Not Zero

In this audiobook, Ross Clark critically examines the UK government's ambitious plan to achieve Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, questioning its practicality and potential consequences. He argues that the policy relies on unproven and speculative technologies, which could harm living standards, especially for the poor, and give advantages to geopolitical rivals like China and Russia. Clark also warns that the rigid timeline might lead to ineffective solutions while diverting attention from vital adaptation strategies. The work offers a provocative critique of what it describes as a potentially damaging political consensus.
