Ban fossil fuels by 2050, increase renewable energy sources and plant more trees

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

It is clear that climate change is an urgent issue and not enough has been done about it. The issue is being ignored and should be the main concern as it affects every single person in the country in some way.
https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.economist.com/leaders/2018/10/13/why-the-ipccs-report-on-global-warming-matters#ampf=undefined Is a clear source of evidence that we are not doing enough. The ice caps are melting and the thick ice at the north and South Pole are a way of reflecting some of the sun light back to space keeping the earth cool. We need to keep the ice caps from melting.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We aren't sure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take to increase renewable energy sources.

We already have petitions on banning fossil fuels and planting more trees. You are more likely to get action on an issue if you sign and share a single petition:

Government: honour your manifesto pledge to plant 11m trees by 2020

Declare a Climate Emergency, end fossil fuel use and build community resilience.
