Striking modelling in @irena-official.bsky.social latest annual report. The net economic gains from a rapid clean energy transition are huge. We just need to invest in upgrading the ageing and polluting energy system that needs replacing anyway. www.businessgreen.com/news/4537240...

A shadow chancellor with one of the worst conference speeches in modern history, spreadsheet errors that double net zero costs, a host of implausible tax cuts, an ‘Iron Dome’ the party leader can’t explain. The Kemi-naissance is go. +3 points.
That Andrew Griffith speech must have really cut through.
British Conservatives: "Russia has disgracefully interfered in politics in France, Germany, Sweden, Hungary, Moldova, Romania and invaded Ukraine. They even meddled in the US elections." Also British Conservatives: "What? Russia! Interfere in Brexit? Ridiculous! Just a tired old conspiracy theory."
Countries led by Saudi Arabia & Russia are pressing climate scientists to delay publication of a report, so it's not ready for a major evaluation of country commitments on cutting emissions
