• 02 Nov 2024 This is the human spirit at its best, following such a shocking disaster. For such a major flood to occur in urban Europe should be a warning to those who deny climate change https://twitter.com/chefjoseandres/status/1852484566541373808 [Source]
• 02 Nov 2024 I think most people would gladly pay £2 more for their flight to help move us towards net zero. This is him throwing his toys out of the pram for effect. They money has to come from somewhere - or perhaps he is more cross about the private jet tax ???? https://twitter.com/politlcsuk/status/1852427970637406550 [Source]
• 16 Oct 2024 Great to hear from Rt Hon Ed Milliband & @theCCCuk about their work on reaching #NetZero & the role of Parliament There is no doubt human activity is responsible for the climate crisis & we must find solutions to fix it https://x.com/VikkiSlade72/status/1846487494440689732/photo/1 [Source]
• 12 Oct 2024 What a great evening with @UK100_ I must get used to “oh you don’t mind saying a few words do you” … great to share experiences as former council leader/cabinet member alongside @TomHayesBmouth & hear about this yrs climate leadership https://x.com/VikkiSlade72/status/1845235591421604338/photo/1 https://twitter.com/ianstotesbury/status/1845139153563918728 [Source]
• 12 Oct 2024 Today has been all about Climate & Nature @ThisIsZeroHour Delighted to help open Planet Wimborne Green Festival, then joined “meet your MPs” session with BCP Climate Coalition members & shortly I will be joining @UK100_ Climate Leadership Academy for dinner https://x.com/VikkiSlade72/status/1845119136076005415/photo/1 [Source]
• 28 May 2024 Every Tory who peddles this cr*p makes my blood boil. Those who are 18 in 2025 were 13 when furlough was around. They lost so much - they owe society nothing. They will be rebuilding this country destroyed by the selfishness of their elders who caused Brexit & Climate crisis https://twitter.com/mikegalsworthy/status/1795469785171423375 [Source]
• 24 May 2024 @BCPCouncil were committed to achieving #NetZero through just transition. Reducing carbon can also reduce fuel poverty/living costs ☀️ Increasing nature can improve wellbeing/life chances ???? It makes sense Thanks @Christophammond for joining me on my Environment podcast too https://twitter.com/UK100_/status/1793907648934613035 [Source]
• 16 May 2024 An early start as we (me & my work ex student) head to London for @LGAcomms workshop on transport inclusion & my Environment podcast with @CratusGroup being joined by my friend @Christophammond @UK100_to discuss their role in helping councils & communities reach Net Zero [Source]
• 14 May 2024 A busy day in Westminster - after an @LGAcomms meeting discussing housing, net zero & sustainable transport I joined @ConorBurnsUK meeting the Sec State re parking enforcement, then @libdemdaisy to meet High st minister & managed a catch up @SarahDykeLD talking rural issues https://twitter.com/VikkiSlade72/status/1790443628529090692/photo/1 [Source]
• 23 Apr 2024 @adechapmanlaw one gentleman was wearing a 'I ❤️ CO2' nd another described 'utopia' as a bad thing.. i really do despair! [Source]
• 29 Mar 2024 I just did this test & although we have solar, drive an EV, have a green energy supplier,cycle, keep bees & buy 2nd hand when we can there us much more to do & I’m ready to get started. Why not give it a go #ClimateHero https://twitter.com/ClimateHero_me/status/1760228113055674381 [Source]
• 06 Mar 2024 Agreed. Families on low income with more than two children - failed. Disabled people - failed. Pensioners - failed. Young people - ignored. FTBs & tenants - failed. Environment - what climate emergency! Times up for this govt #GeneralElectionlNow https://twitter.com/jrf_uk/status/1765393935017353431 [Source]
• 05 Mar 2024 @IanEnglishman @johnredwood @LibDems @BCPCouncil so you dont believe in Climate Change!!! £149k is part of the road safety budget. please do read the papers [Source]
• 07 Dec 2023 @RupertStiglitz @wildandhigh 1) safe and legal routes 2) swift processing of claims so people know they will be sent back if unsuccessful 3) allow asylum seekers to work so they can contribute to their costs 4) stop demonising people. Lets focus on the real problems - NHS, Climate Crisis, Cost of Living [Source]
• 22 Oct 2023 @ClaireEHJ @TheoJupp Tom Hayes is the labour parliamentary candidate for Bournemouth East. he is a cllr in Oxford. according to Oxford City Council website he is deputy leader and cabinet member for Net Zero but doesnt look like he is on many committees to attend ????‍♀️ https://mycouncil.oxford.gov.uk/mgUserInfo.aspx?UID=846 [Source]
• 14 Oct 2023 Had a lovely morning at Planet Wimborne Green Fair & delighted to meet the Craftivists from Makers&Shakers Wimborne who gifted me this gorgeous bookmark showing #ClimateChange locally & the @GretaThunberg book to help me in my leadership & journey to net zero https://twitter.com/VikkiSlade72/status/1713180988593869048/photo/1 [Source]
• 28 Sep 2023 Took a different route to my @LGAcomms Local Infrastructure & Net Zero board meeting today, walking along the Covid Memorial Wall - running from Westminster to Lambeth Bridge, directly opposite our seat of Govt. A poignant reminder of what our country went through https://twitter.com/VikkiSlade72/status/1707347530474823941/photo/1 [Source]
