As we spend Β£264bn on a spurious technology, we damage Nature's readymade, huge, #carboncapture system, the ocean with our refusal to limit our emissions.

Hard to think of a more damaging start to Burnhamβs premiership than giving green light to new oil & gas in N. Sea, if true. It wonβt lower bills or lead to greater energy security but will drive an even hotter more dangerous planet #ClimateVandalism
Greater Manchester deserves a mayor that works for its people, not big money.
