Missed opportunities:

The UK has ~30 million dwellings.

I read a while back that the average cost of fully retrofitting a UK home with insulation, heat pump and solar is of the order of £20k.

If that’s right the cost of retrofitting every UK home is in the region of £600 bn.

Funnily enough, that’s roughly the investment gap since 2008 relative to the level that Nicholas Stern said should be invested in decarbonisation.

And instead Labour are investing £0.9 bn per year in CCS

AMOC shutting down could have a catastrophic impact on Northern Europe including more extreme weather events, but also on sealevels along north American coast, and global impacts with changes in precipitation.