• 25 Sep 2023 @transformageing Would have loved to but I’m expected at a drinker about renewable energy &nature representing the @LGAcomms … there is so much available at conference many things overlap [Source]
• 25 Sep 2023 Sunrise over Poole harbour before a busy morning meeting @UTG_UK on sustainable transport followed by @LibDems policy paper on transport - I’m sure PMs rollback on EV &HS2 will be on agenda then chairing round table with @nature_org on renewable energy to improve nature #LDConf https://twitter.com/VikkiSlade72/status/1706188117781151883/photo/1 [Source]
• 22 Sep 2023 @GlennonFanny Any large event that our tourist market wants (1/2 million visitors+) will create massive co2 from travel. We already have fantastic events throughout - from poole harbour fest, world of love, bournemouth 7s, proms in the park, Christchurch food festival etc etc. [Source]
• 07 Sep 2023 The future of Local Govt, working cross party for communities. Proud to be part of @libdemlocalgov exec & dep chair of Local Infrastructure & Net Zero Board ensuring the voice of communities via Local Gov are heard in Westminster https://twitter.com/VikkiSlade72/status/1699729460386230731/photo/1 [Source]
• 05 Sep 2023 Great to be back up in London - lead members meeting for @LGAcomms looking at this yrs work plan on Local Infrastructure & Net zero plus meeting in Westminster on parking with CEx of @BCPCouncil First visit since all scaffolding removed from this stunning place https://twitter.com/VikkiSlade72/status/1699064406829842736/photo/1 [Source]
• 28 Jun 2023 @TanglewoodSteve @MrsA4boys @LikeEngineer @RobertSyms Yes it’s clear they feel the government has not kept up the pace. I wonder if this is because there is an election and they are mistakenly thinking that the public do not care about climate change. Haven’t had a chance to read it yet I’ll give it a try at the weekend [Source]
• 19 May 2023 guest said he hadn't expected conversation to take this turn, but really enjoyed it. I love making @CratusComm podcasts-next is @justdiggit talking Africa & impact of climate on migration-expect more quirky moments. Suggestion for heroes/villains welcome & future guests #NetZero https://twitter.com/TanglewoodSteve/status/1659252176508551197 [Source]
• 18 May 2023 @aaron_humanist @DaddyGardener80 @_CJR_ @George4Labour @adechapmanlaw @LesleyMDedman tourists will come anyway, but we are living in a cost of living & climate crisis. There is a debate to be had & we will have it, using proper methods of consultation. Many who live here really resent the whole thing & other towns have successful air shows without massive cost [Source]
• 16 May 2023 @DaddyGardener80 @_CJR_ @George4Labour @LesleyMDedman There is a reasonable conversation about whether this should have such huge public subsidy during a financial & climate crisis…. You should see some of the other cuts the Tories have lined up just under the surface! [Source]
• 24 Apr 2023 @BcpLocal I really hope people do not think this is a party wanting to protect the heritage in our communities. They also do not believe in climate change, would ban 5G, get rid of LGBTQ rights & generally take us backwards! [Source]
• 06 Apr 2023 @corfecrow @BuildWood Omg - so we got away lightly with the UKIP member who thought Ukraine caused the war & didn’t agree with the climate emergency… at least she had a love for nature! [Source]
• 31 Mar 2023 It is simply not compatible for the largest onshore oilfield in western Europe to work alongside Poole harbour. Not only is it dreadful for nature but terrible for the climate crisis too. We need to stop the spill then stop the drill. https://twitter.com/RSPBEngland/status/1641832602456686593 [Source]
• 26 Mar 2023 @ClaireleWade You underestimate how often we discuss climate issues - we passed motion to divest fossil fuels in pension fund, planning for small & large scale energy generation & net zero homes. Cycling/public transport both important to reducing congestion, air pollution & carbon [Source]
• 26 Mar 2023 @LBeddowDorset I would expect investigation to also explain why people were told not to swim until the end of the day, when reports of oil on the beaches were made in the morning...maintaining an oil field in such a sensitive area AND as we live in a climate crisis should also be reconsidered [Source]
• 23 Mar 2023 @WessexOrienteer It was podcast day today @CratusComm #WhatHasTheEnvironmentEverDoneForUs (published early April) I interviews @kateparminter who is Chair of the HoL Committee on Climate Change. They've produced a report on the need for leadership in behaviour change. Worrying response from Govt [Source]
• 23 Mar 2023 Scientists deliver ‘final warning’ on climate crisis: act now or it’s too late - having been taken over by domestic dramas this is worth resharing. Time is running out for us https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/mar/20/ipcc-climate-crisis-report-delivers-final-warning-on-15c?CMP=share_btn_tw [Source]
• 10 Mar 2023 Wow!! So if the @bbc has issues with lineker here is two years notice that he wanted to take about refugees, climate change & other controversial issues! #StandwithGary https://twitter.com/BBCRosAtkins/status/1634254462029103104 [Source]
