Net zero: on the path to destruction – Richard North

DESNZ – blaming humans for changing the climate

As the author points out, many of the public may fail to notice the inevitable pain and folly of net zero ‘climate policies’ until it’s too late to avoid them. Democratic choice is in effect suspended by compulsory five year plans.

According to Guardian writer, Rafael Behr, Britain is trapped in political purgatory waiting for its undead government to fall, writes Richard North @ The Turbulent Times.

That may well be the case – or wishful thinking – but Behr goes on to add that “policy that can’t work and laws written purely for campaign slogans are clear symptoms of a moribund regime”.

He is, of course, talking about the controls over illegal immigration, which the entire Guardian collective would like to see junked, with no indication of what they would do to control the situation, other than open our borders and let all comers in.

Not one of the collective, though, would dream of substituting Behr’s homily on immigration with the same thought directed at net-zero. Yet it would be hard to find a better example of a policy that can’t work.

Whether the climate change laws were written purely for campaign slogans is moot, but the determination to press ahead with something which is so fatuous on the one hand, and so damaging, is quite obviously a symptom of a moribund regime.

In that the ambition to wreck the economy and much else besides is shared by both government and opposition, it is also definitely a regime defect, not just a “wobble” by the current administration that can be remedied at a general election by voting for the other side.

This is something made clear by Allister Heath in the Telegraph, writing under the heading: “The public still isn’t being told the full, horrifying truth about net zero”, adding the observation that “a restrictive architecture of carbon budgets and climate committees is killing democratic choice”.

The main heading itself had me thinking…

[From the conclusion of the article…]
Net-zero, on the established timescale, is a peculiarly British obsession, imposed regardless of what is happening elsewhere in the world. Many believe that climate change is only the excuse, and that the real agenda is control.

Rational, or even irrational alternatives, therefore, are not going to fly. The mania which drives net-zero is locked on its path to destruction and only when the full weight of its devastating effects becomes apparent will there be a popular reaction.

Until then, democracy is suspended and general elections are a meaningless farce. But then, we knew that already.
