Despite having only 12 years to prevent runaway climate change, plans for an opencast coal mine continue to cast a shadow over the Northumberland coast.
Last year the government rejected the proposed mine because of climate change. But the mining company challenged the decision – forcing the government to reconsider its application.
Communities Secretary James Brokenshire is about to decide whether to approve the application. If it goes ahead, millions of tonnes of coal would be extracted and burned. This would be a disaster for the climate and the local community.
Now’s our chance to stop the coal mine by showing the strength of public support for tackling climate change.
Sign our petition and tell the minister to end the era of coal.
