UN's climate chief clearly *furious* with Rishi Sunak's u-turns on climate policies.
The optics (and politics) of this are just terrible from all sides - unless you are a Tufton St lobbyist.
This will be how history books remember Sunak. So odd that he can't see that

“No G7 Country has yet ‘over delivered’ on climate. On the contrary there is a lot more action needed, specifically from them. Is turning away from climate action in 2023 really leadership?”

Rishi Sunak - "Northern Ireland is in the unbelievably special position... in the entire world... in having privileged access to the UK home market... but also the European Union single market... nobody else has that... only you guys" in Northern Ireland. 🤦

Best piece so far untangling the various strands leading to such high gas prices. And an excellent conclusion: we need more renewables and less fossil fuel to build a stable, low cost system.

The wholesale price of European nat gas is now equivalent to $150.5 a barrel -- higher than Brent crude ever was during the 2008 price boom (and yes, barrel of oil equivalent pricing has its challenges, but worth using to show magnitude of the crisis) h/t @Ole_S_Hansen

Is there a big wave of new solar farms coming to the UK?
A hefty 2GW of capacity went into the planning system last year vs 1GW in 2019 and 13GW currently installed
(And given solar subsidies are now ancient history these would, by definition, be subsidy-free if they get built)