• 10 Mar 2023 @LBeddowDorset Climate change deniers i presume ????????‍♀️ [Source]
• 10 Mar 2023 James 'not so' Clever-ley @BBCBreakfast effectively suggests Tories might only consider future safe & legal route when there is a "global tragedy or war" What about all those persecuted for faith, sexuality, gender or political views, fleeing torture, famine or climate crisis? [Source]
• 16 Feb 2023 @BuildWood @BurgerKing @McDonalds You need to listen to my environment podcast (recorded today will link next week when published) where I wax lyrical about mushrooms as an ally in the fight against climate change (funghi to be precise but you get what I mean!) ???? [Source]
• 31 Jan 2023 Fascinating afternoon meeting ⁦@wessexwater⁩ to discuss water quality, infrastructure improvement, nature based solutions, shared responsibility, climate change & Schedule 3 of flood & water management act. Lots to ponder - blog & ⁦@StourandAvon⁩ article to follow! https://twitter.com/vikki4mdnp/status/1620538202837622785/photo/1 [Source]
• 17 Jan 2023 really interesting workshop this afternoon as part of the National Stakeholder Group for Local Climate Adaptation Tool - as we see local impacts from climate change, and try to form sensible policy to protect our communities this is such important work being led by @ECEHH https://twitter.com/vikki4mdnp/status/1615374177019756547/photo/1 [Source]
• 14 Jan 2023 @TanglewoodSteve @mjgreene71 @BCPGreens @CIndependents @BCPLabourParty @hadleyac @JudesButt @RobertSyms @ConorBurnsUK @Tobias_Ellwood Will give it a read in advance of my @CratusComm Net Zero podcast on Thursday so it might get a mention in our #HeadlinesHeroesAndHypocrites feature [Source]
• 10 Jan 2023 @AlexMcKinstry1 great Qs tonight from a large no of public on issues ranging from transparency, culture & business grants, net zero, beach huts & complaints. Your point about whole council groups being invisible from a seated position in public gallery is well made, disappointed with response [Source]
• 30 Nov 2022 Inspirational but very hard hitting speech from @ClimateVisionUK about local impact of climate change. 500% increase in rainfall, double crisis of drought & flooding and a strong message that we must ALL do OUR BIT. Loved hearing the circular story of Herbal Ley in Cornwall https://twitter.com/vikki4mdnp/status/1598061233458274304/photo/1 [Source]
• 23 Nov 2022 Great to be in Soho recording next episode of ⁦@CratusComm⁩ What Has Environment Ever Done 4 Us⁩ wi guest ⁦@kcdmitchell⁩ from ⁦@Stantec⁩ discussing #Cop27 #Transport & #Water A hint 4 #climateHero - he really did “boldly go where no man (of his age) had gone! https://twitter.com/vikki4mdnp/status/1595413651493912579/photo/1 [Source]
• 23 Nov 2022 @cllrdavidbrown @LGAcomms The DNO for SW is far more progressive than ours - as @lgacomms we have asked for a workshop aiming to bring SSE and others round the table to help support councils to deliver new solar & house builders/businesses/homeowners to decarbonise [Source]
• 22 Nov 2022 so much not even on the list of things you can choose - bereavement services, coroner service, climate mitigation, protecting heathlands, flooding and harbours, enforcement on private landlords, licencing taxi drivers/businesses, childrens centres/family hubs https://twitter.com/AdamHighcliffe/status/1594767238552293402 [Source]
• 17 Nov 2022 Great to be in London today - my first pic of Elizabeth Tower without her shroud. First stop ⁦@LGAcomms⁩ for board meeting - discussing grid capacity, building safety, climate change, pavement obstruction & waste https://twitter.com/vikki4mdnp/status/1593189857794613249/photo/1 [Source]
• 27 Oct 2022 appalled to hear @AlokSharma_RDG removed from cabinet. Hardly a consolation to 'remain COP26 president' when this role ends in 2 wks! He showed real commitment to addressing climate change & with terrible news from @UNFCCC that 1.5 degrees is not looking possible https://twitter.com/johnestevens/status/1585656933024993282 [Source]
• 27 Oct 2022 @NasminChoudhury @timfarron Zero Carbon becomes more affordable as it is mainstreamed. There is plenty of profit with housebuilders, perhaps they need to take a hit! We have to take drastic action if we are going to stop climate change destroying how we live. [Source]
• 20 Oct 2022 @NottonDarren Well I don’t and nor do my residents. That quote is a decade old and evidence on climate change has been growing over that time [Source]
• 20 Oct 2022 @jeffrey_bell2 that’s not right. We get 5% if our energy from Russia. And even if you accept it and I do want to be more self sufficient solar & wind are both more efficient, cheaper & don’t do the environmental damage - that’s aside from the carbon climate crisis is real we can’t put that off [Source]
• 19 Oct 2022 @BuildWood @141N_RO of course its a really inefficient means of generating energy...as well as being VERY bad for the environment & against the manifesto of the government party. We need to consider all forms of renewables if we are to address the climate crisis [Source]
