My last coming soon didn’t come soon. It happens like that sometimes. The coming soon posts are about posts that are on the way, under development so I’m much more likely to do this one.
I’m thinking about why governments are so unwilling to address the climate crisis and what can be done about it. Why do governments refuse to address climate despite it being so obvious and immediately urgent? Please let me know if you have thoughts on this.
Congratulations to Rishi Sunak on becoming UK's prime minister today. His short-lived predecessor Liz Truss was not only in denial of the climate crisis but was actually actively hostile to renewable energy. Even though she only served 45 days, she imposed a windfall tax on renewables and nuclear energy only and promoted exploitation of oil and gas in the North Sea by issuing new exploration licences. [I am not supportive of nuclear energy.] The climate is in crisis. It's deteriorating and we're regularly breaking temperature records in UK despite so-far having it very easy compared to the rest of the World. It can't be simply denied as the Tories have been doing. Denial of the climate crisis is insane. It's going to get worse and extreme protests like closing the M25 are going to increase, the idea being that the protestors are stopping normal conduct of life that is killing the planet. Hopefully Rishi will tax the rich to pay for public services. He should know - through being filthy rich - that they're not even going to notice it.
I need to redo and improve Climate crisis reality check.
