My latest piece is currently "Most viewed" on the Guardian.
"The movie #DontLookUp is satire. But speaking as a climate scientist, it’s also the most accurate film about society’s terrifying non-response to climate breakdown I’ve seen."

Setting the UK's Sixth Carbon Budget (2033-37) in law is a huge moment. A 78% reduction in territorial emissions between 1990 and 2035.
Until 2019 the UK's 2050 target was an 80% reduction. It has effectively been brought forward by 15 years.
That's the implication of #NetZero.

A final thought on Jenrick's announcement today. The route of the government's problem is a failure to distinguish the varying levels of risk in buildings and until that nettle is grasped this problem will never go away.
