Can you provide some reputable source which supports the claim that achieving net zero by 2050 will NOT adversely affect industry and the people of the UK? It will come at a huge cost and make out industries uncompetitive I've no doubt and if not properly managed will harm our economy and the...

No need for heads in sand. Everything changes/evolves but I see no rational reasoning behind bringing in sweeping change which if not carefully synchronised and choreographed in step with the rest of the world will only serve to harm the UK's economy and for what if other nations don't advance...

Militant green groups like JSO are simply green fringe lunatics not dissimilar to religious extremists, they worship their GW god unquestioningly. I'm all for the UK government aiming for the 2050 deadline in order to cut down harmful emissions to help the planet in some small way providing...

On the contrary Robin, far from being blinkered and toeing lines set by people who clearly haven't fully thought things through properly, I've actually shed any potential blinkers and actually looked at what the reality of these lines spell for ordinary people! You might try the same. All...

I've heard all this virtue signaling rubbish put out by the Greenfreaks before and it just doesn't wash! Achieving net zero is going to seriously impact on ordinary people's lives if introduced too quickly, it will also make the UK's industries uncompetitive if we follow a faster track toward...

I really don't share your blinkered views...of course it will affect our industries if we end up as a nation unilaterally achieving net zero. Unless we achieve it at the same rate as do other nations then of course we'd lose out and to think otherwise is barmy!

Are you suggesting that going all out for net zero at all costs will NOT hamstring one's economy? The way I see it it WILL hamstring our economy especially if it is implemented too quickly or others fail to match our rate of cut backs to achieve net zero by 2050. What would we actually achieve...

We all know what we should be doing but you've not answered one single question, why is that?

Bearing in mind I'm not a climate denier or remotely against net zero, only the timing I would suggest that those who are militant and often engaged in green matters take a look at the following list and then answer the questions below. China, USA, India, Russia, Japan, Indonesia, Iran and...

Explain exactly how the wealthy are most responsible for Co2 generation as opposed to the poorest? By the way I don't see the issue as something that is a socialist problem...the way I see it the problem is A-political.

Yes the flooding was awful by any standard. However, out of curiosity and no trickery I assure you, but I wonder if those pictures of flooded Spanish towns were pictures of towns built on flood plains or wadis? I'm not suggesting they were but it would be wise to look into it before using those...

It's all well and good for those virtue signalers who can afford electric vehicles with their higher incomes living in their suburban semi or detached homes but millions of people aren't in that position so as already mentioned, EVs are virtually impractical in such as traditional inner city and...

As I've argued it doesn't matter which metric you use, in the case of India the reality is that the nation produces nearly 8 times more Co2 than the UK. It's the total output at the end of the day which is the critical factor not semantics therefore India in essence either produces more or...

Unfortunately anyone who thinks giving extra money to the government in the form of taxes and then expecting them to reduce atmospheric pollution is living with cuckoos. The impact of this planned nonsense net zero target in the UK is going to have most impact on the poorest and retired, that is...

It makes no difference whatever metric one uses to determine who is guilty of what with regard Co2 emissions. It's the amount that is emitted by individual countries and not per capita or soundbite which is the benchmark. All of these measures aimed at achieving net zero in the UK are going to...

There's always one who wants to pour scorn linked to the past on the UK and they've just emerged from under the bridge. I'll wager it's made their day. I wasn't alive in the 19th Century and neither was anyone else, either in this country or elsewhere. It's what is happening now that counts. If...

I don't give a monkey's what approach is used as long as those in charge of the UK don't sell the UK out just to virtue signal ...let those who pollute most start by reducing their outputs accordingly and then let us join in and do out bit.

..and so they damned well SHOULD! Those 4 countries between them contribute 57.43% of the world's Co2 output! They're the ones who should be leading the way and not expecting such as the UK to set the standards which contributes many times less than the lowest performers in that group. Before...

We can make a huge difference just by reducing consumerism. Other than food production to feed and the energy needed to keep the world's population from starving and warm, consumerism is the primary driving force behind the issues the planet faces. China for instance produces 37.36 times Co2...

My sentiment exactly. I've always sets targets in my life and they have worked well but then they were also realistic otherwise setting targets too high without the means to fire the shot accurately in the first place means you will miss quite badly every time and it inevitably leads to...
