Ed Davey's Climate-related Tweets, Speeches & Votes

We've found the following climate-related tweets, speeches & votes by Ed Davey

• 01 Nov 2024: Tweet

  This month's COP summit is a chance to restore UK leadership on climate change, so disastrously lost under the Conservatives. At PMQs this week, I challenged the Prime Minister to do just that by committing to committing to the target set out by the independent @theCCCuk. https://x.com/EdwardJDavey/status/1852380806339002383/video/1 [Source]

• 20 Sep 2023: Tweet

  In 2018 Boris Johnson said f*** business On Monday, Liz Truss said scrap net zero targets Today Rishi Sunak has done both in one fell swoop [Source]

  Ban on Fracking for Shale Gas Bill - Pro-climate vote: Aye - Their vote: Aye

• 13 Nov 2021: Tweet

  The COP26 deal represents a huge diplomatic failure for the Prime Minister, exposes an alarming refusal to act by China and Russia and leaves the world teetering on the brink of climate catastrophe unless world leaders revisit this deal urgently. [Source]

• 12 Nov 2021: Tweet

  As #COP26 draws to a close, this year's theme for my constituency Christmas Card competition is 'A Climate Friendly Christmas'. I look forward to seeing entries from children and young people from across Kingston & Surbiton. More info here ???? http://www.eddavey.org/christmas_card https://x.com/EdwardJDavey/status/1459200314570063875/video/1 [Source]

• 12 Nov 2021: Tweet

  @pippaheylings is an inspiring campaigner for her local environment and championed the cause at COP26. Pippa's passion for the environment would make her an excellent MP for South Cambridgshire. We need her in Parliament! https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/lib-dems-blue-wall-south-cambridgeshire-tories-general-election-pippa-heylings_uk_618d2d91e4b0ab5f28465242 [Source]

• 10 Nov 2021: Tweet

  I fear this is kicking the can down the road and managing expectations after disappointing #COP26 rather than beating the existential climate crisis. If we fail to get China to act then 1.5 degrees will be a pipe dream and failure of global leadership. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/nov/10/cop26-draft-calls-for-tougher-emissions-pledges-by-next-year [Source]

• 06 Nov 2021: Tweet

  Fantastic to visit #COP26 and chat to the UK delegation here. We are making progress but we still need much more action from China and from fossil fuel companies ???? https://x.com/EdwardJDavey/status/1457025473775640578/video/1 [Source]

• 04 Nov 2021: Tweet

  Really great fun to chat to @patrickkmaguire at the Times Red Box ahead of my trip Glasgow to COP26 tonight ???? https://t.co/B61eWd7DX9 [Source]

• 03 Nov 2021: Tweet

  A private jet to a private party with a climate change denier. The mask slips. https://t.co/HlWIbr9n0S [Source]

• 03 Nov 2021: Tweet

  If we do not force fossil fuel money out of the City of London we will never stop climate change. The Chancellor’s plan, that net zero is *not* to be mandatory for the world’s largest polluters, financed in City of London, is a serious mistake. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-59136214 [Source]

• 02 Nov 2021: Tweet

  The Prime Minister can spin it however he likes, but if the West do not get China on board, COP26 is a failure. [Source]

  The co-leader of the Scottish so called Greens is more interested in using COP26 for his nationalist agenda than tackling the climate emergency. Speaks volumes about their priorities. https://x.com/EdwardJDavey/status/1455486836265074691/photo/1 [Source]

• 01 Nov 2021: Tweet

  Don’t be distracted by Boris Johnson bluster. If we want to stop the Climate Emergency we have to get China on board, it’s as simple as that. My experience from the COPs here ???? https://www.standard.co.uk/comment/china-success-glasgow-cop26-air-pollution-ed-davey-b963659.html [Source]

• 01 Nov 2021: Tweet

  Boris Johnson has blustered his way to #COP26 and it is starting to show. For COP to have any chance of success, the Prime Minister needs to stop just talking about 'Global Britain' and start putting it into action. https://twitter.com/LibDems/status/1455172631179796482 [Source]

• 19 Oct 2021: Tweet

  £200million? This Government is spending more on a royal yacht. The climate crisis demands real ambition and investment. The Conservatives aren't up to it. https://twitter.com/paulwaugh/status/1450390317803397125 [Source]

• 18 Oct 2021: Tweet

  We are in the middle of a cost of living crisis and a climate emergency but the govt is failing to invest properly in making our homes net zero for 6 years. Boris Johnson misses the mark again - not enough climate funding, not enough climate ambition https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-58959045 [Source]

• 10 Aug 2021: Tweet

  With Covid and Climate Change Boris Johnson is always more interested in what his backbenchers want than what the country needs. There are still plenty of climate deniers in the Tory party which is as frightening as it is tragic. https://twitter.com/politicshome/status/1425034858355740681 [Source]

• 20 Apr 2021: Tweet

  This is really worrying. The climate crisis hasn't gone away because of the pandemic. A recovery that isn't green will be a failed recovery. We need to take this opportunity to clean up our air, to create green jobs and to cut our emissions. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/apr/20/carbon-emissions-to-soar-in-2021-by-second-highest-rate-in-history [Source]

• 01 Mar 2021: Tweet

  Johnson’s failure to step in and stop this coal mine - especially in the year the UK hosts key climate talks - confirms the suspicion that his new-found interest in climate change is yet another act. Appalling. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-56223327 [Source]

• 17 Jan 2021: Tweet

  Liberal Democrats have always fought for environmental protection and green policies. The climate emergency now demands even greater ambition. I'm calling for a bold Green Economic Recovery Plan to create new jobs in Britain & tackle the huge threat of the climate crisis. #Marr https://x.com/EdwardJDavey/status/1350760275851374592/video/1 [Source]

• 04 Sep 2020: Tweet

  Tony Abbott has made misogynistic and homophobic remarks and he is a climate change denier. He simply has no place in any British Government - mind you, judging on his own record and taste in advisers, neither does Boris Johnson. https://twitter.com/BethRigby/status/1301919766660161537 [Source]

  @layanglicana Sure. Youth unemployment is set to rocket & this is our last chance to tackle climate emergency. So need a dramatic plan to train & retrain people in the green skills we need - immediately underpinned with jobs like home insulation, green heating systems & nature restoration [Source]

Our post-Covid recovery must be a green recovery! #ClimateAssemblyUK https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/jun/23/uk-public-supports-green-recovery-from-coronavirus-crisis [Source]

  Brilliant: getting the economy back on track after #CoronaCrisis and helping tackle the #ClimateEmergency. This is what the UK should be part of, and could be leading.
