I recently spoke to a room of 1200 people on the role of activism.
This speech took me in a direction I didn't expect. It felt nerve-wracking yet important to expose what I consider to be the biggest climate cover-up in history...

Despite over 3,000 pages of new detail, our confidence in the UK meeting its goals from 2030 onwards is now markedly less than it was in our previous assessment a year ago. A key opportunity to push a faster pace of progress has been missed. theccc.org.uk/2023/06/28/bet…
