Parliament

What's going on in Parliament.

Sites: ePolitix (keep track of legislation), Public Whip (track voting records), the EDM List, and the UK Parliament (debates and publications). The Environmental Audit Committee accepts written and oral evidence from witnesses that really do know how little the government is doing.

"Parliaments" are political. Here are some political measures to address Climate Change

Since we are all supposed to worship market forces these days, increasing the price of energy is the obvious way to reduce consumption. A tax on energy would do this.

Two Things To consider

June 4, 2009 by ChrisStrev

Hi,

 

I have made a study of climate change over the last 30 years. The temperature and the solar output (neutron flux) has increased steadily over the last 100 years then in 2006 the neutron flux suddenly stabilised then went down. I looked at this data (called Be10 lean slice) from the NOAA page and from the antarctic ice core studies on that page. The prediction they give is based on long term studies. There seems to be a 500 year cycle of hot to hot with a cold period in between. This has been going on for millions of years.

The relative importance of Swine Flu

May 17, 2009 by Robin Emley

Every house in Britain has recently received a leaflet from the government about Swine Flu.  At a time of a potential national threat, their action seems to me entirely proper.

So why can't they send out a similar leaflet to raise the public's awareness of the actual threat caused by the imminent decline of the cheap energy that we all currently use so much of?  Younger voters, in particular, need to be hearing this message loud and clear, so that they will start to demand that their political leaders make the necessary provisions for future years.

Can we persuade Alan Simpson to stand as an independent?

February 19, 2007 by jimroland

Alan Simpson, MP for Nottingham South, has declared an intention to stand down as a Labour MP at the next election - BBC News.

Does anyone agree with petitioning him to stand as an independent 'anti-greenwash' candidate? This is, after all, someone who practises what he preaches.

"In a letter to his constituency party members, the MP said a Gordon Brown-led premiership would be even worse.

"Mr Simpson, 58 and first elected for Nottingham South in 1992, said there were "not enough" good Labour MPs.

Microgeneration - Not Macro-Nuclear !

May 16, 2006 by jo

You know how it is - you're sat waiting for a train that's nearly an hour away because some poorly managed engineering works have completely ruined the normal timetable - and so you get to cogitating, ruminating, pondering, musing... so I wrote a letter to my MP about how Nuclear Power is not the answer to Climate Change. I've sent it via http://www.theyworkforyou.com and I've posted it on a little-known and rarely-accessed website http://www.workface-limited.co.uk/html/antinuclear.html and I feel so much better now.
