A conversation with climate minister Katie White on whether the UK can reach its latest emissions goals without raising energy costs. #ukclimate
UK Climate Minister Katie White on navigating the decarbonization challenge amidst rising energy prices and political headwinds.

Not to mention 'unlocking' road building.
Oil industry is pushing the *idea* of sustainable aviation fuel so politicians think they can reconcile more flights with decreasing overall emissions.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves has backed airport expansion while we're in a climate emergency. Expanding airports like Heathrow, Luton and Gatwick won’t do much, if anything, for the communities that need growth the most. Instead, benefits will be enjoyed by shareholders and the wealthiest few who fly frequently. Airport expansions mean more subsidies for a heavily polluting industry - when we desperately need to be doing all we can to reduce emissions.

This matey video seems to have gained more viewers than did the publicity by top scientists, a retired general, Deborah Meaden, #JarvisCocker and one half of French and Saunders.

The National Emergency Briefing on Thursday has so far had very limited mainstream media coverage. We can fix that.

BREAKING🚨: Equinor has resubmitted its application to open the biggest undeveloped oil field in the UK - Rosebank.
In the next weeks, the UK gov will decide to reject or approve this disaster project.
Equinor hasn’t given up, and neither will we. We’re stepping things up.
The enormous Rosebank oil field is not compatible with a safe climate. https://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2025/jun/new-oil-and-gas-fields-incompatible-paris-climate-goals
#StopRosebank #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange #ClimateDiary #ukclimate #NorthSea 1/2
Opening any new North Sea oil and gas fields is incompatible with achieving the Paris Climate Agreement goals of limiting warming to 1.5°C or holding warming to “well below 2°C” relative to preindustrial levels, finds a new report published by UCL academics.
#The89Percent want more #ClimateAction, yet currently our representatives are more likely to be swayed by corporate misinformation than hear from experts.
Great chance to change this in the UK. https://nebriefing.org

Chris Packham's petition to ban fossil fuel advertising and sponsorship currently has 55,000 signatures. At 100,000 it gets a debate in the UK Parliament.

Please forward to all your UK media to help it over the line. Merely considering signing reduces the social licence to damage nature irrevocably!

Advertisements encourage the use of products and sponsorship promotes a positive reputation & creates a social licence of trust & acceptability. In 2003 a ban on all tobacco advertising was introduced and has arguably worked. I believe continued fossil fuel usage will kill more people than smoking.

🌍🚨 On September 30, 2024, the UK officially closed its last coal-fired power plant at Ratcliffe-on-Soar, marking the end of 142 years of coal-generated electricity. This huge milestone is part of the country’s broader plan to fully decarbonize by 2030 and lead the global shift towards renewable energy.
