"We see the same tendency at the individual level, with greater faith in technological solutions going hand in hand with less engagement in climate action. Yet technology cannot substitute for the broader societal changes and large-scale shifts in consumption that are also needed"

The image is of a four panel comic.
In panel one, we see a crow’s face. It says, “I AM DEATH’S MESSENGER”.
In panel two, we see the same crow’s face. It continues, “YOUR TIME IS NEAR”.
In panel four, we see the crow awkwardly hopping away from a stick figure.
In panel five, we see the grim reaper with the crow perched on his hand. The grim reaper says, “So you should probably fly away dramatically instead.”

Adrian Ramsay
MP for Waveney Valley

"The hottest summer on record requires a response that meets the needs of the moment and our future, and the expected decision to allow new North Sea drilling would be a betrayal to a public that expects and wants more action on climate change. 

The summer has seen unprecedented wildfires, a drought and it's thought that thousands of people have died as a result of hot weather. 

This is a major threat to our country and we need the Government to step up."

Image of an origami paper tiger, accompanied by text that says: "Carbon capture is a paper tiger. New fossil fuel infrastructure for data centres is not going to be 'decarbonised' by a costly, risky, and failed technology. Even its proponents won't pay for it... and will sue if they're actually required to build it. New gas just means new emissions."
