Britain is Leading the World on Net Zero, But No One is Following
by Will Jones 9 August 2024 1:00 PM

Britain is leading the world on Net Zero, but no one is following, leaving Britain alone in committing green suicide, says Jeremy Warner in the Telegraph. Here’s an excerpt.

In China and much of the rest of the ‘developing world’, Net Zero targets appear to mean nothing at all beyond their usefulness in undermining the West. Economic growth is routinely prioritised over climate change goals.

Similarly in the U.S., which pays lip service to Net Zero while simultaneously celebrating its position as the world’s largest oil producer; big tax breaks for fracking go hand in hand with the hundreds of billions the Biden administration is pouring into the green energy transition.

Even holier-than-thou little Norway, which aims to be carbon neutral by 2030, seeks to extend the life of its North Sea oil and gas reserves long into the future with big ongoing incentives to invest.

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
