• 28 Nov 2021: Tweet

  It honestly never crossed my mind that I’d be dogpiled for supporting Scotland’s efforts to tackle climate change. Especially given I’ve tweeted about Just Transition 7 times since August ???? https://twitter.com/SallyBlackledg1/status/1464946510383173641 [Source]

• 28 Nov 2021: Tweet

  It’s distressing how many folk don’t know what a Just Transition is. We must move away from reliance on fossil fuels. If you haven’t heard of the sterling work Scot Gov is doing on this, I recommend having a look at this link: https://www.gov.scot/publications/transition-fairer-greener-scotland/ https://twitter.com/KirstySNP/status/1464616716969951242 [Source]

  Really pleased to join @theSNP conference delegates supporting a resolution on Just Transition. Scotland is leading the world on Just Transition. With @RichardLochhead overseeing and directing this work on behalf of the Scottish Government. [Source]

• 19 Nov 2021: Tweet

  We need to get the UK government to AT THE VERY LEAST match fund Scot Gov’s Just Transition money. [Source]

• 19 Nov 2021: Tweet

  We must be ambitious and we must cut our oil and gas use and reliance. We need to decarbonise our electricity supply, decarbonise our heating. We need to increase our renewables productions and jobs. [Source]

• 19 Nov 2021: Tweet

  Whether or not we tackle climate change is not optional. We must do so. We must have a just transition and we must ensure the new jobs in new techs are (as far as possible) in those places that will be ramping down oil extraction. [Source]

  There are at least 2 sections that make no sense at all, the government rejected amendments to ensure net zero commitments are considered, and we are only up to clause 31/91. [Source]

• 20 Oct 2021: Tweet

  @miffyduff Do you don’t think I should support the Scottish CCUS cluster? My constituents think I should. What should I be doing instead? [Source]

• 20 Oct 2021: Tweet

  @miffyduff It's 0940. I've met with the Scottish CCUS cluster this morning and updated colleagues on their position. I've posted about net zero ambitions and how the tories will (as ever) screw over the most vulnerable folk. I've prepped for a debate this pm and worked on amends to a bill. [Source]

  I’ve been following along with the incredibly impressive work of the Scottish CCUS cluster for a number of years now. I am gutted that the UK Government has not chosen to progress this project in the first round. [Source]

  But I believe this deal is a good one. I believe it is the right thing to do. Tackling climate change, Covid recovery, and tackling inequality must be Scotland's key priorities, and this deal allows the Scottish Government to focus on these. [Source]

• 20 Aug 2021: Tweet

  Tackling climate change is also imperative. We must slow the damage so we are able to pass the planet to our children, and so our children can pass it to theirs. A big reduction in oil use has to come more quickly than we planned for even a decade ago. [Source]

• 03 Jul 2021: Tweet

  On top of and amongst all of this, importantly for Aberdeen, we are moving faster towards a Just Transition than ever, and we need to have a say in this to ensure individuals and communities are consulted and protected. [Source]
