"Today’s temperatures surpass the record of 35.6 degrees set in 1976. 1000 schools closed, rail travel not recommended, perishing farm crops. And it’s only June, looks like net zero isn’t working. Is it even achievable? " Net Zero isn’t a switch that you turn on, and everything goes back to pre industrial levels straight away. It’s a process that will take time. | |||

"Net zero is irrelevant to the climate as the UK accounts for less than 1% of global emissions." Apart from us kicking starting the Industrial Revolution, which has led us to this point. But we’re only contributing 1% now, so it’s ok? 🤦🏻♂️ | |||

"Net zero is irrelevant to the climate as the UK accounts for less than 1% of global emissions." And that brilliant statement sums up the whole farce. Of course there's a climate crisis but what the UK does about it makes next to no difference. Ballocks to Milliband and his ramblings! | |||

In other words, natural occurrences. The rapid (key word) industrialisation of the world is the main contributor to climate change. We need to make some attempt to try and slow down or even halt the rapid change we are seeing. Net zero is the only game in town at the moment.

"The sticky point that is net zero, is it's not a measure of success, in my opinion it’s a shady accounting scheme. Countries can continue spewing out CO2 and then claim they are “net zero” because they have counted up all there offsets and any future removals, if's but's and maybe's. Saying this is a start or an answer is in my opinion providing countries like China a legitimate option to continue expanding coal generation, which they are doing very well at, while the net zero ambassadors pedestal them for their great efforts. If the UK populations are happy we do the same accounting, fair enough, lets get building. " Independent organisations are monitoring countries net zero targets. Any countries claims can be assessed, verified and called out if necessary. | |||

These heatwaves are predicted to be more regular and intense."Nuclear reactors can run during heatwaves if they are using ocean water to cool instead of river water. And either way, the number of days you aren't generating in a nuclear power plant is not even close to days you miss generating electricity with wind or solar, which also should co-exist with nuclear power plants. "Green" politicians like Zack Polanski being against Nuclear energy is a clear indicator that they don't give a fuck about the environment and are most probably funded indirectly by Russia. | |||

"Net zero is irrelevant to the climate as the UK accounts for less than 1% of global emissions. Apart from us kicking starting the Industrial Revolution, which has led us to this point. But we’re only contributing 1% now, so it’s ok? 🤦🏻♂️ We don't have a time machine to go back and decide not to start the industrial revolution. We are talking about now and as a country which contributes 1% to global emissions whatever we do will make no difference unless we decide to increase emissions which I'm pretty sure isn't being considered." Please don’t talk sense on this matter, Call Me Flik, as that really won’t help matters. | |||

"If this weather is drifting north towards us from continental Europe and the rest of the world, does that not mean we’re just getting it regardless of any net zero ambitions? " . All of the global weather symptoms/climate are interconnected, so there's no escape from the current global heating, until its causes are avoided. The majority of the additional heat is locked in the oceans and will potentially reach everywhere. North/south is somewhat irrelevant, when all weather systems are interconnected. | |||

"If this weather is drifting north towards us from continental Europe and the rest of the world, does that not mean we’re just getting it regardless of any net zero ambitions? " The UK's carbon footprint per capita is roughly 4.2 to 4.5 metric tonnes of CO₂ per person when measuring only direct territorial emissions. However, when including emissions from imported goods and services (consumption-based emissions), the average jumps to about 9.5 to 11 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent per person. | |||

Our emissions have reduced yes, only because we import half our food and energy. And we’ve cheated through use of carbon credits See above. So we pay in £’s through environmental taxes and other countries pay with their environment cunted | |||
