Notes from a civilised country…

I’m also looking forward to this new programme on climate change, our response and our choices - from Chris Packham tomorrow. It’s the biggest challenge we - and our children - face this century.

You know when you think - it’s bad , it’s actually as bad as it could be , nothing could make things any worse . . . then . . . bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

This is pure political game-playing from Sunak, but all of us will pay the price. Delaying energy efficiency measures will mean higher bills & more emissions. Delaying green investment will mean fewer jobs & less prosperity. Delaying petrol ban will mean dirtier air. What a farce

Science is very clear. It’s not net zero in 2050 that must be the headline goal, but cutting emissions before then, including 50% cut by 2030. Delaying action deepens peril for our children & grandchildren. Think Libya, Greece, mass migration & all the rest, & on a massive scale.

How many people have actually voted for Rishi Sunak? Net zero.

BREAKING - #Rosebank oilfield just given go-ahead - the greatest act of environmental vandalism in my lifetime, causing emissions equal to 28 lowest income countries, busting #climate targets & doing nothing for energy security since vast majority is for export #climatecriminals

Just when you think it can’t get any worse… the consequences of these decisions are going to bite us hard. Rishi Sunak this will be the legacy of your government. You’ve got money in your sights so damn the rest of us…. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla…

Hugh Town and Porthcressa bay, St Mary's, in 1955. Just under a decade before sea defences were put in, you can just about see the marram grass/hottentot fig banking at the top of the beach!
