Overall reaction:
John Sauven, Executive Director of Greenpeace UK, said:
“Hammond’s first Budget could have put the UK on course to lead the global race for clean technology, healthy air and a strong economy. To really ‘prepare Britain for a brighter future’ the Chancellor should have used this moment to gain an advantage by boldly backing offshore wind power, supporting solar and driving consumers towards cleaner cars.

Commenting on the LibDem manifesto, Greenpeace UK chief scientist Dr Doug Parr said:
"If many of these pledges on energy and nature protection were to be enacted it would be a huge win for the environment. Now we need to know where the red lines are in any negotiations with potential coalition partners, and how high up the priority list environmental improvement is for the Lib Dems. Are their red lines green?"

Transferrable skills allow you to adapt to a changing job market
The Telegraph
and the Mail have both told MPs that they
think climate change is man-made.
If this is an April Fool’s joke, I’m not amused, but
assuming it’s real, job done, that’s the end of mainstream media denial.

Responding to the reported comments from Prime Minister David Cameron on green taxes, Joss Garman, deputy political director at Greenpeace, said:
“If David Cameron thinks the road to electoral victory will be found in attacking the very policies that he once passionately advocated then he is sorely mistaken. The British electorate are a sophisticated bunch who will see through his chameleon tendencies and conclude this attack is not an act of leadership but one of cowardice as he panders to the extreme wing of his own party and tries to claw back support from Ukip.

#vote4cleanpower outside the House of Lords
Yesterday I was lucky enough to be in the House of Lords to see
the latest instalment of the decarbonisation
target saga unfold. This is the
target which would see carbon removed from the UK’s electricity system by 2030.
It should be in the Energy Bill but isn't, because George Osborne fought
to keep it out.

Lord Lawson, chairman of the sceptic tank GWPF
Lean,
mean budgeting machine Lord Nigel Lawson is back in the news, still resolutely
sceptical but, for a change, not about climate science. He’s returned to his
old stamping ground, the European Union, and is now being resolutely sceptical
about that. These
two positions, climate scepticism and euroscepticism, are complementary.

Boris Johnson has a message for "scientists and
environmentalists". Or at least, it’s addressed to scientists and
environmentalists, although if I were trying to reach that particular audience,
I might not have chosen the Telegraph.
In fact, I’d probably be more likely to try to put an article in the Telegraph
if I was trying to reach Tory backbench MPs. But that’s just me.
