A lot of ‘requiring’ going on here. We read ‘researchers are calling for the urgent development of a UK public engagement strategy for Net Zero’

The pace and scale of behavior change required to meet the UK’s Net Zero targets will require the UK Government to do much more to support people to make greener choices, say the authors of a newly published review.
Environmental psychologists based at the Center for Climate Change & Social Transformations (CAST) at the University of Bath conducted a review for the Climate Change Committee (CCC)—the independent non-departmental body that advises the UK Government on adapting to and mitigating the effects of climate change, says Phys.org.
Across two reports, they highlight that to reach Net Zero by 2050, substantial emissions reductions will need to come from people making greener choices. The review focuses on eight key areas where behavior change is required. [Talkshop comment – *required*…you will obey!]
Areas where individuals will need to shift behaviors include diet (i.e., reducing high-carbon foods like meat and dairy); reducing consumption by reusing, repairing, and recycling; flying less; and supporting farmers to increase tree-planting.
The review also considers areas where other forms of behavior change are required, such as upskilling workers with new Net Zero skills and careers; supporting businesses to be more sustainable; and creating well-accepted fair policies for all. [Talkshop comment – whatever that means?]
The review finds that most behavior change interventions are focused on changes at an individual level—for example by giving people information. However, they conclude that these measures are generally less effective at shifting behavior than interventions which make greener choices more attractive, affordable, convenient, or the default; or regulations and incentives led by the Government or businesses to support behavior change.
In order to bring about these changes and involve the public in the process, the researchers are calling for the urgent development of a UK public engagement strategy for Net Zero.

“to get everyone ready to ‘shift behaviours’ in various specified ways…” isn’t that just what they were telling us during Covid? Sturgeon certainly took great delight in telling us that NOTHING would be the same afterwards.
You KNOW it stinks.
Maybe, just maybe the better idea would be to scrap all ideas of net-zero not only because the idea is stupid but also because I can’t see the population going back to living in mud huts.
As I have said before the net-zero nutters should be made to go and live on one of the islands of the Outer Hebrides for at least 6 months without any modern conveniences, electricity etc. then they can tell us all about how they survived.
Leaders require followers. They’ve never had it.
The truly pathetic thing here is that we pay for these people to fund “studies” that demand that we be forced to do what they want. Are we never going to wake up?
And all that while the CCC pretends to ge independent and these morons at Bath University pretend to be scientists whilst simply saying we must be forced to do what they want.
Maybe slightly O/T but all this nonsense about electricity: Our MSM including her ladyship JHB, discussing EU Net zero etc. .. Last night Uschi from Lying fame was wanting to STOP CHEAP EVs coming in to Europe / UK … but these same bampots want us all to drive EVs. … Och my mind is screwwed tryingto keep up up with them. We are rich enough to afford being stupid…. says the German mannie HOW TRUE .

and here’s something that makes the blood B O I L when you read into it : Electric tractors set to roll off Ohio plant BUT “At 2.5 kw to 12.5 kw, you can make something autonomous,” he says. “Think of a Roomba in your house. But for true tractors, with a loader, backhoe, implements, making it autonomous is tough. There are many applications where autonomous is not going to be possible.” … so are the Autonom. EVs people reading this? https://www.farmprogress.com/farming-equipment/electric-tractors-set-to-roll-off-ohio-plant?iiris_target_mode=recommend&utm_rid=CPG02000003393405&elq2=afff9dd5f48246e1a37f9360e4ceb1c7&sp_eh=246848a92c53a85456ba776c405922f1de36ce616297c6c2a37279b7e73a9cc9
interventions which make greener choices more attractive, affordable, convenient, or the default
More ‘attractive, affordable’ green choices – who are they kidding? Choice is being removed, and paying more for less isn’t attractive or affordable.
