denyer/status/1753387069424976279/photo/1 https://twitter.com/carla_denyer/status/1753323042736885918 [Source]
• 02 Feb 2024 @TheGreenParty Greens recognise investing in a green future will provide economic, social & environmental security. By decarbonising industry, insulating buildings and ramping up renewables, the UK can cut emissions and bills, and create secure jobs in every corner of the country. #GreenNewDeal [Source]
• 02 Feb 2024 There is more than enough money in the economy to pay for Labour's now-defunct (?) £28bn climate investment. Indeed, @TheGreenParty would go further and faster, investing at least double what Labour originally pledged, so we can turbo charge the transition to a green economy. [Source]
• 30 Jan 2024 @theCCCuk @TheGreenParty We need to call time on all new licences for fossil fuel exploration, accelerate the move towards renewable energy and implement a large scale home insulation programme. That is how the UK can show climate leadership. - me in @guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/jan/30/uk-must-act-urgently-to-meet-climate-commitments-says-watchdog [Source]
• 30 Jan 2024 .@theCCCuk is right, the Govt was sending mixed messages at #COP28 Through its drive to ‘max out’ North Sea fossil fuels they have blown any pretence of global leadership on tackling the climate crisis So has Labour, to be honest @TheGreenParty MPs are needed more than ever... https://twitter.com/carla_denyer/status/1752421959965589697/photo/1 [Source]
• 16 Jan 2024 My colleague @ZackPolanski commissioned a great report last year on how and why to incorporate intersectional gender diversity in both the analysis of climate change impacts, and adaptation plans, published with @grripp & @ucl ???? https://twitter.com/ZackPolanski/status/1739966837084090497 [Source]
• 16 Jan 2024 Diverse teams get better results, that's well-evidenced. So why would Azerbaijan choose to have a COP29 organising committee with 28 men and 0 women? Could it be they're not motivated by getting the best outcome for the #climate, but by something else? https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/jan/15/cop29-climate-summit-committee-appointed-with-28-men-and-no-women-azerbaijan [Source]
• 05 Jan 2024 The climate crisis is here & now, being experienced in the UK, but the PM can't hold on to anyone who has good intentions on the environment. Labour has to be held to account as well - how long before their green champions feel their principles are too compromised to continue? https://twitter.com/CSkidmoreUK/status/1743324376479486007 [Source]
• 03 Jan 2024 ????️ More than 5000 existing homes in Bristol are empty ???? So next week @TonyDDyer and I are taking a motion to @BristolCouncil to use its powers to bring empty homes and offices back into use and speed up stalled sites, tackling the housing crisis & climate crisis together ???????? https://twitter.com/TonyDDyer/status/1742611639092810151 [Source]
• 13 Dec 2023 #COP28 agreed a ‘transition’ from fossil fuels that falls far short of the fair phase-out that's needed. But we can still avoid the worst of the #ClimateEmergency if the UK and other governments step up. The best time to act was decades ago. The next best time is right now. https://twitter.com/antonioguterres/status/1734836109425758248 [Source]
• 11 Dec 2023 "Could"? What f***ing use is that? How can it take 28 UN climate conferences to arrive at merely "could"? "Could" is a suggestion. The earth, and everyone on it, needs something a lot more binding than that. #COP28 @COP28_UAE https://twitter.com/carla_denyer/status/1734322458595909978/photo/1 [Source]
• 05 Dec 2023 #EnergyDay at #COP28: The future of #energy means energy WITHOUT #FossilFuels. That's what must come out of this. Follow @Amelia_Womack, @TheGreenParty former Deputy Leader for updates from the ground - she's part of @globalgreens inspiring all-women international delegation. https://twitter.com/Amelia_Womack/status/1731914218574639197 [Source]
• 01 Dec 2023 At #COP28 @theGreenParty wants to see UK govt: ⚖️ challenge the grotesque 'climate inequality' driving environmental breakdown ????️ commit to policies that keep 1.5° alive ???? lead on fair & managed phase-out of fossil fuels Don't think they will though ???? https://www.greenparty.org.uk/news/2023/11/29/keeping-1.5-alive,-phasing-out-fossil-fuels-and-tackling-climate-inequality-must-be-priorities-for-cop28-climate-talks-say-greens/ [Source]
