  • 10 Oct 2024 This Bill will could not be more urgent. The 2024 State of the Climate Report found that 25 of the 35 “vital signs” which track climate change have hit record levels. It is high time to take serious action to avert catastrophe. https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/commons-government-bill-mps-caroline-lucas-b2626936.html?loginSuccessful=true [Source]
  • 30 Aug 2024 Now we demand cast-iron assurance that the Cullompton station project will go ahead! The road is one fix for Cullompton, but rail will do more to help with our climate goals and connect our communities on foot and by bike. [Source]
  • 30 Aug 2024 While certainty of funding for the relief road is welcome, residents are still waiting for cast-iron assurance that the Cullompton station project will go ahead. Road is one part of the solution, but rail will do so much to help with our climate goals and connect our communities. [Source]
  • 03 Aug 2024 Whether globally or locally, having better tree and hedge cover helps people, wildlife, and our climate goals. @eastdevon are running a survey on how local woodlands can be improved and expanded. The survey runs until 6th September and can be found at: https://eastdevon.gov.uk/news/2024/08/have-your-say-on-the-first-tree-hedge-and-woodland-strategy-for-east-devon/ [Source]
  • 31 Jul 2024 Tackling climate change is the most urgent challenge we face as a society. I am proud the @LibDems back @zerohour_uk’s #CANBill, to give climate and nature a fighting chance at a future. We continue to push for real climate action. https://www.libdemvoice.org/creating-a-fairer-greener-future-for-all-75758.html [Source]

  • 01 Jun 2024 The @LibDems are putting climate change and the environment front and centre of our campaign. Whether it’s reaching net-zero, protecting biodiversity, or cracking down on the sewage scandal - we a real plan to protect our planet’s future. https://friendsoftheearth.uk/system-change/green-policies-and-general-election-who-leads-pack [Source]
  • 13 May 2024 The @UniofExeter’s @coxypm says climate change is "already dangerous". 80% of IPCC scientists anticipate at least 2.5% global heating. I say this Conservative Government isn't doing enough. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/may/08/world-scientists-climate-failure-survey-global-temperature [Source]

  • 30 Mar 2024 Warmer homes mean reduced bills, subsidies and carbon emissions; a win-win-win situation. Instead, Conservative cuts to home insulation schemes led to higher bills, colder homes, and straying off the path to net zero. We need to get home insulation back on track. https://twitter.com/RichardFoordLD/status/1774076614193918059/video/1 [Source]
  • 09 Mar 2024 Offshore wind has the potential to make the south west and Wales a world leader in renewable energy and green technology. Instead, the Government continues to subsidise oil and gas, holding back the UK from its full potential. https://twitter.com/RichardFoordLD/status/1766411355840504311/video/1 [Source]

  • 24 Jan 2024 The Petroleum Licensing Bill doesn't only compromise our climate commitments. Ironically, it puts our national security at risk too. A rapid transition to net-zero will help protect our planet from the climate crisis, and will protect the UK from despotic dictators too. https://twitter.com/RichardFoordLD/status/1750120705012670806/video/1 [Source]

  • 12 Dec 2023 Recalling the UK's senior represenative from #COP28 so he can vote on the Rwanda plan is truly desperate stuff. It shows that the Govt has totally lost control of the situation and doesn't care about tackling climate change - which is single biggest issues facing our planet. https://twitter.com/adamvaughan_uk/status/1734530578047815871 [Source]
  • 06 Dec 2023 Brilliant to see Newton Poppleford win a ‘Wild About Devon’ award for their work on combating climate change. I believe that actions taken at a local level can make a real difference, so it's good to see East Devon leading the way. https://www.sidmouthherald.co.uk/news/23971966.village-climate-change-group-wins-wild-devon-award/?ref=rss [Source]
  • 05 Dec 2023 Yesterday, I ended up stuck in Taunton for several hours due to flooding on the rail line. With events like this becoming more common, it shows why we need more investment in flood defences and to mitigate the impact of climate change - which hits coastal and rural areas hardest. [Source]
  • 29 Nov 2023 'Cutting the green crap' has led in recent years to higher taxes, higher energy bills, draughty homes, and has constrained us in our efforts to tackle climate change. I hope Lord Cameron repents and seeks to make the United Kingdom a world leader instead. https://twitter.com/RichardFoordLD/status/1729927195408154726/video/1 [Source]

