Societal and ecological collapse at 3-4C warming.
For <2C, the UK has 7 years of current CO2 emissions.
Drax and CCS are delay tech.
Heat pumps, good public transport, and deep cuts of aviation are essential.

Without ECO, the UK is left without a large scale fuel poverty scheme. While £1.5bn is promised under the Warm Homes Plan, it’s a downgrade on the £6.4bn ECO would have spent in the same period. For households this scheme would have supported, this is a huge loss.

ECO supports thousands of jobs across Britain, particularly in Scotland. This includes retrofit experts and installers who are vital to ensuring everyone lives in a warmer, safer home. This move will cost jobs and could undermine the UK’s ambitions to improve cold, drafty homes.
