Fake sustainability vs true sustainability

Whatever you build with reinforced concrete, you'll have to renovate it or replace it in 50 to (very optimistically) 100 years.

Natural materials + using compressive strength > industrial materials under tension

It doesn’t always seem that way, but putting your political career on the line and risking everything to help avert a global warming catastrophe is an honour worth more than all the seats in Parliament and all the knighthoods in the land.

This 73% figure is wrong. This relates to operation emissions associated with the gas only. As fact checked by channel 4 previously. channel4.com/news/factcheck…

Starmer accuses the Tories of “trying to weaponise” Labour’s £28billion green plan.

“This is a fight I want to have. If they want to have that fight, bring it on.”

Interesting that he is now willing to lean in to it, rather than appearing to water it down.

What a load of bollox. Hydrogen is hopeless as a vehicle fuel, it is itself a greenhouse gas and making it from fossil fuels is not zero-carbon. And it's downside is NOT just production cost: it's the cost to transport and use. So geological hydrogen doesn't make any difference!

There is no ‘war on the motorist’.

Both the Government and the Opposition are falling over themselves to increase emissions from our most polluting sector and provide even more taxpayer subsidy for five minute drives to the shops.

Deeply unserious people.

I’ve been a member of the Labour Party for 17 years, worked for the Party at City Hall for almost a decade, and was a Labour Councillor for 7 years known for delivering some of the most radical environmental programmes in the U.K.

Please stop embarrassing yourself.

Gobsmacked that during an air pollution crisis in London, and with the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan rightly cracking down on wood burners, there are no fewer than *four* adverts for firewood at Walthamstow Central tube station. How has TfL allowed this to happen?!

He’s already ‘scaled them back’ once.

He’ll ‘scale them back’ again.

Nobody is talking about not investing in a Green New Deal on the doorsteps.

Keir takes his steer from from the newspaper barons and Tufton St misinformation campaigns.

He’s an empty vessel.

I delivered the largest number of LTNs in the U.K alongside numerous new bus gates and 24hr bus lanes.

Similar approaches have been taken in all municipalities that have delivered LTNs.

Slow buses is entirely linked to too many cars, not LTNs.

You're welcome, John.