• 13 Oct 2022 Govt talks of boosting economic growth & claim committed to NetZero. Y not Target support for retrofit - remove VAT on these projects not just newbuild , tax incentives for staff in green roles. More effective than #InvestmentZones paving over countryside! https://nla.london/news/development-must-adopt-default-retrofit-approach [Source]
• 11 Oct 2022 *shakes head* - is there anything this government is going to get right? Can someone please get an accessible list of their donors so we can plot which other policies will be dumped. That's climate change, public health, countryside, farming ....all thrown under the Tory bus https://twitter.com/Anna_Soubry/status/1579839556442279937 [Source]
• 23 Sep 2022 it is probably time to establish what a climate strategy should include. Council's responsibilities, geography & size vary hugely but there is some commonality yet nothing for residents to call on as minimum standards. https://twitter.com/ConstructiveVo1/status/1573208676734754817 [Source]
• 08 Sep 2022 WE DON'T NEED MORE GAS ...we have plenty in our seas without damaging our geology, fracking near homes & slowing the move to fully renewable energy. 100 new licences could be devastating #KeepFrackingBan [Source]
• 06 Sep 2022 @TanglewoodSteve Well thank you! Let’s re-open the Dept of Energy & Climate Change and get this done eh @EdwardJDavey (not that I’m suggesting you work for this govt #NeverAgain) [Source]
• 01 Sep 2022 Hard to believe that #COP26 was nearly a year ago. How the world has changed. Hopefully this event will re-ignite hope & inject some urgency back into all things green #Cratus2050 #EconSustainability Register today >> https://TheEconomistEvents.ref-r.com/c/i/31086/71813737?r=tw [Source]
• 29 Aug 2022 @adechapmanlaw exactly, officer hasn't responded to this challenge but i have asked for the view of our Head of Climate Change [Source]
• 13 Aug 2022 @VMMChamberlain @lb_southwark Shocking to see this - when they will be unable to remove CO2 until (if) the leaves regrow as well as provide shade. [Source]
• 11 Aug 2022 If you still think climate change is fake - how do you answer this? https://twitter.com/Desomag/status/1557407497182642176 [Source]
• 19 Jul 2022 @RobertCollard3 @technogogo @KarinKMacDee @SusanPrice4 We do need to think about issues in the round but i would not want to hear people saying just cut the grass when actually our longer grass Aida the climate crisis & biodiversity emergency … where close to homes this needs to be managed but our open spaces are not alongside homes [Source]
• 17 Jul 2022 @DorsetHarry @MrsA4boys @KemiBadenoch Indeed - and she wants to scrap net zero [Source]
• 17 Jul 2022 Quick fire penny - no to Scotland, won’t stop channel 4 privatisation, not prepared to make difficult decisions on net zero, won’t rule out employing Johnson #NotPenny ???????? [Source]
• 17 Jul 2022 @CllrKeithHouse @Independent A total joke - encouraging people to drive more in a climate crisis is utterly irresponsible. [Source]
• 16 Jul 2022 Their silence on climate change so far has been alarming https://twitter.com/AlokSharma_RDG/status/1548421234513170432 [Source]
• 14 Jul 2022 This piece i wrote on Tuesday already out of date but shows how far #Conservatives are from #ClimateCrisis affecting UK & wider world. #tomtugendhat is the only one talking about the climate. Looks like he'll be out next #BadNews4NetZero .@CratusComm https://cratus.co.uk/is-it-the-end-for-vote-blue-get-green https://twitter.com/Peston/status/1547588444695580672 [Source]
• 12 Jul 2022 And I haven’t heard any of them talk about the impact of climate change or investing in adaptation in their pitches, not even via their tax plans which could be transformational for things like fuel poverty, public transport, jobs! https://t.co/fZrQquEFIn [Source]
• 11 Jul 2022 @wordsbypage Yeah! High Bus fares disproportionately affect the poor - if we are going to deal with the cost of living crisis, narrowing the gap in terms of social mobility & prosperity and deal with climate change public/mass transport is vital [Source]
• 30 Jun 2022 Agreed. The lack of ability to challenge on funding high needs block, nothing on catch up funding & lots of warm words. Totally ignored the plea around climate change from audience https://twitter.com/Gareth_Roberts_/status/1542473348092989441 [Source]
• 29 Jun 2022 Great to listen to @EdwardJDavey at our group meeting and in the main #LGAConf22 hall. Talking about our approach to levelling up to cost of living crisis & listening to the concerns of residents. Saying Local Govt must be at the heart of the Cost of Living & Climate Crises https://twitter.com/vikki4mdnp/status/1542160002961608715/photo/1 [Source]
• 29 Jun 2022 many reasons but here’s 3 - 1) people can’t afford to bring children up where house prices/rent require 2 FT incomes 2) women have choice & are succeeding in careers, stepping off work merry go round can be catastrophic for prospects 3) climate crisis/worry for future of world https://twitter.com/jameskirkup/status/1541745269360021507 [Source]
• 23 Jun 2022 @PooleGreen I’m not convinced about that but there is certainly a major reset needed on some areas like water & a shift on public transport to address levelling up, cost of living crisis and climate emergency [Source]
