Join the movement pushing the next government to take the climate crisis seriously.

It’s one message for MAGA-land and the opposite one for Jill Stein voters.

A key part of this scheme, Bannon noted, entails boosting expected Green Party candidate Jill Stein by highlighting oil production under Biden to pull environmentally concerned voters away from him. https://newrepublic.com/article/180617/steve-bannon-trump-lies-biden-jill-stein #election2024 #climate #ClimateVote #climatecrisis

Trump’s Big Lie About Biden Implodes After MAGA Ally Admits Truth

It’s one message for MAGA-land and the opposite one for Jill Stein voters. And they just might get away with it.

Nature in England at risk due to government failures, says environment watchdog https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/jan/18/nature-in-england-at-risk-due-to-government-failures-says-environment-watchdog?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Evidently not a priority for Tories.
Not a Labour priority.

Despite this stark assessment, it seems to me that the risk is underplayed by OEP.

#ClimateVote with @GreenpeaceUK to force the hand of party politics. Let’s make nature a priority in #generalelection.

UK water industry’s ‘urgent’ plan to tackle sewage pollution delayed by four months https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/jan/17/uk-water-industrys-urgent-plan-to-tackle-sewage-pollution-delayed-by-four-months?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

*Another* 4 months. This isn’t the first delay. Foot dragging all the way to after the election when it’ll be someone else’s problem.

And then there’s underinvestment in flood defences, no progress on low pollution agricultural reform, new houses on flood plains….

We are drowning in our Anthropocene.

Good folk of conscience will #ClimateVote over #dirtywater

Good lad.

#ClimateVote is inside the tent. Tories want to fight next election on climate action. I say bring it on.

Warmer winters and more flooding will be the norm in the UK, scientists warn https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/jan/06/warmer-winters-and-more-flooding-will-be-the-norm-in-the-uk-scientists-warn?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Not new news.

And despite the clear evidence, frequently presented by Mother Nature, the government chooses to fuel the problem with more O&G extraction while systematically denying and underfunding the adaptations required.

It’ll get worse until a climate majority emerges and demands change.

Next election, #ClimateVote

Warmer winters and more flooding will be the norm in the UK, scientists warn

The country should be building resilience into the infrastructure to counter flooding like that brought by Storm Henk, experts say

Chris Skidmore resigns Conservative whip over Sunak’s oil and gas licence plan https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/jan/05/chris-skidmore-resigns-conservative-whip-over-sunaks-oil-and-gas-licence-plan?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

When a Tory MP and ex energy minister resigns on principle due to government anti-climate legislation, you know the game’s gotta be over for Sunak & his oily cronies.

Gotta #ClimateVote these idiots out.
