It's taken some work to dissect the genuine and nonsensical arguments for and against approving Jackdaw

As Greg Jackson chief executive of Octopus Energy, said: “The boiler upgrade scheme is doing exactly what it was meant to do. It’s kicking off an industry... heat pumps can now cost the same to install as a gas boiler after the grant.”

🚨 Scientists are facing pressure to postpone a major UN climate report, with petro-states & major developing countries pushing for delay.
Vulnerable nations warn that delay could spell disaster.

England suffers worst harvest on record.
Any government knows national security in food and water is its top priority.
So little money has been allocated to farmers there's not enough to dig ponds and lakes now, to catch winter rain for summer crops.

Onshore fracking will not reduce our energy bills. That is why I led a debate against any form of fracking this week in Parliament. The oil and gas industry are exploiting a fracking loophole. It's about time the government made good on its promise and banned ALL fracking.

New York City air "a lot cleaner and children are smarter for it." @nytimes
Why not British kids too?
Health & Climate - cleaner air matters.
@LibDems ask 🫵 to end petrol and diesel on our streets. Why let climate deniers slow us down?

🌳 #Rewilding isn’t just good for nature; it could help protect us from wildfires.
Restoring peatlands, wetlands and rivers, and bringing back natural grazing, can keep landscapes wetter and more resilient as our climate gets hotter and drier. positive.news/society/how-re…