• 14 May 2022 @TanglewoodSteve @LikeEngineer You should have been at @LighthousePoole last night. @NTConnections presented two incredible plays on climate change performed by @QESDorset & @SwanageSchool one of which featured older climate protesters. Both v moving [Source]
• 13 May 2022 @NTConnections wow! Such a great night watching two incredible plays about the climate crisis @LighthousePoole by @QESDorset & @SwanageSchool the future is certainly bright for performing arts. Thanks for giving our YP this opportunity https://www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/learn-explore/young-people/connections/how-it-works/ [Source]
• 07 May 2022 @svmitche @C20Society @arripay @hadleyac @HistoricEngland @BCPCouncil Me too! I raised questions with planning initially about heritage protection & also challenged why embodied carbon wasn’t considered plus future net zero. I think the answer will be they are not current planning considerations which is why our new local plan MUST be stronger [Source]
• 24 Apr 2022 @adechapmanlaw @Adam5of @DanielRoyParkin @TanglewoodSteve @CllrFizz @BCPCouncil @TristanPascoe @DrewMellorBCP @MrsA4boys @Bournemouthecho @SimonRBull @sjmccormack Agreed. The pension fund is committed to decarbonise but we would like to see divestment more clearly. And yes - I have always supported the wind farm & appalled by recent vote in Dorset to keep energy cost down WHATEVER it takes - how can they have a net zero target & do this [Source]
• 15 Apr 2022 @CllrDavidTooke WHAT!!!!?!?!? That’s appalling - how can that be consistent with a council@that has declared a climate emergency? [Source]
• 21 Mar 2022 totally understand the desire to bow to motorists - but I agree, cutting bus/train fares AND reducing NI will put money back in the pockets of people while also hitting the fuel barons and support the climate emergency. Many of the poor dont even own a car so they arent helped https://twitter.com/carltonreid/status/1505815746470977536 [Source]
• 28 Feb 2022 it was wonderful to be with you. Happy to support any of your students if they want to lobby @BCPCouncil on any environmental issues and @CratusComm always happy to support with any Climate Emergency work you are doing. https://cratus.co.uk/expertise/ https://twitter.com/BUIntCollege/status/1498342267286917123 [Source]
• 07 Feb 2022 Any of my contacts work in the Travel or Tourism industry and can chat to me about the Net Zero issues .... looking for a brilliant guest for an upcoming podcast and my planned guest isn't available. #podcast #travel #tourism https://twitter.com/vikki4mdnp/status/1490670136973565960/photo/1 [Source]
• 03 Feb 2022 @allpartycycling gosh have you made it to the end. I am going to have to head out for supplies to keep me going through it! Net Zero is mentioned in passing a couple of times, but not really with anything meaningful so far...hoping the last chapter redeems itself! [Source]
• 03 Feb 2022 @pureelectricuk @DanielRoyParkin @Gladelands @Bournemouthecho i'll come back to you.Currently working with LGA Board on building safety, active travel & net zero & wading thru #LevellingUp paper so can't engage on twitter for a bit! hope you understand. Policy not usually decided this far out but get a flavour on https://www.middorsetlibdems.org.uk/ [Source]
• 01 Feb 2022 @LMillerDorset @QESDorset Also what alternatives? The consultation was a joke - people in the villages can’t access broadstone or ferndown & bus fares excessive when you cross into the conurbation & your climate emergency commitment should be factored into sustaining local services. [Source]
• 29 Jan 2022 @jennykathrynb @Michael4MDNP I am also fairly sure the drop to 5-day isolation is a clever bit of PR. Makes it look like they are helping but so far haven't found anyone who has tested -ive on day 5 ! Still not aware of Hepa filters or CO2 monitors fitted in our schools either! [Source]
• 29 Jan 2022 @1pie3 I actually raised @SolarTogetherUK at the Climate Scrutiny Meeting a few weeks ago. Its a no brainer & the new Climate Change manager said he would consider it, I will keep the pressure up. [Source]
• 23 Jan 2022 @arobertsonphoto @Michael4MDNP @nadhimzahawi How many schools in MDNP have received CO2 monitors since 2020? That would be REAL support for head teachers? [Source]
• 15 Jan 2022 @MrsA4boys Gave a climate change talk to @scouts last night - 1/4 had ridden to the session & we had a fab conversation about how cycle lanes give them independence… and had a giggle about how it feels to ride past stationary traffic on route to school …we need to listen to them more [Source]
• 14 Jan 2022 A fab night with @broadstonescout talking about climate change… back with another group on Monday night - some really cool ideas & some people already raking lots of #ClimateAction https://twitter.com/vikki4mdnp/status/1482102385837281290/photo/1 [Source]
• 14 Jan 2022 @TanglewoodSteve @MrAndyStorey @MrsA4boys @CratusComm @UniofExeter @FutureLearn She is particularly inspired by marine biology - was going to study that but realised that Env Man is going to give broader skills to find practical solutions to climate change [Source]
• 13 Jan 2022 @TanglewoodSteve @MrAndyStorey @MrsA4boys @CratusComm well I might just send A to talk to you when she started her environmental studies. I was chuffed to pass the short @UniofExeter 6 week courste on Climate Change during lockdown through @FutureLearn [Source]
