Martin Corney - Campaigning In Cornwall

Another reason to stay with Europe.
Meanwhile "The UK has also come under criticism for increasing its support for fossil fuel projects by 11-fold to almost £2bn last year through the agency UK Export Finance. The agency’s funding for renewable energy developers fell at the same time."

This infuriates me. Our aid must help others stop destroying the planet, not pay them to do it.

A better way for Cornwall to farm.

Right-to-Buy being the fly left in the ointment. But this great and is how we should build in Cornwall, but with solar panels built in.

Looks good for a sustainable future.

Doubling the UK’s investment rate – with the bulk coming from the state – in green infrastructure, technologies and industry should create millions of good jobs and build low-carbon wealth.

Proof that Extinction Rebellion is getting more urgent.

Just to show it's not just the Guardian saying a renewables future is possible ;)

“These shocking figures show UKEF is increasingly undermining attempts to tackle our climate emergency. Instead of making renewable energy a priority, as UKEF assured us they were doing when they appeared before our inquiry in March, their own accounts show that support for fossil fuels has increased more than tenfold over the past year. Not only that, support for renewables has declined by a third.”

Climate is changing far more quickly than predicted. 2050 is way too late for net zero carbon.

I'm getting fed up of foreign governments messing with our internal politics. This is Putin's justification for fixing the Brexit referendum and trying to assassinate with terror weapons. Only the EU are standing up for our freedom; this Tory government is either too weak or agrees with him.
Well said - EU President Donald Tusk lashed out at Mr Putin on Friday, telling reporters "Whoever claims that liberal democracy is obsolete also claims that freedoms are obsolete, that the rule of law is obsolete and that human rights are obsolete," said Mr Tusk. "What I find really obsolete are authoritarianism, personality cults, the rule of oligarchs, even if sometimes they may seem effective," he added.

Wicked examples of the government claiming credit for European achievements while blaming Brussels for its own inaction or mismanagement.

Take back control - Whether you voted Leave or Remain - Is this what we want?

Our new Green MEPs need to fix this infiltration of the SAM by experts who are closely linked to industry (or are part of anti-regulation pressure groups) and have taken control of the EU’s new Science Advice Mechanism to allow mutagenic pesticides. One for Molly Scott Cato to investigate.

Dr Strangelove rides again. Very worrying on several levels; including US administrative incompetence.

Renewables are growing - we can win the fight against global heating and climate catastrophe.

Another dangerous tipping point being crossed.

Another reason why political action is urgent. - Melting permafrost effectively introduces a new country at number two on the highest emitters list, and one that isn’t accounted for in current IPCC models.
