    Nobody is denying the science. Tone down your rhetoric, buddy. I’m not in government. Climate change is real and will impact us all. Rich people will be able to pivot more easily. But you need to think about how other people less fortunate will be able to cope. What’s the point of a greener future if you’ve bankrupted people in the process? The only people that benefits from that are rich people. Congratulations 🎉. It’s better to take people with you as much as you can and if that means pushing back plans to align with the EU then that’s pragmatic. Like I’ve said before I would love to see some concrete details of how the government are going to help in the five extra years they are allowing.

    What climate apocalypse are you predicting in five years from 2030 to 2035? And be scientific about it.

      “A greener future”? Are you sure you’re not in government? The kinds of platitude you’re spouting would suggest you are. Or why are you parroting their rhetoric for free?
      “A greener future” is an utter nonsense. We either have an habitable planet or we do not. If we continue pushing back our already-too-weak pledges then we shall have the latter.
      If you cannot or will not understand the impact that five years of retarded progress will have down the line, then I probably won’t be able to explain much science to you.