• 13 Jan 2022 Super excited & proud ???? My daughter got 2 offers from Uni today & ???? she will be studying Climate Change & Environmental Management. Delighted that she will be part of the solution ???? while I do my bit leading the @CratusComm #NetZero programme https://cratus.co.uk/expertise/ [Source]
• 27 Dec 2021 @WessexOrienteer @RussInCheshire @arobertsonphoto Then so is a 2050 net zero future surely? [Source]
• 24 Nov 2021 Fascinating if depressing read of @dwallacewells “the 1st country to industrialise & produce Greenhouse has on grand scale -UK- is expected to suffer least from Climate Change” #ClimateCrisis may create 1 billion migrants so surely we must accept a fair share not turn our backs https://twitter.com/vikki4mdnp/status/1463633269153538056/photo/1 [Source]
• 19 Nov 2021 @joeharrispark It was great to see you and I look forward to working more with you on the @libdemlocalgov exec over the next two yrs focusing on housing, transport & economy & supporting @pippaheylings work on climate change [Source]
• 13 Nov 2021 Wow that was something - I don’t think anyone can blame Alok Sharma he has done his very best & been professional as president but I think he has been let down by the leadership of Johnson and co … progress of sorts and let’s hope CoP27 can move things forward further https://twitter.com/SkyNews/status/1459609948170723332 [Source]
• 13 Nov 2021 disgusted by this. YP already priced out of home ownership, have poor prospects with pensions & will deal with high costs of climate change. tuition fees system should change - switch to taxation from a threshold of “median income” - makes it fair & removes any interest cost https://twitter.com/rchieyes/status/1459317545421393928 [Source]
• 11 Nov 2021 @TanglewoodSteve @js33648 @jan_dorrell Yes that’s a good point - the leaders are failing them. Interesting discussion at #COP26Glasgow today with young construction professionals - they will still be mid career in 2050 we owe it to them to make sure THEY are in the room when designing strategy for net zero [Source]
• 11 Nov 2021 There are plenty of boomers that don’t believe in climate change and are trying to stand in the way of those who are trying to take action to address the issues. Rather than shift blame why not listen to the young and help improve the world you benefitted from https://twitter.com/Bournemouthecho/status/1458722188354224128 [Source]
• 10 Nov 2021 Took a few hours off between #COP26 related events to explore the beauty of Edinburgh …re-energised for more discussions & networking to develop my Net Zero & Local Government work for @CratusComm & holding my own council to account on climate progress https://twitter.com/vikki4mdnp/status/1458566272669659142/photo/1 [Source]
• 09 Nov 2021 Fascinating insight into the voice of business in #NetZero as part of the #COP26Glasgow fringe through @newyorktimes - COVID gave the opportunity to change things that will also benefit climate change mitigation https://twitter.com/vikki4mdnp/status/1458069656946847747/photo/1 [Source]
• 08 Nov 2021 @DanielRoyParkin stopping/slowing climate change costs ££ - whether from govt, local authorities or direct from households we will all pay for it-if we delay it will just cost more so we must bite the bullet. LAs need to build high quality homes & private landlords will have to follow suit [Source]
• 07 Nov 2021 @JulesEwartSuff @GreenLibDems @COP26 Sorry I wasn’t up in time to join you but I was representing us at @friends_earth @bournemouthuni event on #Cop26 & some goof ideas coming from audience & panel to effect change [Source]
• 06 Nov 2021 A really fascinating event covering everything from farming to energy, citizen engagement to planning. Sadly no time for transport Qs but I could have shared my slightly exhausting but environmentally sustainable journey to be part of the #COP26 @bournemouthuni event! https://twitter.com/vikki4mdnp/status/1457010294023233543/photo/1 [Source]
• 04 Nov 2021 trying to avoid thinking about disgusting behaviour of Conservative MPs by attending @Bioregional Built Environment virtual events on Sustainable Cities & retrofitting. So many ways to improve our homes & reduce energy use to contribute to #NetZero both for councils & individuals [Source]
• 04 Nov 2021 @ajjolley @AllisonPearson Weren’t CO2 Monitors promised? Can’t say I have seen evidence that this is being done, around 6 months after the children returned to face-to-face education [Source]
• 27 Oct 2021 @Adam5of @Shirlie_Stewart @DanielRoyParkin @TanglewoodSteve @CllrFizz @BCPCouncil @TristanPascoe @DrewMellorBCP @MrsA4boys @Bournemouthecho @SimonRBull @sjmccormack It’s about choices - trying to find out what more ethical organisations (like nationwide) bid for the contract and what the decision matrix was. Businesses that don’t recognise the need for net zero will ultimately pay the price [Source]
• 25 Oct 2021 So what will be out climate headlines - will it be the Net Zero strategy announced last week, the sewage in the rivers vote or perhaps the criticism of the organisation of #COP26 …I usually get the “hypocrisy slot” but those seem to be on repeat at the mo… join us and find out https://twitter.com/CratusGroup/status/1452579786413445127 [Source]
