- Our Vice Chair @carla_denyer supports calls for a new approach to the #EnergyTransition, to provide a ring-fenced funding package for North Sea oil and gas workers. "We need to stop betting on the industry to do the right thing" ๐
00:00 - ๐NEW: Over the weekend, @ClimateAPPG MPs and Peers wrote to @ClaireCoutinho to call on the government to withdraw the Offshore Petroleum Licensing Bill, which has its second reading in Parliament today.
- Replying to @ClimateAPPGPlanetary boundaries cannot be appeased with warm words. The 1.5C limit is only possible if we stop burning all fossil fuels, not reduce, not abate, but phaseout - @CarolineLucas

- The failings of the latest CfD auction round were entirely avoidable. How will govt ensure it delivers the 35GW of new offshore wind capacity needed by UK in 6 years? And why did Ministers fail to heed warnings from business in advance? - @ClimateAPPG Chair @CarolineLucas
00:00 - ๐NEW: @LibDems Leader, @EdwardJDavey, has opposed the development of the Rosebank oil field. Harnessing the potential of renewable energy should be our priority, not climate-wrecking projects like Rosebank.
