Editorial: there are no “loopholes” in the laws of physics

With February being the ninth consecutive month that set an all time high temperature record, reports that Ministers are seeking to exploit a “loophole” in the Climate Change Act to “carry over” reductions in carbon emissions resulting from covid lockdowns to relax targets for the next carbon budget, exposes their detachment from reality.

Getting ourselves on the right side of history

With 2023 the hottest year on record, we know that however severe the consequences of the climate crisis are this year, it will be worse next year. As Prof Andrew Dessler of Texas A&M University put it, “every year for the rest of your life will be one of the hottest on record…2023 will end up being one of the coldest years this century. Enjoy it while it lasts.”

 COP that!

This year’s COP has already thrown up a number of bizarre statements, from Rishi Sunak showing what a small figure he is by admitting that “we’re not moving quickly or effectively enough” and “the costs of inaction are intolerable”, while claiming that “the UK is leading the charge” by the uniquely effective strategy of scrapping its most ambitious targets and going slower.

A King’s speech for fossils

The latest scientific assessment on the pace of climate breakdown should make everyone stop, take a deep breath and ring alarm bells loudly.

Keeping below 1.5C now requires us to get to net zero by 2034. That makes the present government’s slow down criminally irresponsible.

Short term decisions for a catastrophic future

Doublethink in Downing Street

With the impact and urgency of the climate crisis increasingly evident, we are nevertheless seeing a conscious backsliding of climate commitments on the part of the UK government.

We are no longer standing on one of Boris Johnson’s delusionary pyramids of patriotic piffle about the UK “leading the world”, but are told that we will “achieve net zero” in a “pragmatic” and “proportionate” way. In other words, at a pace that is comfortable for fossil fuel companies like Shell; working, as it is, on a timescale for Net Zero that’s between fifty and a hundred years too late.

An honest answer might be, “nothing that affects the profitability of the oil companies darling”..

The hottest June ever, daily temperature records broken three times in the first week of July, the Southern US under a heat dome, Beijing breaking 40C three days in a row, Montevideo down to two weeks worth of drinkable water and an extraordinarily mild Antarctic Winter 10 – 20C above average temperatures from 1979-2000, should be injecting an increased urgency into climate action. 350.org and others are calling for mass actions this November and we should make sure there is a huge trade union component to those.

Justly Stop Oil!

The decision by Labour to stop all new oil and gas exploration in the North Sea is the right one. It will also be popular. The IPCC has stated again and again that new oil and gas exploration is incompatible with sustaining a climate we can survive in. There is no wriggle room on this and the consequence of a failure to take decisive action now is already coming back to bite us very hard.

While imaginative non-violent direct action gets headlines, mass mobilisations build movements. XR’s Big One demonstration, over the weekend of 21 – 24 April, was a huge rolling mix of lobbies, pickets, rallies, discussions, education events (and drumming) bringing together diverse strands of the climate movement in an empowering, fluid and harmonious way right across Westminster and redefining the space in a creative way that must have had the leader writers at the Daily Mail grinding their teeth at how peaceful and positive it all was.

This Spring we move into an El Nino upswing, with ferocious heat spikes demonstrating the warning that, unless we act faster and more profoundly, the 1.5C limit will slip beyond our grasp.This should be a klaxon going off in all our heads demanding action.

Rishi Sunak is wrong.

So, climate change is now permanentlya major concern, while, despite strenuous attempts by government and media toplay dog whistles on trombones, immigration is right down at number 8.

With the UN confirming that they see ‘no credible pathway’ to keep below a 1.5C average rise in global temperature, we are now in a period of desperate damage limitation. It’s not 1.5C or let it rip because no other limit is worth the bother. The higher above 1.5C we allow it to get, the worse it will be.

Four answers to the energy and climate crises

The rapidly increasing costs of fossil fuels in the context of “post pandemic” increases in demand, overlaid by the impact of the war in Ukraine and sanctions attendant on it that will get worse the longer it goes on, will drive mass discontent that will really hit home; particularly after the next rise in the price cap in October. The gaping climate holes in the government’s strategy are onshore wind and retrofitting. This makes agitational campaigns on both imperative.

The Price of Gas

The government’s decision to fast track licences for 6 new oil and gas fields in the North Sea is a determined step in exactly the wrong direction.

It will do nothing to reduce energy bills. Development can take from 5-10 years before any gas or oil is actually produced, so there will be no short term impact on supply and therefore on price.

The new pledges currently being made would take us to a 2.4C average temperature increase by century’s end; down from the 2.6C previously projected.

Editorial: When will this government see the green light?

Both the TUC and the CBI are urging the government to invest now to create over a million new green jobs in response to rising unemployment and the COVID-19 crisis. As the Tories’ ‘furlough scheme’ comes to an end, the TUC is calling for a new Job Protection and Upskilling Plan. New support for businesses must come with strings attached, unions say, to promote decent work, protect jobs and give union rights. Meanwhile, the CBI, the employers’ organisation, says we face ‘two seemingly separate yet fundamental problems: Covid-19 – the biggest health crisis in living memory – and climate change, the defining challenge of the modern era.’

Please spare us another ‘world beating’ claim

On 21 July, Prime Minister Johnson announced a £350m ‘green funding package’ to support efforts to drive down carbon emissions from heavy industry, construction, space and transport. He said it would ‘fuel a green, sustainable recovery from the Covid-19 crisis. He added, ‘We’ve made great strides towards our net zero target over the last year.’

Meanwhile, out in the real world, the Committee on Climate Change says meagre progress has been made over the last year to build the foundations for the transition to a net zero emissions economy. As we report below, exhausted from trying to get the Prime Minister to act, the government’s independent advisers have now resorted to direct appeals to Ministers.

‘We can emerge from this crisis a stronger, fairer, greener country’, says the #BuildBackBetter campaign. Ministers are preparing to unveil an economic stimulus package in early July, in an attempt to stave off what is expected to be the biggest recession in living memory following the coronavirus crisis. But the TUC says government must learn the lessons of the coronavirus crisis. It wants A Better Recovery programme, combining ‘making work fairer’ with a massive new investment in public services and low carbon projects.

As Jo Grady, University and College Union told the conference, ‘The Youth Climate Strikes movement is one of the most impressive forms of mass action in recent years.’  The education union’s general secretary asked, ‘How will young people forgive us if we let them down, whilst they are building a movement at this pivotal moment for the world’s climate?’

Another world is possible

Words are powerful and can shape our understanding. Dull words like ‘environment’ don’t sparkle. Scientist George Monbiot argues that , “If we called protected areas ‘places of natural wonder’, we would not only speak to people’s love of nature but also establish an aspiration that conveys what they ought to be. Let’s stop using the word environment, and use terms such as ‘living planet’ and ‘natural world’ instead, as they allow us to form a picture of what we are describing. Let’s abandon the term climate change and start saying ‘climate breakdown’. Instead of extinction, let’s adopt the word promoted by the lawyer Polly Higgins: ecocide.”
