The Guardian view on a climate reckoning: an annual address could set a new standard for political accountability | Editorial (The Guardian)
|
|
The energy secretary framed environmental action as practical and patriotic, not in terms of wordy ideological pieties. But holding the line won't be easyEd Miliband is a target for the political right; not because he's irrelevant, but because he's effective. The bacon sandwich gags and “Red Ed” jokes mask a deeper unease: that Mr Miliband, with his dogged insistence on science, public investment and long-term thinking, is right. Now, as energy secretary, he has delivered what he calls an exercise in “radical truth-telling” and a stark warning to MPs that rejecting climate action is a betrayal of future generations. The language, for once, isn't overblown. It's belated.By highlighting the Met Office's annual State of the UK Climate report, Mr Miliband shows that the hotter, wetter and more arduous future we feared has already arrived. Extremes are becoming the norm: the number of very hot days has quadrupled; in the last 250 years, six of the 10 wettest winter half-years have occurred i...

UK's energy system operator forecasts emissions a third over target by 2035 in second official warning in a monthBritain is expected to fall short of the progress needed to meet its climate targets over the next decade because it is not growing its supply of clean electricity fast enough, according to the government's energy system operator.The latest 10-year forecast of Britain's carbon emissions by the government-owned body has revealed that by 2035 the UK will be producing almost a third more carbon emissions than in scenarios where it is on track to meet its legally binding climate targets by 2050.

Dissonance In The Green Valhalla: German Workers Break The Climate Silence
Submitted by Thomas Kolbe
For the first time in years, a group of German industrial labor representatives has broken ranks. In an open letter to Chancellor Friedrich Merz, they fiercely criticize Berlin's climate policy. Will their defiance ignite a firestorm—or vanish in the memory hole crafted by media gatekeepers?
I must admit: after years of bitter disappointment in the fight for rational energy discourse, I view initiatives like this with cautious pessimism. In Germany, climate policy has become the domain of a paternalistic triad—politics, media, and public compliance. The first casualty? Open debate. The air is thick with passive-aggressive apocalypse. Criticizing the Green Deal is a near-taboo. No historical precedent comes to mind where a nation, fully conscious, impales itself economically in slow motion.
Calm Before the Storm?
In the U.S., the climate machinery may be in retreat under Trump's return. Bu...
