Greenpeace challenges 'flawed' energy review

Greenpeace has launched a court action claiming the government's recent energy review, which backed a new generation of nuclear power plants, was "legally flawed".

In legal papers lodged at the high court in London today, the environmental campaign group argues that the government did not carry out the full public consultation to which it had committed itself before making its decision.

Greenpeace says that if its judicial review application succeeds, the government will be forced to ditch the conclusions of the energy review and carry out a much fuller consultation on the full range of issues relating to building new nuclear reactors in the UK.

The energy review, according to Greenpeace, failed to resolve key issues such as dealing with radioactive waste, financial costs and the design of the

October 5, 1989 – Donella Meadows “The Costs of the Greenhouse Effect will be Unpayable” She absolutely nailed it, and died too young. She had lots more wisdom to impart. allouryesterdays.info/2026/10/04/o...

–October 5, 1989–

Forward-thinking people are preparing for the greenhouse effect. Barge companies on the Mississippi are acquiring railroads in case the river becomes permanently unnavigable. Planners of Boston’s sewage treatment system are taking into account a sea-level rise from global warming. The Weyerhaeuser company is planting drought-resistant trees. The Dutch are raising their dikes.

Either this behavior is certifiably crazy, or it’s an apt assessment of the craziness of the human race as a whole — a reasoned bet that we will be stupid enough to let the greenhouse effect happen, instead of stopping it.

I’m not that much of a pessimist. I think we’re rational animals, at least when it comes to economics. The economics of the greenhouse effect are quite clear. We can’t afford it.

The amount of carbon dioxide in the air was 353ppm. As of 2026, when this post was published, it is 430ppm. This matters because the more carbon dioxide in the air, the more heat gets trapped. The more heat, the more extreme weather events. You can make it more complicated than that if you want, but really, it’s not. Fwiw, I have a tattoo of the Keeling Curve on my left forearm.

The broader context was that the greenhouse issue had exploded onto the public agenda in late ‘88, and then ‘89 you couldn’t move but for it.

The specific context was that Donella Meadows knew what she was talking about. She’d been co-author on The Limits to Growth.

What I think we can learn from this is that Meadows was right and Meadows was pointing out what the cost would be if we acted and what the cost would be if we didn’t act.

Hot take: I don't think social media made people dumber. We've been dumb this whole time. It's just that you used to have to have a job that people sent their dumb letters to, to notice. This made "Engaging with fools" an occupational hazard rather than the 24/7 experience it is presently.

October 3, 2007 – Turnbull makes a pledge allouryesterdays.info/2026/10/02/o...

Nineteen years ago, on this day, October 3rd, 2007,

A new $4 million commitment to educating local governments on responses to climate change will tackle the global problem at a community level, federal Environment Minister Malcolm Turnbull says.

http://www.smh.com.au/news/environment/turnbulls-4m-climate-pledge/2007/10/03/1191091180504.html

The amount of carbon dioxide in the air was 384ppm. As of 2026, when this post was published, it is 430ppm. This matters because the more carbon dioxide in the air, the more heat gets trapped.

The broader context was that the Liberals had been shit on climate change after the 1990 federal election, which they narrowly lost, but in late 2006 had had to modify that because the public was going through one of its periodic “oh, actually, a habitable planet would be quite a nice thing” phases.

October 2, 1961- UNESCO conference on “climatic variations” begins allouryesterdays.info/2025/10/01/7...

Sixty four years ago, on this day, October 2nd, 1961,

beginning of UNESCO conference – “Rome (October 2-7 1961), arranged by UNESCO and the World Meteorological Organization, to restrict the interest to climatic variations which have occurred since the latest glaciation, with particular attention to the period of the meteorological record. The reason behind this decision was no doubt the wish to talk about something which might conceivably have relevance to the nature and trends of the arid lands of to-day–relevance on the scale of economic planning, say, for a hundred years. (Sutcliffe, Nature No. 4808 December 23, 1139-40.”

And there was discussion of carbon dioxide build-up, as per this published in the Derry Standard.

“These warm years, with their economic implications, have led to a number of theories, notably one that man is changing the weather by burning fossil fuels and releasing millions of tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Unfortunately for the theoreticians, this rising temperature curve levelled off around 1940 and has now dipped.”

Behrman, D. 1961. Science Notes. The Derry Standard, November 21, p7

The amount of carbon dioxide in the air was 317ppm. As of 2025, when this post was published, it is 425ppm. This matters because the more carbon dioxide in the air, the more heat gets trapped. The more heat, the more extreme weather events. You can make it more complicated than that if you want, but really, it’s not. Fwiw, I have a tattoo of the Keeling Curve on my left forearm.

October 1, 1997 – Whitehouse invites meteorologists for a chat allouryesterdays.info/2026/09/30/o...

Twenty nine years ago, on this day, October 1st, 1997,

NBC covered one hundred television weather forecasters on October 1, 1997 who were invited to the White House for a briefing on global warming policy. By this action the Clinton administration appeared to be linking the greenhouse effect to today’s weather. (Sachsman, 2000:6)

The amount of carbon dioxide in the air was 363.4ppm. As of 2026, when this post was published, it is 430ppm. This matters because the more carbon dioxide in the air, the more heat gets trapped. The more heat, the more extreme weather events. You can make it more complicated than that if you want, but really, it’s not. Fwiw, I have a tattoo of the Keeling Curve on my left forearm.

Makes me think of landmines - these "work" without exploding, by denying access to terrain (for hunting, farming etc). So, you can't count landmines' actual full effect merely by explosions, lives and limbs lost. I wish I'd thought about this in this way 40 years ago.
