• 13 Nov 2024: Tweet

  Yesterday I asked a question at @energygovuk questions in Parliament about #COP29, and the fact that the UK is providing global leadership once again on #climate action. Thanks to @KerryMP for the answer. Also managed to bang the drum for #Exeter and our own expertise of course! https://x.com/steve_race/status/1856719554212208941/video/1 [Source]

• 12 Nov 2024: Parliamentary Speech

  T5. I am proud that Exeter is already a global leader in climate research. Does the Minister agree that this Government’s mission on clean power will deliver lower bills, energy security and allow this country to enter COP29 as a world leader when it comes to climate action? ( 901243 )

  Great to see you today! Lots of potential for #Exeter and the whole of the #Southwest in the renewable energy revolution. https://twitter.com/kerryhayes_/status/1856060614960951478 [Source]

• 6 Nov 2024: Parliamentary Speech

  I am particularly pleased that this Budget commits the UK to an R&D budget of £20 billion, which will mean Exeter and the UK remain at the forefront of scientific innovation. From climate change to land management, healthcare to biotechnology and beyond, Exeter is already a hub for scientific research, but we can do even more.

  #ClimateChange is the biggest strategic challenge we face as a country, and as a world. So I took the opportunity to ask the Commons Leader @LucyMPowell to join me in welcoming the new Parliamentarian’s Guide to Climate Change by @UniofExeter, the @metofficeUK, & @Peers4Planet. https://x.com/steve_race/status/1846976073164063011/video/1 [Source]

  Tonight I got to chat to some of the world’s most acclaimed climate scientists - all of them working in #Exeter. Great to join the @UniofExeter, the @metofficeUK, and @Peers4Planet to launch the latest Parliamentarian’s Guide to Climate Change - https://greenfutures.exeter.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/2024EI075-Guide-to-climate-change-AW-V2.pdf https://x.com/steve_race/status/1846690138367447084/photo/1 [Source]

• 08 Oct 2024: Tweet

  Today I asked @energygovuk Secretary @Ed_Miliband what the government will do nationally to follow @exeterlabour’s lead in fitting solar panels to council homes. A green transition has to include council tenants, so they get the benefit of lower bills and renewable energy too. https://x.com/steve_race/status/1843629843709341779/video/1 [Source]

• 30 Sep 2024: Tweet

  @grocer_on_green @RAMMuseum I don’t know about that, I assume it’s experts in their field who have been working on it. They are also criticised for supporting a very low-carbon city-wide district heating system, based on heat extraction from the river, which would have a profound impact on CO2 reduction. [Source]

• 9 Sep 2024: Parliamentary Speech

  Today, five of the world’s top 21 climate scientists are UK based and all of them work for our globally renowned University of Exeter and the Met Office. Along with these two institutions and a growing ecosystem of businesses, Exeter is home to a large and ever-growing research and innovation base that is at the forefront of combating and mitigating the effects of climate change. It has become fashionable in some circles to denigrate our universities. I reject this entirely: they stand as beacons of intellectual excellence, the future success of our knowledge economy and the hope of wider educational opportunity for many people.

  We know that scientific research and innovation, whether on tackling climate change or in medical advances, will make the lives of people in this country and around the world better, but the Government have to recognise the vital role of our universities in economic growth and take advantage of the many opportunities for partnership with the NHS and across the public sector.

  Great to vote for these people and to be a member of @praseg! Sustainable energy is one of our major routes to decarbonisation - and we have brilliant skills and expertise in #Exeter. I’m hoping to help us along the way… https://twitter.com/andrewpakes_/status/1831774164023439405 [Source]

  We promised to supercharge renewable energy generation - and that’s what we’re doing. This is the change that a Labour government can bring. https://twitter.com/ed_miliband/status/1830869107228438668 [Source]

  #Exeter and the SW region has huge potential in climate tech. I’ve written for @LCEF_UK about regional investment inequality. To meet the challenge of climate change and generate growth, we need to ensure people in every region can start up & scale up their green businesses. https://twitter.com/LCEF_UK/status/1747530331903639553 [Source]

  It’s now beyond dispute that climate change, caused by human activity, is with us and having an impact. The question is what we now do to leave a habitable world for future generations. 2023 smashes record for world’s hottest year by huge margin https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/jan/09/2023-record-world-hottest-climate-fossil-fuel?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other [Source]

  @MGreenhalgh523 @GNDRising @natashapaveyuk Hello, yes it’s a problem it’s not listed on the survey, which I’ve raised with HQ. Hope you saw that climate change was one of my priorities within the leaflet itself ???????? [Source]

  @LKDevenish @LukePollard Hi Lorna, I think this might be some mischievous briefing to be honest. Others have questioned it too. The actual policy that we’ve published here talks about the climate crisis as “the biggest long-term threat we face”: https://labour.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Mission-Climate.pdf [Source]

• 03 Jul 2023: Tweet

  Climate change is real - and it will affect the UK, as it will every other country. Without government leadership, we’re going to sail past 1.5d increase in temperature. We need to decarbonise our economy, change our behaviours, and speed up technological innovation. https://twitter.com/metoffice/status/1675852588783218688 [Source]

  Indecision, flip flopping, lack of vision - whether it’s climate change, the NHS, or new rail links, the Tories are costing us more but delivering us less. The country deserves better. https://twitter.com/LouHaigh/status/1671765742776115200 [Source]

  Hundreds of people likely to have died. It’s incumbent on countries to work together to solve this issue - which due to climate breakdown is not going away. https://twitter.com/guardiannews/status/1669266631925837824 [Source]

  Labour’s plan to reach net zero and mitigate the climate crisis will create jobs and investment across the country from R&D, to manufacturing, to installation and then in operations. Along with a national effort to insulate homes, this is exactly what the country should be doing. https://twitter.com/RachelReevesMP/status/1573646236275687425 [Source]

  Manchester and Liverpool are leading the way in re-regulating routes, fares, and timetables. Local authorities need more input and financial support to ensure good public transport networks - key to combatting climate change too. https://twitter.com/BenPBradshaw/status/1556972904444829696 [Source]

  Better idea would be to levy progressively ⬆️ taxes on airlines (on landing slots or business seats) from a set point, & support through tax incentives the acceleration of research into low carbon high-speed travel. If you want netzero rather than “tax business/global citizens”.. https://twitter.com/lewis_baston/status/1425167258494570498 [Source]

  @dlknowles And conversely which their German sister party also opposes, leading to that country’s poor performance on decarbonising their energy system (which I know you know!). Almost as if the Greens don’t actually have a coherent plan for tackling emissions at a national scale.. [Source]
