2 Tories talk out climate bill - Snitty note to Mr. Cameron

Tue 14 Mar 2006, 11:30

As some people may know, Mr. Christopher Chope (Christchurch) (Con) and Mr. Eric Forth (Bromley and Chislehurst) (Con) managed to "talk out" the Climate Change and Sustainable Energy Bill yesterday.

Apparently this was against the wishes of the Conservative Party. So David Cameron, our local MP and now the bright eyed and bushy tailed leader of the Tories, needs to do some head-knocking immediately to stop a repeat from such climate change deniers (who set themselves up against the historically unprecedented consensus of scientists around the world who are getting into a state of severe anxiety about the rapidity of change in the last few years).

To reinforce the point, the BBC reports today that there has been a sudden acceleration in the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in the last year alone - the danger is that we are already seeing a tipping point being reached in the planet's ability to soak up increased CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions (like methane) being created by human actitivity. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4803460.stm

So ring Mr Cameron on the number given below, or through whatever numbers you may have for local offices, home or whatever (some people will know this due to his local connections). His email address and other contact details are:

From a press release:
As you may be aware, due to lengthy speeches and amendments by just two back-bench Tories (against their partys' wishes) the Climate Change and Sustainable Energy Bill did not complete its Report stage last Friday. However, the Bill does still have a chance of becoming law as it will return to the House this Friday 17th March.

Please email your MP (see template below) asking them to support this bill in parliament, this Friday.

Please also call your MP on 0207 219 3000
