  1. theguardian.com/environment/20. Who are these so-called #climate #campaigners, @guardian? The #IPPR? Since when have THEY been "climate campaigners"? Accurate, truthful #journalism WOULD be appreciated, instead of this great steaming pile of horse manure! #Air #conditioning will only make matters WORSE, by increasing #carbon #emissions! If the IPPR are calling for this, they are calling for the wrong thing, & they are NOT climate campaigners!

  8. Is it just me or is the world going mad?

    The #IPPR have just released a major report on ill health and its effects on the economy. They acknowledge that things have got much worse since #covid19 came along.

    Hell, they even show this graph:

    And they make some broadly sensible recommendations, but absolutely none of them is about mitigating the risks of covid.

    Recommendations for free vaccines? Nope. Better air quality? Nope. Masking in healthcare settings? Also nope.

  10. "The term the ‘sick man of Europe’ is often used to describe countries going through severe economic turmoil or social unrest. In Britain today, it has become a more literal reality.
    We lag our peers on health outcomes, the number of people with a long-term condition is rising, and people are spending longer proportions of their lives in poor health.”

  12. Wealthy white men from rural areas are the UK’s biggest emitters of climate-heating gases from transport, according to a study by the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR).
    The richest 0.1% in Britain emit 22 times more from transport than low earners & 12 times more than average. Income is directly linked to levels of mobility.
    In the UK, transport is now the largest source of emissions.

  14. Carsten Jung from #IPPR calls for more investment to fund the clean energy transition.
    So far so good.
    But he then defends it because it will create more economic growth.
    He's either been asleep or is a bad economist.
    #GDP growth a) is not needed to defend sound investment.b) it makes climate mitigation more not less difficult.

    "Instead of arguing over such red herrings, Labour and the Conservatives should be debating how such investment should be spent.." Yes.

  16. A #report from the #IPPR and #CommonWealth thinktanks: "Global GDP could be 8% higher than it is now had market power not risen. Labour income is likely significantly lower, and economic dynamism is weaker – with poorer choice, worse product quality and fewer economic opportunities – than in a counterfactual world where big corporations were less dominant"

  18. 💰 #Profiteering from the #WarInEurope has played a significant role in boosting #inflation during 2022, according to a report that calls for a global corporation tax to curb excess profits

    The report from the #IPPR and #CommonWealth thinktanks found that business profits rose by 30% among UK-listed firms, driven by just 11% of firms that made super-profits based on their ability to push through stellar price increases – often dubbed #greedflation
