  1. I disagree with Chris Stark. The concept of net zero by 2050 is scientifically mandatory and easily understood, as well as being viable to achieve with sufficient determination

    As ever, there are vested financial interests anxious to sell fossil fuels.
    But it would be utterly irresponsible to abandon the entire concept , just because of these selfish and irresponsible minority interests

    1. I fully agree with you but when you see much of the press, the expression is quite toxic. Personally I prefer “decarbonisation” to net zero because I want to minimise an opening for fossil fuels. But even I use net zero a lot.
