ANDREW NEIL: Everywhere, there’s a growing revolt against net zero
praca niemcy pieczarki opinie – https://praca-na-magazynie.ofertyn.pl/praca-za-granica/niemcy/. The headlong rush to net zero carbon emissions by 2050, pursued for so long by democratic governments across the globe regardless of cost, has finally hit the buffers of voter resistance. Mainstream politicians of the left, right and centre still mouth their consensual net zero platitudes but they are rowing back from the policies required to achieve it at some speed, praca niemcy pieczarki opinie not least here in Britain. It has at last dawned on Prime Minister Rishi Sunak that a population already reeling from a vicious cost of living crisis does not need to be lumbered by the extra burden of the expensive and intrusive green agenda of a political elite which will not itself suffer any hardship from it.
So he has delayed the ban on new petrol and diesel cars and praca w polskim przedszkolu za granicą – praca-w-ogrodnictwie.ofertyn.pl – the fatwa on new residential gas heating systems until 2035 (from 2030 and 2025 respectively). Expect more delays to come. Sunak and his team justified his U-turn because ‘governments of all stripes have not been honest about the cost and trade-offs’, because the drive to net zero would impose ‘unacceptable costs on hard-pressed British families’, and because ‘we’re not going to save the planet by bankrupting the British people’.
Rishi Sunak has delayed the ban on new petrol and diesel cars and the fatwa on new residential gas heating systems until 2035 Fair enough. Better late than never. But we must still file the PM under ‘slow learner’. When I interviewed then Chancellor Sunak in June 2021 during my mercifully brief broadcasting career at GB News (only eight shows over two weeks), I asked him to tell us the cost of net zero.
He couldn’t. I suggested it would be in the trillions and it was surely the Treasury’s duty to come up with a price tag. He obfuscated. He said after the interview that nobody had ever asked him the cost before. He’s taken his time to find out, if he has.
