- It infuriates and frustrates in equal measure - electric cars, heat pumps, wind farms blighting the countryside. Is there any way to make a conservative argument for tackling climate change?
Kamal is joined by those who treat Net Zero like a dirty word - as well as those who believe there is a blue way to a green future instead of Energy Minister Ed Miliband's plans.

So out of touch with ordinary people who cant afford to do any of this
Net zero is utter bollocks.
Ed Milliband is a bloody nut and will ruin us all
Nailed it. 👍
Exactly.
and so is any possibility of changing the climate no matter how we destroy our, and every other Nations, industry.
Oh! Let's conserve our green and pleasent land by covering it in pylons, windmills, solar panels and incendiary batteries. Great plan, says no one.
Sight Blight.

The climate has and will always change and it is incredible that politicians think humans can do anything to stop it. It is political and about power. Look at the money and who is making vast amounts of it
Yeah, oil and gas companies have been making record profits year on year
They don't believe it or they wouldn't all have beachfront mansions.
It's a big lie and they all know it.

There have been at least 500 recorded such events in the last 10k years.
Net Zero appstles always make me think of old King Cnut trying to hold back the tide. An anagram of Cnut springs to mind when I think of the damage they are doing to the economy.
Two words.
Unachievable
Ruinous
Going green costs thousands of jobs, Port Talbot being a fine example. Grangemouth refinery next.
All those job losses that will come as companies, industry and shops etc are forced to ‘go green’, is what politicians don’t want to talk about.
I would have thought that given the climate refugees we will see coming to the UK as temperatures increase and water and food becomes scarce, Conservatives would care about stopping warming at 2 degrees.
They can't think that way, bless them. Just look at the whole Brexit debacle.
Guess what - the ice caps won't melt in 5000 years. Grow up
europe is particularly vulnerable to climate change. If those ice caps melt, it will mess with the gulf and europe turns into cities at that latitude like in Canada. There is a reason Europe has such a mild temperature despite being so far up norrth. In Canada those cities have -30C winters
The southern ice cap is all floating, it displaces no more water if it melts. Also the weather in the continental US and Canada has the same westerly wind direction that we have here in Europe. The Atlantic is a (relatively) warm body of water and the low level winds pick warm up as they transit the Atlantic. US and Canadian cities on the west coast have similar seasonal temperatures to western European cities. Cities on the east coast of the American continent are much colder as are cities in the east of Europe for example winters in Moscow are much more severe than Glasgow which is at about the same latitude.

I'm a conservative. Net zero is an impossible ideal. Electric cars won't get us there. Electric cars are worse for the environment than gasoline cars. Stopping China and India's dependence on coal and switching them to natural gas in the meantime would be a major step in the right direction. Lots of hydroelectric dams all over the world would be a good step. Lots of nuclear power plants all over the world, too. Notice I didn't say wind or solar? Those are fickle sources of power. Neither are cost effective and the physical collectors for wind and solar are just as bad for the environment as electric cars. Moving populations away from coasts and off farmland and forests would be another good step. Instead of building our cities up, they should be built down.
We are altering our atmosphere. We are warming our planet up. We have some time, 50 to 75 years, before it gets really hot. But we need to get moving on real solutions, not stop gap measures.
Net zero for us but not for them. Net zero meaning don’t even breathe. 😂
I hate it when there is a conflagration of electrification (sensible) and Renewables (very ,very bad on many levels). Can we just move towards efficiency (heat pumps) and forget intermittent , low density sources of electricity. It would be so much better to have district combined heat and power to replace boiler and replace steam reformed industrial hydrogen with electrolysis at the point of use. The renewable / battery storage , government risk and subsidy 'madhouse' cannot continue?
It would make sense to me if we invested a sizeable sum of money in developing green tech which could be exported and scaled across the world.
But if we just decarbonise our own grid using current technology, that will have a negligible impact on global emissions, make us all poorer, and mostly just further enrich Chinese manufacturers.
Those people are just clueless. I can understand how they got it all wrong. The problem is they think they are clever. They are believers. Religion is an easy way out for people by some reason. And Climate religion is the latest trend. I'm sorry to say democracy is maybe not such a great idea.
Nicee!
Millibrand ...Lord Janner..CPS ..
This is over 40 minutes of complete waffle with no answers to the problem of how we are going to store massive amounts of energy in any way that makes our economy feasible and competitive.
More crap NO ONE WANTS! DROP THIS "GREEN" RIP OFF NOW!
Net Zero could eventually lead to to the end of all life on earth, and is not only anti-human, but anti-life.
Total softball questions amd reactions. No journalism to see here.
