Former head of UK climate change statutory advisor says clean tech developers are turning away from Britain “We are definitely seeing evidence of lost investment to other parts of the world” PM Rishi Sunak rolled back green policies last September ft.com/content/08c25a…
As USA fails to back production cuts in Global Plastics Treaty negotiations, aligning with Russia & China, "Delegates expressed concerns about the increased presence of fossil fuel lobbyists, who outnumbered the representatives of the EU delegations" ft.com/content/a13578…
UK Energy Secretary puts herself at odds wth actual business organisations CBI, Energy UK, Federation of Small Businesses who all advocate for opportunities of climate action Sure, if done badly it's a problem but only risk here is from govt incompetence telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/…
I raised a point of order & wrote to the @Conservatives, @metpoliceuk concerning reports the Tories are operating Facebook groups with disturbing hate speech, & even depicting the killing of @SadiqKhan. Susan Hall is a member of these groups - we need to know her involvement.👇🏾
A levy on extraction by fossil fuel companies could provide a huge cash pot to fund damage caused by climate change in worst affected countries, and assist in clean energy transition theguardian.com/environment/20…
.@doug_parr "the UK focus on nuclear power is now an obstacle to delivering net zero because it is sucking up time, energy and political bandwidth, which can be spent on more useful things.” #SayNo2SizewellC energymonitor.ai/features/nucle…
Says @GreenpeaceUK's @doug_parr: “#Nuclear power can’t bridge the gap between anything and anything. It is too slow. It is too expensive. It is a massive distraction.” #StopSizewellC energymonitor.ai/features/nucle…
Another day, another comment piece in the Telegraph that: a) has a pop at EVs b) says stuff about EVs that is pretty misleading This one, by @RossjournoClark, also says some fairly misleading things about road pricing So here's a thread to correct the narrative - buckle up!
More evidence, this time from an investment analyst, that UK lack of progress on buildings and transport now means it's becoming a laggard in the climate fight The Govt line of "we've done more than others so lets slow down" just doesn't stack up edie.net/uk-lags-behind…
Doug’s right. Again.
I’m bored of saying it but just remember all this is with the temperature rise of just over one degree when we’re heading towards 3°. And we won’t get net 0 until 2050. Racing towards the cliff.

Flooding will substantially damage UK harvest in 2024 after the wettest 18 months on record, driven by warm temps locally & globally This should (but likely won't) be a good corrective to the bunch who think 'we can just adapt' to climate change telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/04/0…
G20 nations put $142bn into fossil fuel expansion in poor countries Compare w $104bn for clean energy developments “While rich countries claim they can’t afford [finance for clean energy transition], they've no shortage of public funds for fossil fuels" theguardian.com/environment/20…

The cost of achieving a 90% clean grid using today’s technology is approximately zero. And this excludes the external costs of fossil fuels: climate impacts, air pollution, geopolitical instability. theclimatebrink.com/p/is-renewable…
This explicitly protects gas from having its lunch eaten in the CM by batteries as is currently happening, and combined with the proposal in the Baringa research to remove the price cap on gas means they'll be able to name their price up to 28GW. /14 assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/65e3a3a3…
Effectively this means that the CM will buy a certain volume of plant that are capable of producing without first being charged (i.e. gas) and then have a top-up auction where everything else gets to play. /13
There is too much focus on debt-to-GDP ratios. The UKs debt to GDP matches many OECD countries - many with higher growth than ours. Without directed green investment in productive capacity our debt to GDP ratio is likely to get worse not better. A point I made on @BBCr4today ⬇️
