Heads In the Hot, Hot Sand?

Climate scientists have made it clear that the current wave of record temperatures in Southern Europe, China and the USA, couldn't happen without the contribution of anthropogenic produced 'greenhouse gases'. They predict that such extreme weather events are likely to happen every 2-3 years (https://www.theguardian.com/science/2023/jul/25/deadly-global-heatwaves-undeniably-result-of-climate-crisis-scientists-attribution). The scientists call for an urgent reduction in the release of 'greenhouse gases'. This might help slow the rate of acceleration towards a climate catastrophe but it's uncertain it would even do that (tipping points, anyone?). There's already decades of climate disruption in the 'works'. The only response from the UK's PM is to see electorial 'merit' in blocking or slowly any move to carbon zero, if it might impact on household finances (https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/jul/24/rishi-sunak-suggests-delay-or-abandon-green-net-zero-pledges). Has nobody advised him that the financial consequences of climate change will be an order of magnitude in excess of increases in congestion charges or the price of bread?
