CALL TO ACTION: Contact your MP about the CAN Bill today… No CAN Do!

You may remember we wrote to you about the Climate and Nature Bill (CAN Bill) before Christmas (read here).

The CAN Bill is like Net Zero on steroids. Were it to pass and ever be fully enacted, it threatens to take the UK back to pre-industrial times, with all the suffering that will entail.

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 o, n January 24 – next Friday – so please contact your MP about it ASAP… here’s how:

Step 1: Find out if your MP is listed as supporting the CAN Bill

Find the list of MPs HERE

(Not sure who your MP is? Find out by using your postcode HERE)

 

Step 2: Open up an email to your MP

Find their email HERE if you need to

 

Step 3: Email your MP using the relevant message template – adapt as you see fit, but be sure to include your name and address

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 ever fully enacted, threatens to take the UK back to pre-industrial times. Are your constituents aware of this reality?

The people of the UK already face huge challenges and hardships – many of them, like skyrocketing energy bills, directly traceable to Net Zero. That 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?

Climate And Nature Bill (CAN Bill) – No CAN Do!

The Climate and Nature Bill has its second reading this week.

Its objective is to reduce UK emissions, including imported ones, to close to zero during the 2030s. Currently those emissions are around 800 Mt a year, and the implication is that they will have to be cut to around 100 Mt by 2035 at the latest, dropping to near zero soon after.

What would this entail?

We actually have some idea, because the UK FIRES report, Absolute Zero, laid it all out in 2019.

They were of course talking about Net Zero in 2050, rather than 2040. So what they were planning for 2030-2049 would effectively apply to 2025 to 2040 if the CAN Bill is put into law. (The UK FIRES report also did not take into account imported emissions).

Taking them one-by-one:

  • Cars – to put a 1000kg car into perspective, the Nissan Leaf weighs double that. Given the weight of an EV battery, a one tonne car would be so tiny as to be useless. Absolute Zero also calls for a 40% cut in road use, but does not say how this could be enforced.
  • Flying – the chart says it all really! All airports bar Heathrow, Glasgow and Belfast to shut by 2029, and those three must also close soon after.
  • All shipping to be phased out.
  • Heating – full rollout of unaffordable heat pumps, with the natural gas network shut down by 2040 at the latest, meaning existing gas boilers would be unusable.
  • Food – all beef, lamb and presumably dairy gone, along with most imported food. Fertiliser use “greatly reduced”, a double whammy given that there would no longer be any manure.
  • Materials – no blast furnace steel, no cement, no plastics
  • Construction – reduced to renovation
  • And no fossil fuels at all.

All of this will happen in the next ten years or so, if the CAN Bill is passed.

In years to come, we will all look back and realise how badly we were duped about Net Zero. We were lied to about the costs, we were lied to about renewable energy being cheaper.

But probably the biggest lie of the lot was that we could achieve this green nirvana just by embracing renewable energy and planting a few trees.

I don’t remember being told that all our airports would be forced to shut, there would be no imports, no meat or dairy, food shortages, heating made unaffordable, driving impractical and too expensive for most and industries decimated.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
