Humanity is held hostage by fossil fuels. They are destroying our environment and sparking warfare that hurts everyone. It is time to treat this energy and climate double crisis seriously. We need a Marshall Plan-scale response from our governments to transform our energy system to renewable.

Why do politicians of democratic parties no longer react to #climatedata by #climatescientists in any rational way? Why do they not take any fast measures to cut down human climate-hazardous emissions to mitigate the #climatecrisis, in a socially fair way? Why do they not cooperate to combat #disinformation on the #climatecrisis, even in Parliaments, by far-right politicians?

Another opinion piece about the unfairness of the fuel excise as EV drivers don’t pay it. It would be fine if the issue was about fairness however it is really about rapidly decarbonising cars. We are faced with a rolling train wreck with our fossil fuel caused climate crisis. We need to electrify everything and now is not the time to talk about taxes the penalise people making the change. Certainly a change is needed to ensure the budget can be balanced but not at the expense of slowing the transition for perceived “fairness”. The system is inherently unfair as it is designed to boost EV sales and drive the transition.
