Fossil gas imports don’t mean energy security. They lock countries into price shocks, supply risks & geopolitical dependence.

This is the report I spoke of on #bbcaq just now - ministers tried to suppress it, were finally forced to release it after an FoI, but shamefully only published a redacted version. The first duty of Govt is to protect its citizens - that starts with being honest with us about scale of threat we face
This is the UK security assessment that the government tried to bury: ecosystem collapse is a national security threat.

Iconic road in South Devon destroyed due to climate change - rising sea levels and more powerful storms.
The situation is worsening with critical infrastructure at risk. But the UK is not prepared.
It's time for the Government to level with the public.

If you want less wildfires in Scotland…#StopRosebank
Firefighters in Scotland spent over 2,500 hours responding to devastating wildfires last year.
Wildfires are lasting longer, and spreading wider - increasing the pressure on fire crews.
We must match climate action to the scale of climate breakdown.
