Chances of limiting global heating to 1.5C🌡️are already slim, & Donald Trump’s antipathy to climate action would have a major impact on the US 🇺🇸, the world’s 2nd biggest emitter of greenhouse gases & biggest #oil & #gas exporter, says Patricia Espinosa https://buff.ly/3vyqwtb
Did a gas/electric fixed tarrif with #OctopusEnergy in February but I read an article today from #MoneySavingExpert which says check your tarrif as the price cap may not go as low as predicted.

The #gas industry has thrown shade on recent findings of indoor #pollution for gas #stoves. But
"Now, newly discovered documents reveal that the American Gas Association was studying the health and indoor pollution risks from gas stoves as far back as the early 1970s — that #TheyKnew much more, at a far earlier date, than has been previously documented."
