Well done. I’ve been asked to stand as a local

councillor and if I do this and get elected I’ll be all over their net zero garbage and will undoubtedly use your content. Thanks and continued success Ben.

Good luck with this Ben. It's important: we need as many people as possible to engage with this vitally important topic. The consequences of letting our 'leaders' continue with their absurd policies are frightening. One point to which I suggest you give inadequate attention in the above statement is this: even if all the scare stories were true, policies such as Net Zero could not solve them and, far from improving our well-being , would actually make it very much worse.

William Briggs calls this (politicians failure to back a successful horse) out really well.

NetZero?..... I got a far better suggestion.. …. Do Nothing!..

Let’s halt all action on these wild and crazy NetZero solutions and focus on our current technologies to recover our prosperity and industries.

The facts so far show no trends on climate impact on our civilizations that some solid adaption cannot easily fix. Mitigation of CO2 and the rush to replace fossil fuels is foolish and will cost far more lives and hardship. Plus, we are wasting our wealth on all this NetZero. Its time for common sense to prevail.

Until it is proved we have a problem, why are we wasting time and money on it?

Time to change to governments that get it!

Climate science is far from settled, and a huge and widening gulf exists between what the UN politicos and the sensation seeking media are saying to scare the population, and what the real scientists are saying.

The climate emergency has become a religion that satisfies the woke driven global world view that the planet needs saving from the greedy human scourge. It also fits the bill for those that want to use it to better control the population.

Anyway, whatever your politics, the scientific facts do not even come close to supporting this climate emergency nonsense.

On just about every sustainability metric the increase in global temperature and the following increase in CO2 (for whatever reason) is good news for humanity.

So, we need to stop vilifying the flourishing capability of fossil fuels, and although we can with time evolve our energy sources to better and cleaner forms, the developing world will use what it can dig out of the ground for many years to come… so get over it sunshine.

We now have plenty of scientific facts to make the case that at the very least, whatever you want to believe, we must have much more discussion on the need for NetZero before we destroy humanity with our own misplaced virtuousness.

Ben - I've clicked the 'Subscribe' button thinking it would offer me options on payment subscriptions but nothing came up on screen. However, my Substack subscriptions page shows me as a 'Paid' subscriber. I'm happy to pay but I don't think I actually have.