• 24 Oct 2021 @BrainImagingGuy @philipjustice66 @ThatTimWalker @mikegalsworthy @Michael4MDNP @Tobias_Ellwood @ConorBurnsUK @SortedSurfShop We know these storms will happen more regularly as we deal with climate change - it cannot be ignored. And I understand there is an issue with lack of chemicals due to brexit [Source]
• 14 Oct 2021 @CllrShaunDavies Please congratulate Carolyn … we were only talking today about the role of climate change & green spaces / historic buildings well done! [Source]
• 07 Sep 2021 Two election pledges broken within a day … why not make it 3 and admit you aren’t going to get 50,000 nurses or 250,000 childcare places or reach net zero! And has anyone heard more about the #DemocracyCommission #BrokenGovtBrokenPromises [Source]
• 05 Sep 2021 This needs careful balancing - if our children abs grandchildren will bear the greatest burden we need to see our system shift to support the issues that impact them too - housing crisis, skills, climate crisis, mental health. Currently the dice are constantly against them https://twitter.com/Jim_AFCB/status/1434568889132888065 [Source]
• 02 Sep 2021 This makes me livid. We’ve seen businesses given grants to fund ventilation, set up outside & firms doing all they can to keep us safe but this halfwit can’t even use the summer holidays to get CO2 monitors out to schools & is happy to throw kids & teachers under the bus! https://twitter.com/ahmedaftab68/status/1433421353273552913 [Source]
• 08 Aug 2021 @transformageing @CllrDunlop Depends what you read she either thought Climate Change was an exaggeration or a threat. read her book Statecraft! What happened was cheap foreign coal came in which was worse for environment & communities here were decimated. This was not an early example of climate leadership [Source]
• 01 Aug 2021 @LMillerDorset @BuildWood Good for you but with only half our children passing eng/maths to a decent level it’s simply not a priority. When they do master the basics any additional capacity has many areas we need urgently - improved pe, mental health, climate change, financial understanding, first aid [Source]
• 31 Jul 2021 FFS - can we not just focus on making sure every child reaches the standard they need in English Maths Science - only half get grade5 .. then make sure they learn climate change, financial education, good mental & physical health. But no #Latin ????#Ignoramus (useful Latin word!) https://twitter.com/A_C_McGregor/status/1421449850965606410 [Source]
• 15 Jul 2021 @markpack A cllr (former county and now town) here said the same thing on facebook today. Appalling … but then he claimed there is no climate emergency in the next post [Source]
• 13 Jul 2021 Have some humanity @Michael4MDNP … vote this down. Climate change, war, Covid are already decimating the developing world & we need to lift people up so they can support themselves & build strong futures https://twitter.com/Spookella/status/1414845215052079106 [Source]
• 28 Jun 2021 @shayestrek sorry steve this is a weak argument. Local Government functioned really well with remote meetings and excellent public access, along with electronic voting. We are in a climate emergency & i expect we are going to see another financial crisis as the Govt switches off taps too [Source]
• 14 Jun 2021 Climate Emergency Film - well done to the Scottish Government for such a striking yet simple film https://youtu.be/NU1oQem7428 via @YouTube [Source]
• 07 May 2021 @DanielRoyParkin @BCPConservative @mjgreene71 @JoshGWright Not sure what that has to do with Tory PCC candidate blocking people, my view of Priti Patel or climate change denial.. Foodbanks & homelessness are a sad indictment of the selfish world we have become. Delighted he’s turning his life around, and that we helped so many off street [Source]
• 07 May 2021 @anthea_bailey @JoshGWright We are so far apart I’m simply not wasting my time. The climate crisis is very real and even more dangerous than Boris and his cronies [Source]
• 07 May 2021 @anthea_bailey @JoshGWright Just checked your profile and you think climate change is a hoax so I won’t take your view too seriously [Source]
• 26 Apr 2021 misread that...thought you meant ????hives, which are also helping us reach net zero!! LOL https://twitter.com/centricaplc/status/1386670922980069379 [Source]
• 22 Apr 2021 @sxybio There are many ways we can help to reduce climate change .... if we all make small changes they will add up. [Source]
• 09 Apr 2021 @adechapmanlaw We aren’t disagreeing, I’m passionate about net zero but also realistic - we need to move fast but without considerable govt support the costs to switch for everyday families, councils and business is not affordable. [Source]
• 08 Apr 2021 @adechapmanlaw They are not only expensive but rely on electricity which is much more expensive than gas & of course many people still dont have renewable energy for their power ... perfect if you have solar PV & eco energy tho [Source]
• 24 Mar 2021 @cousins_pete Looking at how councils can lead the way on the race to zero - retrofit of housing stock can unlock savings in cash & carbon. Recording will be posted soon #NetZero [Source]