• 30 Nov 2023 A lot of #COP28 chat today is about private jets. Understandably! A super-rich elite are super-heating the planet and private jets are the pinnacle of climate inequality @TheGreenParty is calling for a ban on private jet take offs/landings at UK airports https://www.greenparty.org.uk/news/2023/11/28/green-party-calls-for-ban-on-private-jets-the-ultimate-symbol-of-climate-inequality/ https://twitter.com/TheGreenParty/status/1729837869777170728 [Source]
• 08 Nov 2023 The Government's failure to set policy that's in line with the clear climate science is also another alarming example of the Conservatives’ allergy to evidence-based policymaking. My full statement here: https://www.greenparty.org.uk/news/2023/11/08/2023-set-to-become-warmest-year-on-record-response-from-co-leader-carla-denyer/ #COP28 2/2 [Source]
• 07 Nov 2023 I think we can all agree the #KingsSpeech was disappointing but not surprising from this govt???? @TheGreenParty's King's Speech would have included: ????#NetZero just transition ????️Renters' rights ⚖️Fairer taxes ????️A human right to clean air ????????‍♀️#RightToRoam ????️‍????#BanConversionTherapy https://twitter.com/CarolineLucas/status/1721845312455672319 [Source]
• 25 Oct 2023 The climate crisis is here, and it's costing the world £13million PER HOUR in extreme weather damage. Next time you hear conservatives complaining about the cost of #NetZero, ask them about the cost of delay. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/oct/09/climate-crisis-cost-extreme-weather-damage-study [Source]
• 27 Sep 2023 Giving the go-ahead to the huge new Rosebank oil field is choosing to make the Climate Emergency worse Labour could stop this. If they confirm now that they'd rescind the drilling licence in government, funding would dry up and the project would become unviable. Will they do it? [Source]
• 26 Sep 2023 It's important to bring people on board with the green transition - Sunak's right about that part. But his Conservative policies do the opposite! So thanks for the lecture Sunak, but actually @thegreenparty has better ideas about how to deliver a #JustTransition: a #GreenNewDeal https://twitter.com/carla_denyer/status/1706597150329602168/video/1 [Source]
• 20 Sep 2023 And yet all day we've heard Labour politician after Labour politician refuse to commit to restoring the #NetZero climate targets that Sunak is busy scrapping. Help us elect more @TheGreenParty MPs so we can hold the future government's feet to the fire. https://donate.greenparty.org.uk https://twitter.com/as_penarth/status/1704443208011276308 [Source]
• 20 Sep 2023 Sunak's #NetZero u-turn speech is chillingly Orwellian He stands at a lectern that says "Long-term decisions for a brighter future" to abandon what limited long-term thinking the Govt had, in favour of short-term efforts to chase votes from climate doubters at the next election. https://twitter.com/carla_denyer/status/1704520871467970672/photo/1 [Source]
• 20 Sep 2023 But Labour has not committed to restoring any of the climate targets Sunak dilutes or scraps???? Once again, this shows why it is so important to elect a group of Green MPs to hold whoever is in government to account, and fight for better protections for both people and planet. [Source]
• 14 Sep 2023 Awful awful news from Libya - thousands, possibly tens of thousands killed. Too early to say with certainty that this is down to rising global temperatures, but evidence does seem to show climate change is making strong storms like this more frequent. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-66799518 [Source]
• 11 Sep 2023 PS. This also feels very relevant to the current debate in Bristol about whether we should have a new underground. Not sure it's the best time, in the jaws of the climate crisis, to create new transport infrastructure below sea level that relies on flooding not being too bad... [Source]
• 11 Sep 2023 My friend did the Great North Run at the weekend. Storms flooded the Metro. Gridlock. This photo was the view from her bus home. This is climate change in action, folks. And it's only the beginning. The #ClimateEmergency demands an emergency response. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-66771953 https://twitter.com/carla_denyer/status/1701234263306231947/photo/1 [Source]
