Could all please just read the Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights Michael O’Flaherty original letters? In my view clear potential violations of the UK’s international obligations are explained. My advice: listen to him rather than rightwing populists.

Nature-based solutions can help communities adapt to climate change, but without careful planning, #NbS can unintentionally worsen tensions and conflicts.

Was die lauter werdenden Gegner eines CO2-Preises unterschlagen: Er ist mehr als jede andere Lenkungssteuer darauf angelegt, dass niemand sie zahlt. Technik soll substituiert werden, damit wir 2050 klimaneutral sein kΓΆnnen. Wer das ablehnt, plΓ€diert fΓΌr wirkungslosen Klimaschutz.
