🚨 UK emissions are still unsustainable, and we are one of the world's biggest emitters.

👷🏼‍♂️🌱We need a #JustTransition led by oil and gas workers, their unions and affected communities.

🌎 Approving a huge new oil field before #COP26 would undermine climate action. #StopCambo

UK transport strategy due tomorrow

FT has the leak

Key context:

1️⃣Transport is biggest contributor to UK greenhouse gas emissions
2️⃣ Shift to EVs saves UK £££
3️⃣ Shift to active travel saves 🚑££
4️⃣ Shift from fuel duty to road pricing is still pay per mile (but more flex) https://twitter.com/Petercampbell1/status/1414849688038150146

In the last few weeks:
➡ Lytton hit 49.6°C & burned to the ground in minutes
➡ Siberia hit 48°C
➡ 54.4°C in Death Valley.
➡ Billions of sea creatures baked.
➡Millions facing #climate famine in Madagascar
➡It's still July
Why isn't this all we're talking about?

Will Britain have enough skilled installers to deliver the planned shift to heat pumps? And can we secure manufacturing jobs by making the devices here?

My piece today featuring @OctopusEnergy (spoiler: they think the answer to both questions is ‘yes’)

The press need to stop reporting on walking and cycling schemes from the angle of the few outraged drivers as if they're representing the whole community.

In urban areas, the majority of people want to see walking and cycling schemes, and road safety/climate action.
