The effects of hitting 3 degrees warming (basically where we're headed) are 'comparable to the economic damage caused by fighting a war domestically and permanently.'

Fighting a war, permanently. That's what we're leaving our kids. Cool.

Seems kinda stupid to block 30% of farms from having solar given the government's own assessment of how gas prices have put pressure on farm businesses (graphic from HMG's food security index, yesterday).

WOW 1GW of battery storage from Octopus Energy already, using ~1/6 of UK EVs.

We crunched the numbers on what the UK's grid needs by 2030 and found at least 6GW was obvious. green-alliance.org.uk/briefing/why-a… I'm beginning to think we seriously underestimated things...

Food security in the UK is 'broadly stable' says new govt index

But officials warn climate change poses a long-term risk to food security, citing recent wet winter and spring

Feels like short-term risk to me, but \_(ツ)_/¯

Fresh from talking up a more dangerous world, the PM tomorrow will host a 'food security' conference. But is there more to this than pre-election politics? A 🧵 on what we should mean by food security, ending with some hope! 1/

Climate damages are '6X LARGER than previously thought', says new NBER working paper

– every 1C wipes out 12% of global GDP
– every tonne of CO2 causes >$1,000 of damages

Gernot Wagner tells me: 'Assuming nobody finds a flaw in this paper, it is going to truly change things'