  • 15 Nov 2023 I'm proud to support the Climate & Ecology Bill amendment to the #KingsSpeech. It's never been more important to lock the UK's climate and nature commitments in law to reverse nature's destruction and deliver a just transition. #CEBill https://commonsbusiness.parliament.uk/Document/82575/Html?subType=Standard#_idTextAnchor003 [Source]
  • 28 Sep 2023 This report shows we need to do more to safeguard nature and protect our countryside. The Oil and Gas Authority "taking Net Zero into account" in the decision to green light Rosebank is like an arsonist "taking combustion into account" while pouring petrol over a tinderbox. https://twitter.com/nationaltrust/status/1707096817299595536 [Source]

  • 19 Sep 2023 I also wonder how he’ll explain this U-turn to his daughters, given his previous claims that they motivate his supposed commitment to tackling climate change? https://twitter.com/henrymance/status/1549088018161713152 [Source]
  • 19 Sep 2023 This is a setback for the fight against climate change. Sunak can't claim to be leading the charge for Britain. It also raises questions about who’s calling the shots - is it Sunak or is it Liz Truss, who crashed the economy and caused pain for millions? https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/rishi-sunak-set-delay-petrol-30980454 [Source]
  • 11 Sep 2023 British farmers produce some of the best produce with the least greenhouse gases. Yet supermarkets do not always make clear when the meat on their shelves is homegrown. That's why I'm backing the @NFUtweets push for a 'Buy British' option at supermarkets. https://www.campaigns.nfuonline.com/page/134658/petition/1?ea.tracking.id=external [Source]
  • 08 Sep 2023 It is undeniable that the more frequent and extreme heatwaves like this are a result of climate change, and both government and business need to treat this as the emergency it is. [Source]
  • 27 Jul 2023 Cold-hearted Conservative Lord Frost points to fewer people dying from hypothermia as a benefit of climate change. Given his record of supposed benefits for the UK, I wouldn't set great store by it. Climate change is the biggest issue our generation faces. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2023/07/25/lord-frost-rising-temperatures-likely-beneficial-britain [Source]
  • 19 Jul 2023 Climate change is the biggest issue of our age. Sadly, too few politicians seem to grasp the scale of the issue, thinking only ahead as far as the electoral cycle permits. If we don't take real action to tackle climate change and cut global emissions, then everyone will suffer. https://twitter.com/RichardFoordLD/status/1681677199064047618/video/1 [Source]
  • 09 May 2023 This shows the power of democracy in fighting climate change: Turkmenistan ranks 161 of 167 countries in terms of democracy, and giving autocrats free reign leads to catastrophes like this. Protecting and promoting democracy is vital in saving our planet. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/may/09/mind-boggling-methane-emissions-from-turkmenistan-revealed?CMP=twt_gu#Echobox=1683608726 [Source]

  • 16 Jul 2022 Climate change is real - FACT Hearing Conservative leadership candidates row back on green initiatives and net zero is deeply concerning. We can’t afford to wait for COP27 and COP28 to say we need to do more. Inaction now dooms the future our planet and of our children. https://x.com/RichardFoordLD/status/1548232795008339971/video/1 [Source]
  • 11 Jul 2022 Attended a very informative briefing on climate change this afternoon from @uksciencechief. Clear we need to do far more to tackle the climate emergency that’s gripping our planet before it’s too late. Good to also hear from my old colleague Stephen Belcher from the Met Office. [Source]
