NET ZERO

Peter Hitchens masterfully exposes the farcical nature of Net Zero, to the absolute dismay of BBC Question Time panellists and audience members.

"We didn't just close down our coal fired power stations, we blew them up, we were so certain we were right to do so. At the same time, China is building the equivalent of two new coal fired power stations a week. India has a vast expansion programme of coal fired power stations."

"The contribution which this country is making to these outcomes is not merely minimal, it's non-existent. Everything that we do is completely blotted out by what much larger countries are doing to maintain their own power."

"If you want to live in a country where nobody can afford to heat their house... if you want lots of people to lose their jobs because there's no energy, if you want to be cold all the time... then carry on believing that the demand to go for Net Zero is intelligent and thoughtful."

Re: NET ZERO

its economic suicide for the west other countries building coal fire power stations include

India building building 64 coal power stations
Indonesia building 19 coal power stations
Russia building 13 coal power stations
Kazakhstan building 10 coal power stations
Bangladesh building 8 coal power stations
Pakistan building 8 coal power stations
Philippines building 7 coal power stations
Vietnam building 7 coal power stations
South Africa building 4 coal power stations

Currently there are 2,435 coal-fired power plants operating across the globe, with a capacity of 2,121 gigawatts (GW)

i did notice the government announce plans to build gas power plants today

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's government pledged Tuesday to build new gas-fired power stations to boost energy security, drawing criticism over his climate policies before this year's general election.

Wouldn't you say its more beneficial in any situation to see both sides of the debate/argument/whatever?

Just dismissing something because you don't like who said it takes a whole view point away from you, and to be better informed wouldn't it make more sense to see things from more than just the POV you're most likely to agree with?

Just because you don't like someone doesnt mean they can't be right

Re: NET ZERO

When there is no energy and no food, people will beg the government to save them and they will do anything in return.

I had thought about paring back my international jaunts but realised that the pollution caused by them are totally nsignificant considering the above and existing industries around the world.

you do realise that all of the countries you've mentioned have net zero targets themselves

I wonder if the wars we are paying for also have net zero targets, or are they exempt?

just looked at the paris climate agreement and can't see anything !

Have a look under the nuclear weapon net zero targets, I think it's next to the 20mph section

Re: NET ZERO

Highly intellectually and stimulating is our Peter , he'd tie in a few politicians and scientists in knots

Don't always agree with his very forthright views however he is able to set out his position or view very well.
