Climate and Nature Bill — 24 Jan 2025 at 13:27

“It is mankind and his activities which are changing the environment of our planet in damaging and dangerous ways…We must use science to cast a light ahead”.

“But the threat to our world comes not only from tyrants and their tanks”-

“It can be more insidious though less visible. The danger of global warming is as yet unseen, but real enough for us to make changes and sacrifices, so that we do not live at the expense of future generations…We must remember our duty to Nature before it is too late.”

“This is climate breakdown-in real time. We must exit this road to ruin-and we have no time to lose.”

“the prospect of irretrievable damage to the atmosphere, to the oceans, to earth itself.”

“to require the United Kingdom to achieve climate and nature targets”

“reduces its overall contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions to net zero at a rate consistent with…achieving its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) emissions reduction targets”

“must include measures that…will achieve the objectives specified”

“limiting the United Kingdom’s total emissions of carbon dioxide, including territorial emissions”

“the exploration, extraction, export and import of fossil fuels…as rapidly as possible.”

“global emissions must peak this year and rapidly decline thereafter if we are to have a sliver of a hope of limiting long-term global temperature rise to 1.5°C.”

“Cheshire West and Chester is, in many ways, a microcosm of the UK. Few places can claim to have such a variety of key emitters and sectors located in one area.”

“showed just how dangerous life is at 1.5C.”
