Think of COâ‚‚ removal like a time machine. How far back does planting 100 million trees take us? One mature tree takes up ~25 kg of COâ‚‚/year, so 100 million trees will take up 2.5 MtCOâ‚‚. That's a time machine that takes us back ~33 minutes in a year. Nature will not save us from fossil fuel COâ‚‚.

He has prostrated himself before the far right in a futile attempt to attract its voters, as if the vast body of evidence which shows that this NEVER works - and only legitimises hate and racism - did not exist. In doing so he has lost his real voters, alienating his base in spectacular fashion.

Nadim Zahawi arrived in the UK from Iraq as a child refugee. His family claimed asylum once they were here. Today he has joined Reform who will stop all in country asylum applications. Under his new party, his own family fleeing persecution would be immediately deported.
