War increases our prices It affects supply and demand
Dr. Aaron Thierry@thierryaaron.bsky.social · 5d ago7/ Fossil dependence is what makes bills volatile. @thecccuk.bsky.social modelled a gas price shock in 2040. Stop decarbonising, bills rise 59%. Stay on the path to net-zero - 4%. Since the Iran war, bills rose about four times more for a house with a gas boiler and a petrol car.
Indeed as our economy will suffer with changing climate. Food prices will rocket Grow your own
Dr. Aaron Thierry@thierryaaron.bsky.social · 5d ago5/ The UK's fiscal watchdog agrees. OBR, July 2025: 3°C of warming costs the UK economy about 8% by the early 2070s. Cutting emissions costs far less than the damage from not doing it.
Our energy bills will be cheaper
Dr. Aaron Thierry@thierryaaron.bsky.social · 5d ago4/ Net zero is the cheaper path for Britain. @thecccuk.bsky.social ran the full numbers in March this year. Net zero pays for itself and then some. Benefits worth around £110bn a year out to 2050, overtaking the costs from 2029. Every pound spent comes back more than double.

Canada and Europe are already burning. People are suffering from the smoke. When will they wake up and take their blinkers off? Europe is buying up all of China's Aircon units to keep them cool. How will they cope when temps are higher and there's more fires 🔥

Stop Rosebank@stopcambo.bsky.social · 3w agoBREAKING 🚨: reports suggest Andy Burnham could approve new oil and gas fields, including Rosebank. Is he REALLY going to cave into the demands of the profiteering oil giants and Trump? Or is he going to stand with people facing soaring bills and a worsening climate crisis?

Yes there are nice things about Norway but the moral and economic madness they are perpetrating in the North Sea renders them all irrelevant and will for the rest of human history.

Climate Activism & the Far Right Why should climate activists be concerned about the rise of the far right? Because anti green rhetoric is putting climate action on the defensive, giving mainstream parties an excuse to abandon policies they never fully backed. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
The far right’s green bashing has given mainstream parties an excuse to do nothing – but we have more agency than we think | Ajit Niranjan
As powerful forces push back against green forces, it is little surprise that many of us feel dismay. Climate scientists do, too. But together we can take action to challenge the prevailing apathy

IMO you don’t need patriotism to motivate civic pride and caretaking. You just need two shared goals that I think most people really can agree on: those of making your place welcoming to guests and leaving the next generation better off than your own.
