When will the economy begin to recover?

Can you answer my point?

But you cannot tell me that spending all this money and destituting ourselves will actually make one iota of difference.

Far better to spend the money on mitigating any negatives as and when (if) they arise.

Climate change is better.

From 2000 to 2019 we had around 60,500 people die from the cold - in the same timeframe just 800 died from heat. If we moved to this Mediterranean climate they keep promising we would save thousands of lives.

You seem to be missing the fact that the UK does not live in isolation as far as climate is concerned. If we were to get a Mediterranean climate then the changes are likely to be just as substantial elsewhere in the world. The impacts globally would be devastating insofar as agriculture is concerned, with the likelihood of massive crop failures in previously fertile areas. Those with food will prioritise feeding their own populations. Those without enough to do that - like us - could be in big trouble. A collapse in global agriculture would likely see famine on a global scale with possibly billions starving and other billions desperately seeking new homes. Some nations might be tempted to fight wars over food supplies.

But aside from all that, this blasé assumption of a Mediterranean climate of constant summer sun and mild winters might not actually come to pass. Some climatologists think our climate could become a lot wetter. But worse than that, our climate is already a lot warmer than it would otherwise be in these latitudes due to the gulf stream. This is powered by what is called the Atlantic conveyer whereby warmer water  flows northwards keeping us warm before sinking and flowing back south deep under the ocean. I will not make this post any longer than necessary by detailing the science. Suffice it to say that the salinity of the water is a big factor in this and that reducing the salinity of the water by adding a lot of unsalty fresh water slows it down and can potentially stop it all together. There is climatological evidence that this has happened before. And here is the thing. Global warming is starting to melt the Greenland ice, and this is accelerating, pouring more fresh water into the North Atlantic. And the Gulf Stream has measurably slowed due to this.

If as a result of global warming so much fresh meltwater flows into the North Atlantic that the Gulf Stream shuts down completely, whilst average global temperatures increase, locally here and in north-western Europe things could get a lot colder for a millennium or two.

So just assuming that we are going to be like Greece and thinking all will be well is complacency writ large.

talking of spending money - energy bills are going to rise by another £170 a year from next month as the Net Zero levy is implemented.

If we get much more of this cheap energy we will all be bankrupt...

I'm sorry to hear that £14 a month would bankrupt you. 

I propose we increase that amount and then lower the energy price for your first 6kwh per day. That way vulnerable people like yourself will be kept safe.
