Just like Exxon knew about the impacts of climate change, the beef industry knew too. A new PLOS Climate study documents how the National Cattlemen’s Association (NCA), now NCBA, responded to evidence linking cattle methane to global warming from 1986–1996 (study 🔗 at end of 🧵)

It's worth adding that since 2020, the CCC published revised estimates of the cost of net-zero, which it now says would amount to £108bn over 25 years, or 0.2% of GDP This is mainly due to falling costs for EVs – more here: www.carbonbrief.org/...

FACTCHECK: UK Conservatives double the ‘cost of net-zero’ after spreadsheet blunder The Tory "Right Way" booklet makes an erroneous claim about the cost of cutting emissions, possibly taken from a Jan26 thinktank report, and deffo the most idiotic error I've seen for a while 🧵

How the new Great British Grid could help households benefit from abundant and cheap renewable power
As Britain builds more renewable energy, it will need to get better at encouraging people to use electricity when it’s plentiful.

Plant-rich diets are the food system's electrification. Petrol cars only see 18-25% of their fuel energy get to the wheels; EVs 87-91%. Heat pumps are 2 or 3 times more efficient. Food has its own combustion engine: a chicken turns about 13% of its feed calories into food, worse than a petrol car.
