  1. You could say that even high profile academics were sold on the potential of carbon capture to allow fossil fuels to be part of the energy mix into a #netZero future. But that was always a fantasy.

    This concerted distraction was a convenient excuse to entertain decades of delay on actions that would have actually helped habitability.

  3. As Britain bakes, ministers quietly park plans for solar carports

    "Despite those potential benefits, ministers concluded in a single-sentence update on the consultation page that the proposal “will not be taken any further at this point“. The decision was so understated, it attracted little attention [...] the day before Britain entered a record-breaking May heatwave."

  7. A part of me want the heatwave to last a bit longer until the gov is forced to take immediate action and start moving towards #NetNegative instead of #NetZero. Such a move will leave a lot of oligarchs butthurt, so I guess no.

  9. Air conditioners are just air-air heat pumps running backwards. We have 10 days of cooling need and 180 of heating in the UK. Potential for huge carbon emissions reductions there, if anyone was thinking ahead. Run the aircon off solar and get lower carbon heating all winter. #netzero

  10. “The #climate transition is one of the largest drivers of industrial job creation in the UK #economy. The #NetZero economy generates output worth over £100bn and employs over a million workers. The workers driving the green transition need #union representation, good wages and champions in government.”

  12. Here's an uneasy question. Let's say we get to Net-Zero tomorrow, will the climate go back to how it was? The sad answer is, not in our lifetime, nor in the next millennium. But if we don't get to Net-Zero, things will get worse.

    Please boost this! I know on Mastodon we are preaching to the converted, talking amongst ourselves, etc. But perhaps we still need reminding to support those politicians in a position to get Net Zero done. Whatever the failings of Labour in UK (I know many on here are sceptical of Burnham), they're in power for now and need support for green agenda.

  16. Yes, @simon_brooke #NetZero was always a fraudulent accounting trick. But #NetZero was never just a fraudulent accounting trick.

    #NetZero was a game so lucrative for big players that it made other megascams like rent seem trivial.

  18. Refrigeration and #AirConditioning, together, account for 7% of #GreenhouseGas emissions. So we cannae air condition our way out of #GlobalWarming, as the #UK government is apparently proposing to do.

    We need architecture for passive cooling as well as passive heating; we need to adjust our work and activity patterns in hot weather.

    And most of all we need to cut fossil carbon emissions to #ActualZero#NetZero was always a fraudulent accounting trick.

  26. Ed Miliband and Labour's Net Zero and Green Energy Plans delivering jobs.

    The net zero economy directly employs more than 300,000 full-time workers, while supporting the jobs of 1.1 million. The sector is worth £100bn to the UK already, and is likely to grow by hundreds of billions more. The rest of the green economy directly employs a further 600,000 with Gov plans to create 400k more jobs.

    Oil and gas has direct 275K jobs and 205k in support.

  28. #ClimateDiary #UKPolitics Thinking through the whole #Starmer #Burnham saga unfolding in the middle of a heatwave: it’s terrible how #Climate and #NetZero have already fallen off agenda, in terms of climate funding and discourse.

    Burnham may well go further down this way; he has already said he has an “open mind” to expanding North Sea drilling. But he is also quite close to Milliband. We shall see!

  29. If you were thinking an anti-woke Davos sounds like Hell…well you won’t be disappointed by the choice of venue - #London which will be seeing temperatures resembling the 6th circle of Dante’s Inferno this week.

    Can you imagine the levels of psychopathy needed to derail all attempts to stand a chance of making life in any way habitable for our kids?

  30. Unite election for General Secretary ballots go out on 14th July. I am a community member and voted for Sharon Graham last time. However as she wants to drill for gas and oil in the North Sea, so I will be opposing her this time around. #Climatechange #NetZero #DumpTrump
