Hello John

Could MPs be the least climate-informed group in the UK ? - and yet our futures are in their hands.

Prof Emily Shuckburgh, Director of Cambridge Zero, said that it was “deeply troubling that any MP would have the basics of climate science so wrong”.^[1]

MP Watch^[2] is a group set up to monitor and boost MPs' understanding of the science; the health, social and economic ramifications of inaction; and the electoral consequences of delay.

If you want to hold your MP to account, join the upcoming webinar - all welcome!

Tue, 18th July at 7.30-8.30pm

The next election is an opportunity to get our voices heard. It’s the only time that our politicians and the media are interested in the views of voters.

There are already over 23 MP Watch groups around the country and the aim is to establish 100 before the next election.

Visit the MP Watch website for more information or follow on Twitter or YouTube.

PS While global temperatures continue to break records, the UK Government continues to miss their own net zero targets. Plans are unfolding for a ‘Heat Strike’ action by a coalition of groups - register for a zoom call this Thursday at 7pm to find out more.
