We’ve already been one of the fastest countries in the world at decarbonisation.
The UK is not the problem when it comes to climate change.
But we could (and, given our history, should) be leaders. Even from a selfish perspective, there will be a huge demand for green technologies in the future, and we should be positioning ourselves to provide them.
It’s unsettling how the conservative party is transitioning to being a climate change denialist party.
Sure, they were never the greenest party, but they did a bit. Now they want to undo everything. They’re seemingly chasing Reform or the US Republicans.
Climate denialism 10 years ago in the UK was way lower than it is now. We’re going backwards.
This issue will get worse, not better.
Funding.
The biggest funding providers, have managed to keep the cost of climate change, within the individuals’ realm. Making customers choose to pay extra for greener or green washed options.
It has now got to the point where real change means forcing these companies etc to make real investments in new systems and tech.
So they are trying last minute to push the same false science and political pressure they have always used.
