Hugely important from @kevinclimate.bsky.social - when Govt’s own advisers aren’t speaking truth to power, it’s incredibly dangerous for all of us 👇

New piece on Carbon Colonialism, net-zero nonsense, and how the UK Government's climate advisors (and many experts) shy away from speaking truth to power. We need a fundamental reboot of climate policy; - physics doesn't care about political sensibilities. theconversation.com/the-uks-year...

The UK’s year of climate U-turns exposes a deeper failure

Breaking free of the dangerous pretence that current efforts suffice demands a fundamental rethink of the UK’s climate policy consensus.
