Climate action in 3 steps: 1. Reduce everything we can, as much as we can, first. 2. Offset the rest (which is impossible to do if we don't reduce everything we can first). 3. Build resilience to the impacts we can no longer avoid. Why? Because the only other choice is suffering.

The UK's transition off coal power is almost complete. The UK's transition off gas power is now beginning.. Gas collapsed this year, and coal is near-zero, so as more wind is built this year and next year... Gas will only fall fall fall RIP UK's gas bridge, 2016-2019.
