To Climate Action Network W Midlands

Dear Simbi

Thanks for the email.

My climate action for the G7 and COP 26 is a mass (more than just me!) letter/email/text/twitter - writing and phoning campaign to names and addresses here
and many others - to climate educate that, in burning our finite supply of fossil fuels we have unsuspectingly released a Pandora's Box of unintended consequences and horrors. We must now live much more lightly on the planet to minimise travel and maximise simpler lifestyles. "To tread more lightly on the planet" as Jonathon Porritt wrote many decades ago!

Spending = fossil fuels burnt = greenhouse gases emitted = the natural greenhouse effect dangerously enhanced = a runaway greenhouse effect that venus has = THE END! (venus is hotter than mercury even though mercury is nearer the sun)

Therefore, billions of greenhouse gases for extensions to HS2 (£106 bn), Metro (£15 bn), Sprint (£1 bn) is not a good idea when that money should be used, now, to cut greenhouse gases in the medium to long term and not make things even worse - and quite unnecessarily, too!

Or, am I completely wrong, mistaken, deluded? Is there anyone, out there, who agrees with me?!
