Mike Borgelt highlighted “This could lead to better monitoring of climate change”

Yeah, I had a similar thought. Have to reconize the State Religion, or the Cardinals of Gaia won’t recognize you.

In regards to the ‘monitoring of climate’, IMO the U.K. is in a headlong rush to embrace state capitalism. So like Germany they have to tie many government initiatives to ‘addressing climate change’.
I fear that this state capitalism will to some extent crowd out private space.

I know that you may think ‘They can’t be serious’. But they are serious about allocating vast sums of capital to tie corporations to the state. As one minor example of stretching claims, the UK. imports wood chips and pellets from the US to burn just so they can claim this ‘biofuel’ is replacing a coal plant. If you want a site that skeptically reviews the latest in the climate change field (science, government, and corporate), you can google WUWT (stands for Watts Up with That?)

Making a law that works in the real world is surprisingly hard. Copy and paste is a common approach to making state laws in the US. Do it wrong and you can accidentally do something crazy.
