Campaign group Net Zero Watch has welcomed the announcement by the Scottish Government that they are considering legislating to water down their Net Zero targets.
Net Zero Secretary Mairi McAllan told Holyrood that, having set themselves a legally binding target of cutting carbon emissions by 75% by 2030, she and her officials were now considering a variety of options to address the impossibility of actually delivering, including legislation.
Welcoming the move, Net Zero Watch director Andrew Montford said: "Politicians across the world have set ruinous, utopian targets that are impossible to deliver. Ms McAllan is the first to publicly face up to reality, but she won't be the last. We have reached the high water mark for Net Zero."
Ms McAllan's humiliating climbdown came after a damning report from the Climate Change Committee (CCC) said that the 2030 targets are now "beyond what is credible" to be achieved. Chris Stark, the CCC chief executive added that "there is no plan to hit it".
In actual fact we need MORE CO2 in our atmosphere not less. If you read science blogs or articles our world is sadly depleted in CO2 and we would do well to INCREASE our carbon dioxide not decrease it. It is the gas of LIFE !!!!
ReplyDeleteA good point. Dr William Happer has spoken about that. You can find his talk here: https://climatescience.blogspot.com/2021/03/why-co2-emissions-are-not-causing.html
