'We have to listen to the scientists' Boris Johnson says climate change poses 'a threat to our way of life that is ultimately far worse than COVID' and that 'we need urgent government action, but we must mobilise the markets' Read more:

Prime Minister Boris Johnson said:"As we clean up the way we heat our homes over the next decade, we are backing our brilliant innovators to make clean technology like heat pumps as cheap to buy and run as gas boilers - supporting thousands of green jobs.

Greg Jackson, chief executive and founder of Octopus Energy, said that when the grant scheme launches, his company will install heat pumps at about the same cost as gas boilers. Especially when that something else costs 10 times more to buy, and would currently cost significantly more to run? Again, by nothing nearly enough to meet a net-zero target, but most experts say they couldn’t have expected much more given the current pressures on public spending.

Labour's shadow business secretary, Ed Miliband, said:"As millions of families face an energy and cost of living crisis, this is a meagre, unambitious and wholly inadequate response. Pressed on criticism from the Green Party that £450m Boiler Upgrade Scheme will only provide 90,000 heat pumps when there are 29 million households in the UK, Ms Trevelyan added:"So, as I said, for a lot of the local authority homes there is already a huge scheme - billions of pounds - being used to help them to decarbonise, to insulate and indeed to change their heating systems.

Government funded science.

Lies lies lies.

Further embracing capitalism will not solve the ClimateEmergency because capitalism is the main cause. A massive social and political transformation is needed to do that.
