I am a climate scientist and this is correct ⬇️
Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Bank of England to further relax rules for banks and insurers.

Most of the post-2008 crash reforms reversed.

Insurers won't need regulatory approval for high risk investment.

Bank risk reporting reduced.

Bank/Insurers capital requirements reduced.

Who will pay when it crashes?

Shockat is an optician.

A new optician opened opposite him. See what Ashworth posted, and the response.
