This is quite extraordinary. I don't think I have heard a more coherent, articulate and accurate deconstruction & demolition of Nigel Farage's ReformUK, Tory & Restore policy than this. In under 85 seconds! @rafaelbehr.bsky.social is on here folks and worth a follow.

"[Fossil Fuel interests] are trying to fool us because, for them, it is a bridge too far to agree to stop destroying the world and consequently make the rich less rich. No—we can’t make the rich less rich! That would be “degrowth,” a fate worse than climate change itself." - @doctorvive.bsky.social

"But as a trade-off it would also raise people’s real incomes, making the vast majority of us better off. In a decarbonized and electrified net-zero economy—quite aside from avoided costs of [extreme weather] and so on—we would be paying much less for electricity, heating, and transportation."

Who faces the loses from ending fossil fuels? The rich: "In the U.S., 82% of the devaluation would hit the wealthiest 10% of households, and that loss... would amount to only 0.4% of the wealthiest households’ net worth." Big Money & the rich are blocking climate action for a rounding error.
