Not Zero: How an Irrational Target Will Impoverish You, Help China (and Won't Even Save the Planet)

Product Information

The world is getting warmer, that much is clear. But the evidence for that needs to be dissociated from the tendency of some campaigners to try to pin every piece of adverse weather on man-made climate change.”

Clark argued that: “if it involved any other subject, the news that the Government hid estimates of the true cost of one of its policies would be a scandal.”Clark wrote an article for the Spectatorwhere he argued that if governments look at ways of decreasing single-use plastic bags then they should also look at other materials and ‘bags for life’ and said that environment policymaking “tends to dart between fashionable issues, ignoring complexities”. 77 Ross Clark. “ The great plastic panic,” Spectator, January 20, 2019.

Archive URL: http://archive.fo/ShsZcHaving considered these points, and many others that Ross makes in his book, I started to think more broadly about the state of the ‘debate’ on climate change, and that was the most alarming thing in some ways. I noticed that it has become increasingly difficult in ‘polite’ circles to even mildly question a certain narrative: namely, that there is an immediate catastrophic climate crisis that necessitates the adoption of draconian policies to prevent the earth being consumed in a fiery furnace in the very near future, and that these policies must be driven through at all costs, and democracy – and any other consideration – be damned. Clark also called for green-minded rebel MPs to push for “increasing investment in gas”, before concluding that the so-called “rebel MPs” should “leave [onshore wind] well alone”. Clark describeda short-lived interview he had with former US Vice President Al Gore who was in the UK to promote his documentary An Inconvenient Sequel. Upon Clark questioning how big of a problem climate change is, Al Gore called him a “denier”. In the article Clark describes Gore as “an obstacle to serious debate”. 81 Ross Clark. “ Question Al Gore on climate change and he’ll call you a ‘denier’,” Spectator, August 20, 2017.

Clark, Ross (2023) Not Zero: How an Irrational Target Will Impoverish You, Help China (and Won't Even Save the Planet) Forum Press ISBN 978 1800752429 https://swiftpress.com/book/not-zero/ This devastating and detailed demolition of the case for committing Britain to Net Zero should be compulsory reading for everybody in government and the media. Ross Clark is relentless in his pursuit of facts" Clark also criticised the “hysteria and doom-mongering” surrounding the climate change debate, before claiming: “If you want to reach net zero in the next few years through the curtailment of lifestyles, you are not going to achieve it without returning society to a pre-industrial level of subsistence”. For the benefit of climate activists who live under the delusion that anyone who fails to share their belief must be in the pay of big oil, I am not part of the bonanza – I have avoided investing directly in fossil fuel companies for several years specifically so that no one can level that claim at me.” The British government has embarked on an ambitious and legally-binding climate change target: reduce the country’s greenhouse gas emissions to Net Zero by 2050. The Net Zero policy was subject to almost no parliamentary or public scrutiny, and is universally approved by our political class. But what will its consequences be?The Left has moved on from simply using the emotive language of Holocaust-denial and applying it to climate change scepticism. Rather, they now treat climate scepticism as a medieval-style heresy.” Clark, Ross (2012). A Broom Cupboard of One's Own: The housing crisis and how to solve it (eBook). Harriman House.

Clark suggestedthat the reason many people in Britain would describe the majority of the world’s population as living in poverty is partly due to the “fantasy” that wealthy lifestyles in the West is fuelling climate change. 76 Ross Clark. “ What the rise of the middle class reveals about the global poverty myth,” Spectator, October 3, 2018.

It is rather significant that the UK aviation industry seems to have nodded along with the idea that some passengers are going to be priced out of the air The Daily Mail published an article by Clark titled “My inconvenient truth: Ross Clark accepts that the planet IS warming. But in a new book he challenges the consensus and argues that the hysteria and doom-mongering that now surround any debate risk doing more harm than climate change ever could”. 21 Ross Clark. “ My inconvenient truth: Ross Clark accepts that the planet IS warming.
