Want to know about our Clean Power 2030 Action Plan?

Watch me and @StarkClimate try (and fail) to play⏱️Just A Minute.

This is the biggest set of reforms to the energy system in generations.

A new era of clean electricity.

[Chris Stark @StarkClimate]

Today is an important day, with the publication of advice from @neso_energy on the requirements of clean power by 2030.

It’s brilliant analysis.

The headline is that it’s achievable, while maintaining security of supply, but only if we get a move on.

1/ Today we have received independent advice from @neso_energy on our clean power mission.

Their report provides conclusive proof that clean power by 2030 is not only achievable, but desirable, and can lead to cheaper electricity and a more secure energy system for Britain.

@tferriss @getriver_io Really enjoy your podcast!

@ChrisGiles_ I wonder why someone like Liz truss who wrecked the economy is being given front page attention and a platform like the ft to air her views? I really love this newspaper but this was disappointing

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

This year’s economic sciences laureate Claudia Goldin showed that female participation in the labour market did not have an upward trend over a 200 year period, but instead forms a U-shaped curve.

The participation of married women decreased with the transition from an agrarian to an industrial society in the early nineteenth century, but then started to increase with the growth of the service sector in the early twentieth century. Goldin explained this pattern as the result of structural change and evolving social norms regarding women’s responsibilities for home and family.

Net-zero targets are all well and good.

But how countries get there matters a lot. It's the area under the curve that matters for warming.

Delay emissions cuts and you not only make net-zero less likely, you also make climate change worse along the way.

[Oli Franklin-Wallis @olifranklin]

It might not be the biggest news line but as the rubbish guy, I feel like I have to do a thread on Sunak’s ‘seven bins’ line, because it perfectly encapsulates how dishonest, short-sighted and damaging this policy change is. 🧵

[Grantham LSE @GRI_LSE]

Any weakening of UK climate policies by Rishi Sunak could have a disproportionately negative long-term impact on the economy and would leave households highly exposed to volatile fossil fuel prices says @ret_ward

Absolutely fascinating (as ever) from @jburnmurdoch - international comparisons of sentiment on key climate policies.

@TalkTalk I have been trying to cancel my broadband account, it has been extremely difficult. I speak to your customer service, get connected to the retentions department and the call drops. Also, I do not get a call back. This is a horrible way to charge people for longer!

Reparations for global climate justice?

In this new paper we quantify the compensation that over-emitting countries may owe to the rest of the world for the appropriation of atmospheric commons. Out today in Nature Sustainability, with the brilliant @AndrewLFanning. 🧵

[Doug Parr @doug_parr]

Such a good graphic from @FT on the difference between a climate warming of 1.5C and 2C

On many of the metrics like crop yields, species loss, heatwaves, the impacts don't just go up a little, they double
