@EnergiesprongUK @GregHands @CSkidmoreUK @NetZeroAPPG @MartinCallanan @beisgovuk @KwasiKwarteng @charlotte2153 @CBI_CC There's a second catch. Where we actually manage to retrofit we use a majority of carbon intensive materials with high levels of embodied energy. This is especially the case with insulation where we rob Peter to pay Paul. Need a big shift to nature based materials. @asbp_uk

There is cross-party political support across Scotland, England & Wales for planting more forests including more commercial forestry which makes the government's failure to do so all the more abject.

Much indeed to debate & argue about in this book = good. Maybe the maximum point of agreement will be around @GeorgeMonbiot's assertion that "land use should be seen as perhaps the most important of all environmental issues". Discuss!

‘This changes everything’ rightly said @NaomiAKlein’s 2014 climate book. Hence there should be no surprise that agriculture needs to change (as does construction, transport etc) Whether @GeorgeMonbiot's prescription in his new book Regenesis is the right one is to miss the point.
