We wrote about the Climate and Nature Bill (CAN Bill) before Christmas (read here).
Although it is a private member’s bill, which makes its passage more challenging, shockingly it is supported by 194 MPs, or 30% of the total.
The bill is having its second reading in Parliament on January 24 – next Friday – so please contact your MP about it ASAP.

Option A: Use if your MP is NOT listed as supporting CAN Bill
Are you aware of the frighteningly out of touch Climate and Nature Bill that is due a second reading in Parliament on 24 Jan?
The Bill is Net Zero ‘on steroids.’ Consider only one of the proposals, ‘ensuring the end of the exploration, extraction, export and import of fossil fuels by the United Kingdom as rapidly as possible’.
At the risk of stating the obvious, oil, coal and gas provide nearly three-quarters of our primary energy, and just about everything in our modern world and UK industry depends utterly on oil and gas and the byproducts thereof.
This Bill, if ever fully enacted, threatens to take the UK back to pre-industrial times, with all the suffering that will entail.
Will you use your influence to ensure this frightening Bill is never allowed to become a reality? And will you publicly oppose it?
Option B: Use if your MP IS listed as supporting the CAN Bill
I was extremely concerned to see you listed as one of the MPs supporting the frighteningly out of touch Climate and Nature Bill.
Among other things, the Bill calls for ‘ensuring the end of the exploration, extraction, export and import of fossil fuels by the United Kingdom as rapidly as possible’. You are aware I hope that oil, coal and gas provide nearly three-quarters of our primary energy? Furthermore, you do understand that just about everything in our modern world, and almost the entirety of UK industry, depends on oil and gas and the byproducts thereof?
These fuels are not killing us. They are keeping us alive on an otherwise hostile planet.
This Bill, if fully enacted, threatens to take the UK back to pre-industrial times. Are your constituents aware of this reality? Would they support it for one second if they were?
The people of the UK already face huge challenges and hardships – many of them, like skyrocketing energy bills, directly traceable to Net Zero. That some MPs should be advancing even more extreme and ill-thought-through proposals is worrying.
To vote in support of this Bill at the second reading due 24 Jan would be to vote in favour a catastrophic de-developing of Britain with all the suffering that will entail. Surely you wouldn’t wish to be associated with something so unmoored from reality?
