Net zero

[vivdunstan]

I've recently been reading much more about climate change. And it is the most horrifying thing ever. The planet is facing an existential crisis. Without rapid huge changes it will be barely liveable in for future generations. Watering down hugely net zero policies is not responsible politics. Nor is pretending that doing so can still deliver the required results. Shame on Sunak. Shame on the Tories. We need to act decisively now.

It's no surprise to me, but given how much I've been reading in depth very recently re the climate crisis - which is also making me beyond depressed about it - it's just the worst timing ever. And it's not remotely as if net zero by 2050 is anywhere near enough.

Indeed. This year's data is very worrying, as much of it is not just showing the previous climate model's worst case scenarios, but even worse ones such as the Antarctic sea ice levels as well as heat bubbles in NA and Asia.
