Cumbria Coal Mine Revisited

 Another missive to my MP:


Dear Ms Richardson,

I make no apology for returning to the subject of the proposed Whitehaven coal mine. I understand that the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities is due to make a decision on whether the project should be approved on or about 17th August. May I urge you in the intervening period to do all you can to persuade the Secretary of State that to allow the project to go ahead would be, as I have stated before, rank stupidity. This summer we have been experiencing a foretaste of the damaging consequences of anthropogenic climate change. I believe it to be a dereliction of the duty ministers have to ensure the well-being of the nation's citizens to promote any activity that would add more CO2 to the atmosphere thereby exacerbating what is already becoming an existential crisis.

Yours sincerely

Richard Bawden
