@drsimevans.carbonbrief.orgReposted by @campaigncc.bsky.socialIt's worth adding that since 2020, the CCC published revised estimates of the cost of net-zero, which it now says would amount to Ā£108bn over 25 years, or 0.2% of GDP
This is mainly due to falling costs for EVsĀ ā more here:
@drsimevans.carbonbrief.orgReposted by @campaigncc.bsky.socialIt seems the original sin here was by David Turver, a retired engineer and self-described "accidental energy analyst", who made the Ā£957bn claim in a 12 Jan article for the Spectator, previewing his 13 Jan report for rightwing thinktank the Institute of Economic Affairs

@campaigncc.bsky.socialEl NiƱo hits Chile with mudslide and floods in the capital and surrounding region.
@campaigncc.bsky.socialTory maths fail when attacking net zero accidentally turns Ā£458bn into Ā£957bn. Oops. But there is a more deliberate dishonesty here, where all the costs of NOT taking climate action are ignored: higher household bills, health costs and spiralling climate breakdown.

"The most important no-regret measure is also the only one scientists say can reduce the risk of the AMOC collapsing in the first place: cutting planet-warming emissions."

@campaigncc.bsky.socialReposted by @campaigncc.bsky.socialThis summer started with an unprecedented heatwave in late May.
It's almost October now, and last night temperatures over most of the UK were between 7C and 11C hotter than normal for the time of year.

@fairsqprojects.bsky.socialReposted by @campaigncc.bsky.socialReform UK's funding has made headlines this year. But its ties to the UAE have largely flown under the radar.

@campaigncc.bsky.socialAnd of course, these 450,000 deaths are *only* those caused by extreme heat, not from flooding, Pacific storms, wildfires... or crop failure. There are some very alarming predictions about El NiƱo's impact on global hunger and food prices when combined with fertiliser shortages.
@campaigncc.bsky.socialThis extreme El NiƱo will bring drought, wildfires & crop losses in some regions and more intense rains & flooding in others. El NiƱo is predicted to push about 50 million people into acute hunger and increase food prices. Simultaneously, global food production is being hit by high fertiliser costs
