So can we, as Liberal Democrats, talk about it lot, please?

It’s not just mitigation for the conditions in which we now find ourselves. It’s also major steps to reducing the causes of the climate emergency so that we limit how bad it will get. People around the world still don’t seem to understand! We’re heading for an uninhabitable earth for humanity!

I think moving away from central heating is the big unmentioned essential for cutting carbon emissions. Insulation helps of course.

This is the moment for Andy Burnham's new government to replace the water regulator as our Water Authority. That's what the Emergency needs to mandate water companies to stop leaks and sewage, support farmers with engineering muscle for water storage in ponds, lakes and reservoirs and EA in nature.

And having a National Emergency Broadcast by the PM so that everyone is up to speed with the issues, just like they did with COVID. Good that some of your MPs are supporting that call via @nebriefing.bsky.social and debates in Parliament. Now we need your whole party to call for that!
