Government admits climate consensus is breaking down
Net Zero Watch says failure to prepare official cost estimate is culpable

Net Zero Watch has welcomed the admission by the Government that the political consensus over decarbonisation is breaking down. Speaking in the House of Lords yesterday, the Minister of State, Lord Hunt, said:

“I sense, as the noble Lord, Lord Frost, suggested, that some of the political consensus on net zero may be breaking down.”

Net Zero Watch director Andrew Montford said:

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

It likely will drag on for years in this country - if Kamala wins. :thud:

The "consensus" was phony from the get-go.
As phony as the lie of "net zero" itself.

All the air's starting to run out of it...

So essentially, a 'consensus' isn't science.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
