• 19 Sep 2023 Hitting net zero is going to be hard. Running away from commitments that get us there is not. It’s weak and it’s a failure. It fails us, it fails future generations, it fails businesses that want to invest. There is no ‘more proportionate’ amount of zero. https://twitter.com/hzeffman/status/1704220177020146122 [Source]
• 14 Apr 2023 Yet another failed scheme on decarbonising heating from the Conservatives, and failing to help people with their energy bills to boot. “It takes a certain type of genius…” Indeed. We’ve surely had enough of “genius” Tory schemes. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/67f7c8fc-da2f-11ed-80bc-e358583c5d62 https://twitter.com/IanSollom/status/1646786254766309377/photo/1 [Source]

• 10 Feb 2023 Rishi Sunak playing 'a reckless game' with CO2 emissions as two more private flights confirmed https://www.libdems.org.uk/press/release?tx_news_pi1%5Baction%5D=detail&tx_news_pi1%5Bcontroller%5D=News&tx_news_pi1%5Bnews%5D=3707&cHash=f7d78e52f217ebe1782a83145c789611 [Source]
• 09 Dec 2022 Bath MP tables amendments to the Financial Services and Markets Bill in a bid to support our Net Zero transition https://ift.tt/7gP1dyX [Source]
• 08 Nov 2022 The Tories ignorance of climate change has forced us cap in hand to the US, says Bath MP https://ift.tt/HAzWEuv [Source]
• 08 Nov 2022 The Prime MInister’s token appearance at COP27 reveals his complacency toward the climate emergency, says Bath MP https://ift.tt/g0zmFOk [Source]
• 05 Nov 2022 Our national security is jeopardised until we stop climate change, Bath MP tells Parliament https://ift.tt/qaXJmBF [Source]
• 02 Nov 2021 Slashing Air Passenger Duty to create same CO2 emissions as 2.3m extra train journeys https://ift.tt/3wbRYIV [Source]
• 02 Nov 2021 The Green Homes Grant was a disaster. Just 45 low-income families in Cambridge and South Cambs benefitted from this scheme before it was scrapped. And now there's nothing to replace it. Gov't simply doesn't care about energy bills or climate change. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/nov/01/green-homes-grant-scheme-helped-just-15000-low-income-households [Source]
• 13 Oct 2021 Still a huge gap to the net-zero 2050 ambition showing in the #WEO21 from the @IEA out today. Much more investment in clean energy needed globally, and wealthy nations step up to help developing ones, e.g. by getting the World Bank and IMF to prioritise clean energy projects. https://twitter.com/fbirol/status/1448136521731641361 [Source]
• 01 Oct 2021 Four broken climate promises by the Conservatives https://ift.tt/3uuniSs [Source]
• 09 Aug 2021 The world is already living with the consequences of man made climate change, but it will get much worse without drastic action. We should not underestimate the challenge but it can be done. Sincerely hope gov'ts around the world heed today's IPCC report. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-58130705 [Source]
• 13 Jul 2021 Breaking a manifesto promise: Cons cut foreign aid in the midst of a *global* pandemic. This cut will cost lives, stop girls going to school and damage projects to help tackle the climate crisis - in the same year we host COP 26. Shameful. https://twitter.com/paulwaugh/status/1414963540092493832 [Source]
• 24 Jun 2021 Electrification of East West Rail is absolutely essential. It’s hard to take the gov’t seriously on climate change commitments when they can’t even rule out the use of diesel trains on a new railway line. Sign the petition ???? https://www.cambridgeshirelibdems.org.uk/electrify_ewr https://twitter.com/BBCSouthNews/status/1407991024383934465 [Source]
• 28 Mar 2021 Incompetence. Just this week the Environmental Audit Committee was urging that the GHG scheme be fixed. Instead, the gov’t give up. ~£1.4bn to help tackle emissions unspent, damaging the growth and confidence of an industry we need to scale up rapidly. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/mar/27/uk-government-scraps-green-homes-grant-after-six-months [Source]
• 26 Mar 2021 Another failure of the Conservatives to take climate change seriously when it comes to actually doing something about it. On the front page of the report: “Global Challenge, Local Action” More like “Local Inaction” under James Palmer and the Tories. https://twitter.com/IanSollom/status/1375386752085590018/photo/1 https://twitter.com/AidanVdeW/status/1375378557950697473 [Source]
• 22 Mar 2021 Improving the energy efficiency of homes is vital to achieving net zero and will require a big ramp up in the capacity to deliver it. Botching the Green Homes Grant is damaging that by hurting the small companies that deliver it. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-56463173 [Source]
• 08 Feb 2021 Greening homes is one of the key ways the UK can help tackle climate change. Disappointing that the gov’t scheme to do so is moving so slowly. Concerning too that the associated bureaucracy is significantly increasing the costs! https://inews.co.uk/news/environment/governments-green-homes-grant-scheme-issuing-vouchers-snails-pace-861835 [Source]
• 23 Jan 2021 “Diesel engines will initially run on the lines, but Mr Shapps said he hoped more environmentally friendly trains ... would replace them in the future.” Some vague aspiration for the future isn’t good enough⁩. EWR should be zero emission from day 1! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-55770529 [Source]

• 29 Nov 2019 On #channel4climatedebate #LibDems showed what it means to lead on tackling the climate emergency. Boris Johnson's failure to even turn up shows his arrogant disregard for the climate crisis facing our planet and how little they want to act on #ClimateChange [Source]

• 07 Nov 2019 The sacrifice made by the Green Party here is enormous. It is very hard it is to stand aside for someone else when you have been working hard for a cause. We share so many of the aims of the Green Party on staying in the EU, tackling climate emergency [Source]
• 05 Nov 2019 It's clear - voting for my brilliant colleague @pippaheylings is the key to Stopping Boris, Stopping Brexit. #VoteLibDem and get Pippa elected - she is passionate remainer, a climate change expert - just what #SouthEastCambs needs #BuildABrighterFuture https://twitter.com/ElectionMapsUK/status/1191704005451427841 [Source]

Get fairer funding for our schools and NHS And so we can get on with that and stop talking trade deals, customs and tariffs, we must STOP BREXIT. Vote #LibDem https://twitter.com/IanSollom/status/1191720647954706432/photo/1 [Source]
• 29 Jul 2019 @FossilFreeCam @rodcantrill @EdwardJDavey @KatieCritchlow More focus on direct action to increase the costs of fossil fuel production and reduce consumption is needed to get emissions to net zero asap and I'm looking forward to seeing this in the @LibDems new policy paper on tackling climate change at Conference in September. [Source]
• 29 Jul 2019 @FossilFreeCam @rodcantrill I'm supportive of divestment and joined the excellent recent webinar arranged by @EdwardJDavey and @KatieCritchlow exploring how this can be implemented in local gov. But I'm also clear that divestment is only a very small part of what we need to do to combat climate change. [Source]
• 10 Jul 2019 Damning report from @theCCCuk on UK progress on emissions reductions. Setting the ambition of net zero emissions is meaningless if not followed up with actions. Yet just 1 of 25 critical policies delivered. Utterly pathetic from a government only able to focus on Brexit. https://twitter.com/theCCCuk/status/1148729040611598336 [Source]
• 05 Jun 2019 Welcome this letter. We have to understand the scale of the resource implications if we are to deliver net zero emissions. https://www.nhm.ac.uk/press-office/press-releases/leading-scientists-set-out-resource-challenge-of-meeting-net-zer.html [Source]
