Remembering 1976

I remember it well....

“What was extraordinary for my mother’s generation is not extraordinary for my children,” said Emma Pinchbeck, chief executive of the Climate Change Committee. “Even if we cut emissions, we need to prepare for a fundamentally different climate to the one of 1976.”

The Climate Change Committee puts “a cost on almost anything”, said Pinchbeck, “but as a mother I have found no relative cost to the grief of what my child will lose”.
