Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.

And the only rationale is this..?
in the hope of opening up a clear divide over the green agenda with Labour
He's setting up him and his friends for jobs in banking and oil once he loses to a disastrous (for tories) labour majority in early 2025
We voted for Brexit. Don't underestimate our ability to vote in these cunts again.
Oh sure, but also I'm just going on what seems to actually be happening. He's losing should-never-lose battles. I'm more worried that farages new fasicist and popularist party will get too much power rather than the tories. Tories are kind of just dead in the water now
He's trying to make sure his party will lose by an even greater margin?
Makes me fucking livid. They don't pretend it's for anyone’s good any more: they just nakedly wreck shit for political gain. Pepperidge Farm remembers when these shitters used to try and justify their awfulness.
It is basically guaranteed that he has lost the next election so he is just frantically throwing everything at the wall to see if anything sticks
What a cunt
I'm nothing like a royalist or anything, but Charles isn't gonna like that given his involvement in environmental causes.
I imagine there's going to be quite a lot inward wincing and teeth grinding.
I'm pretty sure Charles is the "we need to sterilise the poor so they can't breed because the world is over populated" kind of environmentalist that also supports fox hunting. At least that's the only kind environmentalist British aristocrats tend to be.

The Prime Minister holds rather a lot more power
Like what, setting the tea prices?
The Prime Minister is something like speaker of the house plus the non-ceremonial parts of being President rolled up in one.
Yeah, but it's a tiny island nation. Barely the size of a u.s. state. They lost any power they had when they left the eu.
It's larger than most US states in terms of area, and bigger than California in terms of population, with a similarly-sized economy. That's big enough to still matter.
It's fairly clear at this point that conservatism and conservatives are an existential threat.
It's unfortunate that right-wing parties will likely get more and more popular the worse things get as people tend to flock to populists in times of crisis, and I don't know about other countries but here in Finland the under-25's are actually more conservative than eg. millennials or gen X – in this year's parliamentary elections ~30% of them voted for either an extremist right wing party that has a nontrivial amount of literal neo-Nazis in it, or the "fiscally conservative" party which isn't much better (and has a bit of a revolving door with the extremists).
At this point I consider any of these "policies" to be a form of suicide.
