Killer fact: In recent years government subsidies for the production and consumption of fossil fuels amounted to £12 billion a year, that’s equivalent to £230 million every week. This starts by switching government subsidies from dirty fossil fuels towards clean energy, transport and insulation.

We need to cut energy demand by insulating Britain and rethinking how we travel including providing free public transport everywhere. The transition will require massive investment in clean technology, renewables and energy storage but it cannot be done at current levels of energy consumption. In eight years we need to end our reliance on fossil fuels completely. There has been no rapid and sweeping social change, no widespread adoption of low carbon technology, no war-style mobilisation. They are wasting billions supporting unicorn technologies such as carbon capture and storage projects which provide a fig leaf for business as usual to continue. We will face the starvation and the slaughter of billions of the poor – and the utter betrayal of our children and their future.ĭoes our government get this? They are actively enabling the fossil fuel industry through obscene subsidies and tax breaks for new fossil fuel extraction. If we continue down our current path it will destroy families and communities. Allowing the extraction of new oil and gas resources in the UK is an obscene and genocidal policy that will kill our children and condemn humanity to oblivion.
