Yes, the UK government SHOULD abandon its Carbon Capture and Storage scheme, which
a. would cause a net *increase* in emissions
b. is unlikely to work
c. uses tens of billions that'd be much better spent on genuinely green projects.
Let's hope it has seen sense.

Labour’s carbon-capture scheme will be Starmer’s white elephant: a terrible mistake costing billions | George Monbiot

We can’t look at climate change, biodiversity loss, and human wellbeing in separate silos anymore.
Next — we need to look for effective, evidence-based solutions at the intersection of climate, nature, and people.

Disaster is a function of three things: exposure, vulnerability, and hazard.
As climate change pushes up the hazard rates for wildfire, flood, hurricane & more, lack of adaptation and maladaptation on the part of both public and private entities is increasing vulnerability.

Plan to dispose of nuclear waste from Aukus submarines unanimously rejected by Adelaide council
City of Port Adelaide Enfield’s mayor says she hadn’t received correspondence about storage or disposal before or after bill passed federal parliament

Plans to dispose of low-level nuclear waste from Aukus submarines at an Adelaide naval facility have been unanimously opposed by the local council for the area, who say they weren’t consulted.
The Osborne naval shipyard, 25km north of Adelaide CBD, and HMAS Stirling at Garden Island 50km south of Perth in Western Australia, have both been designated as “radioactive waste management facilities” for nuclear waste from Aukus submarines under the Australian naval nuclear power safety bill, which passed parliament in October.
