By supporting the expansion of Heathrow Airport and spreading outright lies about decarbonising flying, Labour has again capitulated to lobbyists.
This is its defining characteristic: doing whatever powerful lobbyists ask, regardless of the social, environmental and even political costs.

Honestly if companies spent a quarter of what they pay PR companies to pretend they're decarbonising into *actually decarbonising* they'd be doing very well

Net zero ‘will cost households £1,400 a year by 2030’
Cost of decarbonising the energy network and upgrading the grid is ‘unsustainable’, according to the Prosperity Institute think tank

Yup, decarbonising heat incl industrial heat is much thornier problem than decarbonising cooling.
Why do you talk this way about A/C but not heating? Heating generates far more CO2 than cooling. Would you say it’s wasteful to heat a house when outside temperature is 5 C?

Well it certainly doesnt help if you start your focus on things that bring people joy instead of decarbonising the energy grid, yes.
I think what holds many back is the thought that to really avoid climate damage, we have to stop flying, stop shopping for fashion, reuse, recycle and share more. Walk instead of driving. Live a more village scale life. People don’t want to give up AI, foreign holidays, cars, streaming services

This is a really important story. If Europe makes Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) with products of beef farming linked with tropical deforestation, then we're only decarbonising on paper and getting nowhere.

You could ask about the feasibility of frequent flier levies, the scalability of sustainable aviation fuels, the cost of decarbonising aviation compared to the cost of climate impacts. Or you could do this facile gotcha question bullshit.

Plus, one of the very best tools available to the average person towards weakening the far-right's political power is to decarbonize their lives by switching to EVs & solar with batteries to power their lives rather than buying fossil fuels from the oligarchs.
