It's not that our politicians don't know what's needed to slow #ClimateChange. It's that they don't care.
Their two priorities are
1. winning the next election, under the UK's absurdly dysfunctional, archaic and undemocratic system;
2. pleasing the big donors, who include the #FossilFuel industry, the car industry, and the armaments industry.
They do not care what happens ten years ahead: five is as far as they can see.
