Sacrificing his children? A tad melodramatic.

We won’t have sufficient green energy for our needs for a long time. Meanwhile, is it sensible to be reliant on other countries for the fossil fuels we will continue to use? Do you drive a petrol or diesel car MOnica? Do your tradesmen and deliveries arrive in electric vehicles? Do you have good public transport services in your area?

It smacks of those with enough money knowing they can afford whatever to avoid overheating

Yes, I'm also horrified that Sunak is contemplating reversing LTNs etc to win votes, fiddling while Rome burns. I'm hoping it will at least propel younger voters to actually use their vote

I have read today that Rishi Sunak has said he is going to review Low Traffic Neighbourhoods and ban them and do other things to make using a car easier and that he has approvea major extension of oil exploration in the North Sea. All this as Europe burns and heatwaves are reported everywhere.

If global warming gets worse, it is his children along with everyone elses who will suffer, children like his and my grandchildren, just starting into life, on their way towards adult life. Sunak, himself is only 43.

Forget which political party he supports, I just cannot get my head around the idea of a father prepared to sacrifice his children for a petty political gain.
