What if, instead of making fuel and other commodities and services more expensive, we used a financial incentive to make technologies that help reduce emissions more affordable?
Could this be a quicker way to get widespread adoption of green tech? theconversation.com/why-we-n…

A new project launched in lockdown by a group of food activists and farmers is helping to bring fresh produce directly from farms to people’s plates.

The installation of new gas boilers must be banned from 2025 or the UK’s net-zero climate target will be “doomed”.
This is a great example of win-win, we can help solve climate change and create 150,000 new jobs, why would we not do this?

Air pollution is linked to around 30,000 premature deaths in the UK annually.
During the lockdown 1 in 6 people with lung conditions have seen their symptoms improve, thanks to a 40% decrease in NO2 levels.
Time to permanently retire polluting vehicles!

There is so much evidence of climate change, from air and sea temperatures to disappearing sea ice to changing migration patterns of birds. NASA the folks who put a person on the moon also study our changing planet and show evidence of melting sea ice