• 10 Mar 2021 Uk claims it’s “world leading” in #NetZero commitment but in space of 1 week *fuel duty frozen encouraging petrol/diesel cars, *scrapping APD on internal flights wi no link to low Carbon fuel BUT allow *price hike for rail, *no support for bus, and *ripping out bike lanes ???? https://twitter.com/pantariste/status/1369582689506975744 [Source]
• 03 Mar 2021 And the true cost of fossil fuel motoring is disguised again... this isn’t good enough for the climate emergency https://twitter.com/adamtranter/status/1366179244385124356 [Source]
• 27 Feb 2021 Feels somewhat ironic (or concerning) to be sat sunning myself in the garden in February while reading about how to prevent a climate emergency eh @kingstonkilby ... though at least my rooftop PV is getting a kickstart https://twitter.com/vikki4mdnp/status/1365631059715579911/photo/1 [Source]
• 26 Feb 2021 @MrsA4boys @PhilBroadhead @BCPCouncil @BCPConservative @PooleMatters We need more ambitious schemes & while short term congestion likely, ultimately fewer people need to be driving short distances if we’re going to reach net zero. short term funding deadlines always risk being held to ransom, hope NIB funding will allow longer term investment ???? [Source]
• 17 Feb 2021 @Polarnightsss @Michael4MDNP well you know where I stand....I will be challenging this as part of the Overview and Scrutiny Meeting on 1st March. to go against the majority of public, equalities assessment, 60% of the local councillors affected, the climate emergency AND the government agenda is madness! [Source]
• 09 Feb 2021 @indy_climate What the heck do the other 50% think.... do they need lessons in what the climate crisis is? [Source]
• 09 Feb 2021 how on earth can it be acceptable to approve a new coal mine in the very year that UK is supposed to be showcasing its commitment to #NetZero? Coal is most damaging of Fossil Fuels & now that the cost of renewables has fallen so far & UK being so advanced in wind this is madness! https://twitter.com/GreenpeaceUK/status/1359126572536627203 [Source]
• 01 Feb 2021 @POCX100 just wait til we have added carbon tax to take account of the increased environmental impact from buying from the other side of the world! [Source]
• 23 Jan 2021 Why announce a climate emergency, a green revolution & then go backwards on this exciting new opportunity. I get the impression this Govt are only paying lip service to real green infrastructure https://twitter.com/IanSollom/status/1352893490297004032 [Source]
• 16 Jan 2021 @LikeEngineer @psimonk @MrsA4boys @danhardydorset @bhactivetravel @sustrans @LivingStPoole @bhactivetravel actually put out a leaflet locally and this is even noted in the report so I think the suggestion people did t know is mischievous and trying to deflect from the decision which is anti democratic, anti policy, anti climate emergency and anti equalities [Source]
• 06 Jan 2021 Delighted to see that the Democrats got their double win in Georgia - replacing one of the most right wing republicans with the first black senator in the state and Ossoff becomes the first Jewish senator for Georgia too unseating a climate change denier https://twitter.com/mehdirhasan/status/1346927424932515841 [Source]
• 21 Dec 2020 well with climate change we might be able to grow oranges but if that comes to pass so much of our country will be underwater it will be easier to grow rice in new 'paddy fields'....along with living on lamb (yuck) and herrings (double yuck) that we can't export anymore https://twitter.com/LizJarvisUK/status/1340947606546112513 [Source]
• 16 Dec 2020 what we DID do was remove the awful £25m flyover which would have destroyed green belt land while we were declaring a climate emergency. https://twitter.com/VikkiSlade72/status/1339151656764796928 [Source]
• 16 Dec 2020 this is a welcome U Turn but should never have been there. Now we need major change to ensure smaller developments still have affordable housing, restore decision making to local people and include net zero building. Actually the whole thing needs to go back to the drawing board https://twitter.com/mpmwilko/status/1339145374238470146 [Source]
• 24 Nov 2020 @CllrDunlop @hadleyac i think most people would agree these are really important issues - climate change is the biggest issue facing us and pension funds are crucial to moving money away from fossil fuels. The reason it was raised was the way @CllrFizz & others were treated when being moved from posts [Source]
• 18 Nov 2020 it's my day off & I'm attending a fascinating webinar on Climate & Infrastructure, Jonathan Riggall @stantec is one great presenter. Lets see whether #10PointPlan will get the investment it needs. One of the main influencers on getting to Net Zero is transport - no surprise there https://twitter.com/vikki4mdnp/status/1329013794266353664/photo/1 [Source]
• 17 Nov 2020 Windfarms like this will be a game changer for renewable energy. With the PM claiming he is now committed to offshore wind we need the Crown Estate to give a timeline for leasing Round 5 covering new areas of UK waters https://www.eastlothiancourier.com.news/18869329.berwick-bank-offshore-wind-farm-plans-240-turbines-revealed/?ref=twtrec [Source]
