as a result of this, you know, because farmers are facing more insecurity.

So we will be paying more for our food.

Schools as well.

The government wants all schools to have air conditioning, but not until 2050.

If you're a private school, you're probably going to have air conditioning a lot sooner.

So your pupils are probably going to be better looked after.

There's lots of ways in which our unequal society today will become more unequal in future if we're not very careful.

Making electricity cheaper.

Renewable energy is the way to do that.

We've seen the consequences of fossil fuel wars twice now in the last five years.

We've had fuel crises and inflationary crises, economic crises coming from fossil fuels.

How many more of these crises do we need to see before we learn?

You can't took off the supply of wind or sun and the UK is generating an awful lot more of its electricity from renewable sources now than it was.

Going for green electricity has already brought down electricity prices.

You haven't noticed that because the electricity prices are still hitched to the price of gas, which is a really silly way to operate now and which the government should be changing and can change.

But that's why people are seeing increases in electricity prices, even though they should be seeing falls from the amount of renewable energy we've got.

When we sort that out, we will have cheaper electricity and we should have more abundant electricity as we build out more wind farms and more solar panels.

He never really grasped the climate crisis when he was prime minister and he doesn't appear to be grasping it now.
