Trevor Philips, "Prime Minister Keir Starmer is coming back from #COP30 having refused to put money into the tropical forest fund on the grounds that we can't afford it. He's right, isn't he?" Zack Polanski, "No, it's outrageous" "The PM often talks about there being no money left but there's always money for nuclear weapons" "Since the pandemic began billionaire wealth has doubled, but our power and wealth has been stripped away" "When it comes to climate, we have to look at the cost of inaction" "We have a PM spending billions on carbon capture, an unproven technology, but can't do the basic investment to protect forests" Trevor Philips, "If he put money in those would be taz rises" Zack Polanski, "We could bring in a wealth tax. 1% on £10m or more, and a 2% on £1 billion or more, could raise between £15-20 billion" "The wider point here is the cost of inaction. If we allow carbon emissions to rise we know will face increasing wildfires and floods, which damage people's lives and also our economy, our infrastructure and for getting around" "And you don't need to take my word for it, just listen to the insurance companies"
