Rejected petition A full House of Commons to debate climate change and the poor UK response to it.

The tiny attendance by MPs to the debate on 28 February 2019 on climate change, the first for two years, shows the indifference of the Government and Commons to this existential threat.The lack of press comment on this woeful shortcoming highlights the general indifference to the dangers facing us.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can't accept your petition because whether or not an individual MP attends a debate is their responsibility and not that of the UK Government or Parliament as a whole.

You could start a new petition calling on the Government to adopt specific policies to address climate change if that is something you would like the see happen.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
