Writing a piece on a new climate report coming out later today that is, frankly, blood freezing in the veins terrifying.

The rate at which future returns are discounted leads to long term investments being shelved when they should be promoted. A tidal electricity barrage with an entirely predictable generation profile for 100 years must be worth more than a road project.

He really is no scientist - he is speaking rubbish and frankly should not be interviewed again on this until he has had some basic education - that does not rely on Latin or Greek

Once again a movement will crystallize around these statements, pretending that they have an easy solution to the UK's problems. And a responsible, smart politician would not allow that to happen.

Wouldn’t be Easter without that.

Some of this litter on the M65 motorway had been there for years. You don’t see this on motorways in other European countries - why are ⁦National Highways⁩ allowed to get away with this? ⁦BBC North West⁩

THREAD 🧵: Donald Trump isn't just bleeding the RNC dry of funds, he's bleeding the party of voters. Those who know how he works best, his own former employees, are refusing to give him their vote.

The reactions to this tweet by climate deniers worries and amazes me.

It's happened many times over the decades...

Every time the statutory environmental agencies dare to do their job right, the Govt of the day threatens to take away their powers, cut their budgets, and put them back in their box

That's ultimately why we end up with poo in our

Hugely concerning to see the collapse in Civil Service Fast Stream applications.

From 64,697 in 2020 to just 26,899 today - a shockingly large decline.

I joined in 2006 and it was a transformative scheme for me. Very sad to see it now appealing to far fewer.

The fact is Depts fight Treasury for funding for their services. They are then very reluctant to give devolved bodies the option of spending their money on something else. This is the same story underlying the demise of unitary grants to local authorities.
