Stop the opening of the new coal mine in Cumbria

Petition Details

The mine will provide coking coal for UK’s steel industry but have massive implications on carbon emissions & environmental health. 85% would be exported. Greener alternatives are available, and if invested, could create a number of greener jobs. In addition, the demand for coking coal is declining

Additional Information

The Climate Crisis is a health crisis and threatens to undermine the improvements to public health over the last 50 years.
Opening this mine shows huge hypocrisy and goes against all the promises made to reduce our fossil fuel consumption in the UK. It certainly does not make us appear to be world leaders in the environmental field
