[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 1221522, member: 70552"] The problem with politicians is that are only elected for terms. Of course Badenoch is going to say it’s impossible to get to net zero. But it’s poor messaging. It’s one issue that the world has to pull together on. But isn’t because at its heart it is totally contradictory to the whole world view on monetary profit and cost. The planet doesn’t give a **** about either. We’ve known for decades that putting carbon in the atmosphere will cause the planet to warm and in turn the climate to change. No one says it was going to be easy and will cost us financially but the long term consequences, not just 5 year terms or next 25 years will cost an hell of a lot more both financially and also non. How do you fix rising sea levels, crops that fail because not enough rain, or too much rain, rising migration from places impacted by climate change? That’s where populist parties exploit people - by just denying it or it can be fixed by science because all it will do is increase inequality. It should be now embedded within every political policy to get individuals/ businesses to get ready for net zero. Not moving goal posts because “oh it’s just too hard.” This isn’t just for now it’s for your children, grand children’s etc and so on generation because they will look back and blame us for not doing enough.