• 08 Sep 2023 The climate, and the UK economy, can't afford for our political leaders to just throw their hands up and say the offshore wind #CfD auction has failed. We must urgently hear from Government what they're going to do to keep the #NetZero transition on track https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/sep/08/biggest-clean-energy-disaster-in-years-uk-auction-secures-no-offshore-windfarms [Source]
• 05 Sep 2023 The de-facto ban on onshore wind will be lifted at last! It's good news, but I'm greeting it more with a ???? than a ???? because the Tories are only saving us from themselves, only on this one policy, and only after 8 years of needlessly shackling the UK's ability to reach Net Zero [Source]
• 02 Aug 2023 @TheGreenParty ⚡️ @TheGreenParty Earth Overshoot Day action plan on energy: - No new oil and gas exploration. Ever - Revoke all licences for oil and gas drilling in the North Sea - Invest in renewable energy, including the infrastructure needed for powering up the country with green electricity [Source]
• 22 Jul 2023 @TheRealJRBPatel @BBCRadio4 @TheGreenParty It shouldn't, because insulating homes lowers bills, gives warmer and more comfortable homes and lowers carbon emissions. Renewable energy is cheaper than gas. In fact when David Cameron 'cut the green crap' last decade it added to our bills: https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-cutting-the-green-crap-has-added-2-5bn-to-uk-energy-bills/ [Source]
• 22 Jul 2023 Woke up to @BBCRadio4 #r4today discussing the risk that the Tories abandon their already weak climate policies, giving in to anti Net Zero culture war types. Signs that parts of Labour are pulling the same way. Never has @TheGreenParty been so necessary https://join.greenparty.org.uk [Source]
• 07 Jul 2023 @BristolUni @UniofBath @cardiffuni @OfficialUoM I'd love to see more UK unis and subjects to sign up to the 1in5 project to focus the considerable efforts of UK students & academics on tackling climate change. If you're a student, staff or alumni, encourage your dept to sign up - contact details here: https://www.bristol.ac.uk/news/2023/june/1in5-climate-initiative.html [Source]
• 19 Jun 2023 No person, organisation, sector or even country can tackle the climate & nature crises on their own – it will take all of us I’m speaking at @BlueEarthSummit this Oct where we'll explore how purpose-led businesses can be part of the solution. https://blueearthsummit.com #besummit23 https://twitter.com/carla_denyer/status/1670674018641526784/photo/1 [Source]
• 16 Jun 2023 Bristol's Advisory Committee on Climate Change - local version of @theCCCuk - has reported on #Bristol's progress tackling the #ClimateEmergency It's very worrying. A repeated refrain is that in many areas of work there's no plan and nobody taking a lead https://www.bristol247.com/climate/news-climate/damning-report-claims-bristol-failing-on-climate-action-progress/ [Source]
• 15 Jun 2023 I took part in a fascinating panel this week for @YorksBylines where we each pitched a policy that should be the next Government's top priority for tackling the climate crisis. Fab example of the benefits of cross-party (and non-party) working, brilliant points from all speakers https://twitter.com/YorksBylines/status/1669021334800670732 [Source]
• 09 Jun 2023 @TheGreenParty The Govt's windfall tax already had a huge loophole, now Hunt wants to weaken it further, giving oil & gas companies a free pass. @TheGreenParty Dirty Profits Tax would make polluters pay while protecting everyone else as we transition to net zero. More: https://www.greenparty.org.uk/news/2023/06/09/greens-call-for-tighter-windfall-tax-on-oil-and-gas-companies/ [Source]
• 08 Jun 2023 I was pleased how receptive @BristolCouncil's top scrutiny committee were to statements from me & @AdblockBristol this wk It's time to update the Council’s advertising policy to include a ban on ads that make climate change worse. Just like we don't allow ads for smoking anymore https://twitter.com/AdblockBristol/status/1666844015172497411 [Source]
• 10 May 2023 Incredibly distressing to see death toll still rising in the Congo The increase in floods & landslides like this is a clear result of climate change. The worst effects are often in countries like DRC that contributed the least to carbon emissions. Deeply unfair and heartbreaking https://twitter.com/BBCWorld/status/1655612588103802881 [Source]
• 28 Mar 2023 The @scottishgreens & @theSNP are working together in #Holyrood, tackling #CostOfLiving and the #ClimateCrisis with policies including free bus travel for young people and investment in energy efficiency. Policies we could have here too, with @thegreenparty. #WantGreenVoteGreen https://twitter.com/carla_denyer/status/1640750209889075200/video/1 [Source]
