Last week our founder wrote on LinkedIn: I have been following climate politics for a long time. I do not think I have ever felt this upset. The response was overwhelming, and one question kept coming back: is the retreat really that widespread, or does it just feel that way?
So we verified it, decision by decision, source by source. The answer: 45 climate policy reversals in one year, across 15 jurisdictions and the global shipping regime. Every one is numbered, labelled and linked to its source in the full article. It is worse than it feels.
And the timing is the story. This was the summer the bill arrived: three heatwaves hit western Europe in three months, the June heatwave cut around 10 million tonnes, roughly 2 billion euros, from European grain forecasts, and one UK analysis counted 24 million lost working hours in a single week. Six of the 45 reversals landed during and right after that heatwave.
These decisions were not made in ignorance of the costs. They were made in the middle of them.
