Net zero is a legal obligation. The international pressure, moreover, makes repudiation all but impossible. Britain would be a pariah if it tore up the objective.
For my reaction is bugger what Johnny Foreigner thinks and let’s do what is right and sensible.
But then kicking against the pricks is a ccharacter flaw of mine, agreed.
Odd that we have the same flaw, Tim.
Net zero is a legal obligation.
Only because the current Parliament says so; a future Parliament can un say so easily enough. These harpies make it sound like it’s an obligation to the United Federation of Planets Ultra Constitution (carved in hyper granite), or something.
International pressure can be a problem but then again by the time we’ve nationally had enough we aren’t necessarily going to be the only ones looking to cast off this mad shit.
Net Zero is a legal obligation but a practical impossibility if you take the rational view (LOL) and consider the world as a whole rather than our self-flagellating country exporting its emissions before importing essential products manufactured by less enlightened nations.
‘International pariah’?
So we’d be condemned by the Swedish goblin and her followers, various international bureaucrats and celebrities all of whom have ‘exemptions’ to the rules they are proposing because of ‘reasons’? Imagine my disappointment. I’m sure it’ll stop people coming over if we cancel it….
Warner has been phoning it in for some time now. One reason I tried to cancel my subscription and was given an 80% discount for six months to hold fire.
What they mean is politicians who who go to international meetings or fancy jobs in NGOs and the like will be embarrassed.
Everything they want to do to you is a “legal obligation” you didn’t sign up to, proven by “The Science ™” you know is lies, and held tight around your throat by international “agreements” you didn’t make.
But everything you, dear plebs, vote for is illegal and racist.
Can you tell what it is yet?
Given the number of states regarded as pariahs keeps increasing, is this the new “all shall have prizes”? Ultimately every state is a pariah to some other state and we can all just get on with doing whatever we want to do.
Sorry. Used up all my rants about the Thunderbum fantasy…
The middle class are always playing to imaginary disapproving audiences in other countries. Brexit produced the same delusion.
Net Zero is not a legal obligation anywhere else so no foreign country would be in a position to criticise.
It’s women, isn’t it? They care about being socially excluded (“pariahs”) in a way that men don’t.
Obviously we’re not going to turn the clock back on women’s votes, women in the workplace, women journalists, women in elected office, etc.; so let’s at least be honest about the differences between men & women (when relevant, which it is here).

And very few other countries have done as much to
bugger up their economymove towards Net Zero as the UK. (Germany may be one exception.)CBC had an article that said ‘New fuel regulations will increase cost of fuel, but they aren’t a tax’
As if anyone cares why the govt is increasing the cost. Governments are just metro elites who have no idea what living outside a city is like
Just noticed on Paul Homewoods site that the market price of offshore wind during May was £80 per MWh. The strike price (my understanding, the price we pay to the supplier) was £179 per MWh.
I’m so glad renewables are saving me money…..

Hmm.
That sounds like some sort of bigoted hate-speak, possibly of a far-right persuasion.