• 22 Feb 2023 Research from Australia: #ClimateEmergency Declarations lead to stronger #climate response from local government https://climateemergencydeclaration.org/australia-declarations-lead-to-stronger-climate-response-from-local-government/ This research (from just under a year ago, but new to me) is encouraging, it shows that declarations DO catalyse a stronger climate response. [Source]
• 02 Feb 2023 For the last year @TheGreenParty has been calling for a Dirty Profits Tax, which would have raised billions and served as the first step towards a proper Carbon Tax. Shell's record profits now make the case for a #CarbonTax undeniable Me in @Independent: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/shell-profits-energy-prices-gas-b2274211.html [Source]
• 01 Feb 2023 To make matters worse, 20 other airports are planning #AirportExpansion and watched this case closely. It could open the floodgates to a huge increase in CO2 emissions @baancc will try to take this to the Court of Appeal. With all my heart I hope they win https://www.bristol247.com/news-and-features/news/bristol-airport-expansion-given-green-light-by-high-court/ [Source]
• 31 Jan 2023 Bristol Airport expansion allowed by the High Court. This is a devastating outcome. It tramples on local democracy and would mean 1000s of extra flights producing a million tonnes of CO2 equivalents every year. @baancc are going to try to take it to the Court of Appeal. https://twitter.com/carla_denyer/status/1620392843960545281/photo/1 [Source]
• 30 Jan 2023 Great to have @CarolineLucas in #Bristol last week. We visited orgs tackling childhood inequality (@Young_Bristol) and climate change & air pollution (@EcoMoveElectric) then lunch at @GrainBarge.

• 09 Dec 2022 This is a very important step in #Bristol’s decarbonisation, I’m really pleased to see it happen. City Leap will lead to hundreds of £ms of investment, potentially £1billion. However estimates show we’ll need 10x that to meet carbon neutrality... ???? https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-news/bristol-city-leap-deal-signed-7906052#amp-readmore-target [Source]

• 13 Nov 2022 A thrill to meet @lukejerram today and see his new #OilFountain artwork. It's a disconcerting metaphor for how society, once built around water, is now arguably built around oil. Creatives have a big role in tackling climate change, by helping us see the problem & the solutions. https://twitter.com/carla_denyer/status/1591860529819164672/photo/1 [Source]
• 11 Nov 2022 @bbcnickrobinson @BBCRadio4 @BBCNews @BBCSounds .@bbcnickrobinson and I talked about climate change, inclusive feminism, why I made the jump from engineering to politics, why I wear a #WhitePoppy with my red one, and why a particular school teacher had such a big impact on where I am now. Not much then! https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001f4lb [Source]
• 07 Nov 2022 What on earth? Just got out of a meeting and opened the @BBCNews #COP27 live coverage stream to see what I'd missed (wasn't able to watch Sunak's speech live) and it's playing me blues music alongside a scrolling list of the days' events?! This is a most surreal holding page... https://twitter.com/carla_denyer/status/1589708474937536515/video/1 [Source]
• 11 Oct 2022 In fact, UK land use needs to change a lot if we are to reduce our carbon emissions to #NetZero. This graph from @centre_alt_tech's #ZeroCarbonBritain report shows the land for feeding livestock goes down, land for carbon capture, energy and food for human consumption goes up. https://twitter.com/carla_denyer/status/1579828715319885827/photo/1 [Source]
• 21 Sep 2022 To bring bills and emissions down for good, Govt support for businesses MUST be smarter and more targeted than just a blanket cap on wholesale energy costs. More than 100 UK businesses have called on Govt to prioritise energy efficiency, renewables, & industrial decarbonisation. https://twitter.com/BusinessGreen/status/1572451628128542722 [Source]
• 15 Sep 2022 @PhilipHammondUK Govt plans for more North Sea oil & gas and fracking undermine both our climate targets and the UK economy. A rapid transition away from fossil fuels is the best way to tackle soaring energy bills and help the economy. Renewables, not fossils, promise a brighter future. [Source]
