The Farage’s and Tice’s of this world- who claim otherwise – are just in the pocket of their fossil fuel paymasters. The way I see it, they’ll be the only people that don’t benefit from clean, renewable energy.
No –
>OBR: Net-zero is much cheaper than thought for UK – and unchecked global warming far more costly, **if the entire globe also commits to limit warming**
Which it isn’t and probably won’t, so the cost to us will be the same regardless of our net zero attempt.
Also doesn’t factor in that you can’t re-industrialise the UK at all on the back of net zero restriction, which long term could be far more damaging.
You cannot neatly predict the cost of a policy today like that, and it’s ridiculous that anyone takes this as evidence for anything at all
But that means less money for the billionaires D: the horror
Be as that may be, the UK going green won’t save the world.
I’m looking forward to when we are 100% green, bankrupt, and it’s had zero effect on global emissions.
I feel like on the surface this is a bit obvious, but it’s good to see some data behind it rather than “it feels obvious”; though you post this to /r/ukpolitics or /r/uknews and the ignorance force will be out in moments to tell you how actually we should be going 100% into north sea oil and that net zero is stupid and should be dropped.
The problem is getting China and India on board with global warming
If global warming occurs london will be under water, Somerset won’t exist and anything around the wash and norfolk will be gone.
Can’t imagine that will be cheap to resolve.
Yes, everyone sensible already knew this because sustainable energy is just that… sustainable. And the more you have it the cheaper it gets because in general the thing that makes sustainable energy cheap is that the “fuel” cost is very low to free.
And for an island ask any civil engineer you know what things are the hardest to build… and the answer is anything with water in, near or on it.
How much is the cost of both since one doesn’t fix the other?
So we are just going to pretend that whether global warming happens or not depends entirely on UK net zero policy? There are no other significant polluting countries out there? Just the UK?
I swear, a large percentage of UK elites still exist in the 1700/1800s. In their mind the UK is an empire and the only industrial nation on Earth.
That way you can be like Rory Stewart and his wife and cosplay as colonial governors like castigating the proles about their myopic outlook on life.
We couild increase/decrease our emissions 5x and it would not make a difference while Orange man is hallucinating about “clean coal”, China is creating fake welfare factory jobs, India is using rivers like landfills and Putin is ramping up military production and the Saudi’s are building freaking glass walls in the middle of the desert….
The neat thing about global warming is that even if we in Britain go net zero we will have almost no effect.
The human race is currently burning more coal than at any point in history. Every gram of coal or millilitre of oil that we don’t burn will be bought and burnt by someone else who can’t afford the luxury of net zero policies.
Problem is the OBR have just copied figures from the CCC without looking at how realistic they are. And they are cloud cuckoo land stuff.
This group is sooo left wing cr@p. Sea level will not rise. There is more ice at poles than ever before. Wind farms kill over 100,000 birds a year. Use more co2 to build and run than they save. Uk co2 level is 0.00004% of worlds 0.04% total level. All lies for more tax.
This is a good study, and the best course of action is to give nobel peace prize to Oil Companies, and their bosses.
