Reckless Trumpism from Badenoch, abandoning Net Zero. Not a care for the actual evidence. The Climate Change Committee has shown that investing in Net Zero will deliver the UK annual savings of around £20 billion by 2045 and almost £40bn by 2050. This is echoed by many others: 🧵

“The facts are clear: Net Zero isn’t just essential to avoid climate catastrophe—it’s the smart economic choice. Here’s why” www.zerohour.uk/net-zero-sav...

Badenoch’s anti-science rejection of Net Zero is a shameless move to stoke culture wars. 1️⃣ The Climate Change Committee has shown that investing in Net Zero will generate UK annual savings of almost £40bn every year by 2050, delivering lasting prosperity. Other experts agree—here are just some: 🧵

Ash Smith from the @windrushwasp.bsky.social campaign explaining why he supports a national debate on the public ownership of water industry. Ask your MP to attend on 28th March for @labourlewis' private members bill. Link mpwatch.org/support-clea... ⁦ @extinctionrebellion.uk #OurWaterOurWay

🚜 On 11 March, the Government announced a pause in nature-friendly farming payments—the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI). www.independent.co.uk/climate-chan... 👇 Here's why that’s disastrous for climate and nature. 🧵

💧 It's not just #LakeWindermere. It's all our rivers, lakes and waterways. We need new legislation locked into UK law to protect nature, tackle sewage pollution and reform our broken water system. ✊ We're proud to back @labourlewis.bsky.social’s Water Bill. 🧭 @compassoffice.bsky.social

Our 1️⃣7️⃣ year old laws are insufficient, incomplete and outdated. 📉 Too weak to drive action in the crucial near-term. ✈️ Ignore a major part of the UK’s carbon footprint from our offshored imports. 🌍 Domestic targets are 3️⃣3️⃣% too high to meet Britain’s (non-binding) 2030 international commitments.

Costa Rica has massively rewilded over recent decades. Has this led to the collapse of farming, rural society, or national wellbeing? Totally the opposite, and we in Ireland have SO much to learn from their example. My piece for the @irishexaminer.bsky.social www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/ou...

Despite plain evidence, some MPs say we don’t need to update our climate laws👇 Say they’ll do the right thing anyway. But at every stage, short-term comes before long-term safety & security.

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again—and expecting different results. Water privatisation has failed. It's time to rethink ownership. Thank you, Clive, Feargal and all those backing this essential legislative plan. #OurWaterOurWay @compassoffice.bsky.social

HUGE NEWS 🎉: The UK Government has made good on its commitment to stop new oil and gas licensing. This is a vital step towards ending our reliance on fossil fuels. Now the UK gov must go further and ensure a fast and fair transition.

🚨 BREAKING: COURT OF APPEAL FAILS TO PROTECT CITIZENS Today the sentences of 10 of the 16 were upheld, and Gaie and the Whole Truth Five had their sentences reduced by between 2 months to a year.

We agree with Rick. 👇

💧 Clive’s Bill represents a golden opportunity to resolve the crisis in how we regulate, use, and look after our life-giving water system. We’re proud to join a coalition of organisations who care about water, the environment, democracy, and our bills. zerohour.uk/ourwaterourway #OurWaterOurWay

Cutting the UK’s aid budget isn’t merely a false economy, or a financial retreat—it’s a betrayal of trust—and a direct threat to our intertwined fights for climate justice and nature restoration. zerohour.uk/development-aid-reduces-conflict-whats-changed-keir

💧Whilst we welcome steps taken by Gov to clean up Lake Windermere—rivers & lakes across the country are in a desperate state. 🐝 @sioldridge.bsky.social outlines on @listentotimesradio.bsky.social why legislation is needed to protect the natural world—on which we depend. youtube.com/shorts/ekUeg...

🦇 Remember Liz Truss’ infamous #AttackOnNature? 🦎 Remember the “anti-growth coalition”? 📣 The requirement for developers to offset environmental damage done on sites as a condition of planning is THE MINIMUM we should expect.

🏞️The #CANBill remains as crucial as ever. But time is ticking for the government to strengthen and improve UK climate and nature legislation⏳ We need to know how - and when - they plan to take forward the fight for real change👇

🌍 Ed Miliband—after the Climate and Nature Bill debate on 24 January, you promised to work towards real change for climate and nature. 📅 Will you commit to a meeting with Zero Hour and take forward the spirit of the #CANBill via future legislation? ⏳ We’re counting on you. 👉 zerohour.uk