• 15 Sep 2022 In 2019 @PhilipHammondUK, then chancellor, claimed going net zero by 2050 would cost the UK more than £1 trillion, hinting the country couldn’t afford this. This study shows the opposite: Switching to renewables could SAVE the world £10.2 trillion by 2050 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-62892013 [Source]
• 07 Sep 2022 What the country's top climate scientists are saying is the same as what @TheGreenParty is saying: The solutions to the energy price crisis and the climate crisis are THE SAME SOLUTIONS. More renewables. More insulation. Less fossil fuels. Pronto. https://twitter.com/piersforster/status/1567403689027010562 [Source]
• 07 Sep 2022 .@theCCCuk to PM @trussliz: ????️ "Renewables are cheapest form of electricity generation. Onshore wind & solar have potential to be deployed fastest and reduce our reliance on natural gas sooner” Odds that new Sec of State for Business & Energy Jacob Rees-Mogg will listen? ???????????? https://twitter.com/guardianeco/status/1567287830640205827 [Source]
• 05 Sep 2022 Liz #Truss being selected as Prime Minister by such a small and unrepresentative group of people is a disaster for the UK, and the climate. Her plans to encourage more North Sea oil & gas does nothing to help households this winter. But it will absolutely fuel the climate crisis [Source]
• 04 Aug 2022 The candidates seem to be competing on who can propose the stupidest and most dangerous climate policies. With heatwaves, floods, crop failures and environmental refugees, it's just not possible to turn our back on the climate crisis.

• 27 Jul 2022 The best way of bringing down the #CostOfLiving and tackling the #ClimateCrisis is to invest in insulating homes, massively ramping up renewable energy, while providing people with the immediate financial support they need now. #Fracking is an expensive and dangerous distraction.

• 13 Jul 2022 @GWPF_org @DeSmogUK It's clear that the climate and environment are simply not safe in Conservative hands. This is why we need an election, so the public (who - polling shows - have a stronger appetite for bold climate policies than Tory *or* Labour MPs) can vote for #ClimateEmergency action! [Source]
• 05 Jul 2022 "If you want to do one thing about climate change: Vote. "And, if you’re a kid and you can’t vote yet, make sure your parents vote. Hassle them." - @BillNye the Science Guy Absolutely agree. Thanks Bill! ????????️???? https://twitter.com/Independent/status/1544303220872429574 [Source]
• 26 May 2022 Sunak's #WindfallTax is missing a trick, it incentivises further O&G investment & fails to incentivise renewables that can both reduce bills and tackle the climate crisis. It is another missed opportunity to shape a clean green economy for the future. We need a #DirtyProfitsTax [Source]
• 03 May 2022 Inflation sky-rocketing, millions of children in poverty. There's a horrific war in Europe, and the climate emergency is only getting more urgent. Yet the main parties are chronically failing to deal with the problems we face Greens have a better plan... https://www.standard.co.uk/comment/local-elections-2022-green-party-answers-failing-carla-denyer-b997632.html [Source]
• 27 Apr 2022 The plan to give the green light to a new coal mine in Cumbria is reckless in the extreme. The Tories are not fit to govern UK govt as #COP26 president urges other countries to take climate action while backing the most polluting of all fossil fuels ????☠️ https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/cumbria-coal-mine-gove-woodhouse-b2065013.html [Source]
• 07 Apr 2022 Last week @abdulstweets gave me a tour of @EastonMosque in Bristol. He showed us the beautiful renovations and shared the brilliant climate work they've been doing including the award-winning 'Muslim's Guide to Climate Change', which you can download here: https://eastsidecommunitytrust.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Muslims-guide-to-Climate-Change.pdf https://twitter.com/carla_denyer/status/1511973456107216898/photo/1 [Source]
• 08 Mar 2022 There's no such thing as a ‘climate change pass’ - unfortunately climate change doesn’t wait for politics. If the PM was serious about reducing reliance on Russian gas he'd start a massive investment in renewables, energy efficiency, etc. More from me: https://www.greenparty.org.uk/news/2022/03/07/climate-sceptic-mps-are-helping-to-fuel-putin%E2%80%99s-war-machine,-greens-warn/ https://twitter.com/Steven_Swinford/status/1500755646328844288 [Source]
