The Net Zero extremists, were only ever a small minority, yet the majority allowed them to get away with murder, quite literally because many people have died due to the fuel price rises, the policies of food price rises, the destruction of forest to grow “green” crops etc.
Fortunately, and as I rightly predicted, the cost of net zero was not just eye watering at the time they started on the insanity, but net zero has put up the cost of net zero, so that the costs increase every step of the way so it literally is an impossible target to reach except by giving up all pretence to a modern economy.
And, fortunately, the costs now cannot be hidden as they were on electricity bills where the costs of the green taxes were hidden by being charged on the supplier and not the consumer.
So what happens now?
Net zero will not go away. Politicians will continue to claim that they are all in favour of Net Zero, but they will not do anything at all about it, because only a tiny group of extremely rich and lazy students with nothing else to worry about, will imagine that Net Zero is a priority. It will now stand aside the ambitions to get rid of poverty (when poverty is defined as below the average income), or to get rid of crime … whilst not changing any spending or priority to achieve that.
Indeed, I think we will start to see, just as they have recently, flying off to an oil producing country to talk about ending oil and oil use, we’ll see politicians embracing “more oil” along with “Net Zero”.
Which, means they will be inventing a new name for the meaningless platitude. “Climate friendly” might be such a term. As in “we are committed to climate friendly policies”.
