I can actually understand the need for keeping coal fired powerstations running .. while greener, local, renewable energy is quickly implemented - including wave/tidal energy - as a defined and coordinated strategy

- but not seeing that

 

and why anyway if we were only 4% reliant on Russian gas as the populists declared

Ms coffey is worried about be able to remain as an MP - like many of them.

 

They're struggling to balance forcing through their obnoxious agendas while theres 2 years to go before they are forced into an election,

and not giving anyone anything which would even more display the pittances they want to offer in 2 years to try to con people into voting for them

- as pitances intended to con people into forgetting what **** these poopulists really are when they believe they are free to do what they want and the electorate cant do anything about it.

Net Zero is Marxism Dressed Up as Environmentalism
 

”

The underlying climate message is hard-core Marxist. Recognising the reality of climate breakdown means limiting the freedom of the individual “in the name of the wellbeing of the collective”, Solnit states. There is another way to count wealth and abundance for the many including “meaningful work and purposeful lives”, she suggests.
 

You will be happy in your work and prosperous, declared the Communist posters of old. “They pretend to pay us, and we pretend to work”, muttered citizens of the old Soviet Union quietly among themselves.”

[honeybee13]

Marxism?

[tobyjugg2]

Nope

The main drive of Net zero is requiring companies NOT to abuse the planet for the profit of a few and hopefully prevent it from becoming unlivable for all but a few.

- So if not allowing a few to make vast profits from the destruction of our only home, and making them stop poisoning the very air we breath and the water we drink is marxism in your eyes, then that says more about you @theoldrouge

"The forest carbon offsets approved by the world’s leading provider and used by Disney, Shell, Gucci and other big corporations are largely worthless and could make global heating worse, according to a new investigation.

The research into Verra, the world’s leading carbon standard for the rapidly growing $2bn (£1.6bn) voluntary offsets market, has found that, based on analysis of a significant percentage of the projects, more than 90% of their rainforest offset credits – among the most commonly used by companies – are likely to be “phantom credits” and do not represent genuine carbon reductions."
