@ClimateHuman yepp!

"Net-zero by 2050" is straight-up climate denial.

This isn’t because “2020 sucks”, it’s because of climate change and the fossil fuel industry, who knew for decades the damage they would cause, but decided to destroy life on earth because it made them rich. This isn’t a “2020 is a bad year” thing, this will continue to worsen.

A gilt is a financial instrument that pays interest payments twice/year to the holder of the gilt, up to and including the date on which the amount borrowed is finally repaid. Gilts are typically sold to large investment banks which, in turn, sell the gilts on to end-investors.
