Report Says Green Transition Crumbling—But Will Eurocrats Give Up Their Net Zero Fantasy
National governments are in gradual retreat from their “hard promises” to wean their economies off fossil fuels, according to a new report.
Since the 2010s the failures of green technologies to become economically viable have prompted nations to dilute or postpone established environmental targets, says British journalist Ross Clark in “The Retreat from Net Zero,” commissioned by research group Net Zero Watch.
Noting that non-Western governments are moving away from decarbonization policies in order to protect their economies (and, one could guess, their positions in power), the report also highlights the importance of national interests being asserted in a geopolitical scene that is no longer unipolar.
Even the EU faces an agrarian backlash against its destructive ecological regulations.
Scathingly, Clark predicts more political fallout for advocates of the green transition:
