About this listen

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?

Ross Clark argues that it is a terrible mistake, an impractical hostage to fortune which will have massive downsides. Achieving the target is predicated on the rapid development of technologies that are either non-existent, highly speculative or untested. Clark shows that efforts to achieve the target will inevitably result in a huge hit to living standards, which will clobber the poorest hardest, and gift a massive geopolitical advantage to hostile superpowers such as China and Russia. The unrealistic and rigid timetable it imposes could also result in our committing to technologies which turn out to be ineffective, all while distracting ourselves from the far more important objective of adaptation.

This hard-hitting polemic provides a timely critique of a potentially devastating political consensus which could hobble Britain's economy, cost billions and not even be effective.

Very comprehensive book which questions the Net Zero commitments the UK government have made with no idea of how it will be achieved. Refreshing to read the counter arguments which media suppress so much these days.

Excellent book which questions the narrative

Not Zero gave excellent information with no emotional manipulation to help you make decisive decision.
The information exposed the narrative which climate alarmist has been using to manipulate and deceive public opinion.

Well researched and balanced discussion on the impacts of unfettered net zero policy. A pleasant change from the pseudo cultist opinions proffered as news.

Highly recommended and a great eye opener

Excellent balanced discussion

The arguments that the book presents come across as thoroughly thought through and paints a stark picture of the alarmism causing so much damage to our societies. It is truly scary how irrational our leaders seem to be. Everybody should listen to this book, to form a more nuanced perspective on climate change. Narration was top notch as well!

Incredibly thoughtful and well argued.

Well read, some good details in the thought process. Enjoyed the counter argument to the main stream bull crap..

A good argument for a rethink.

I would suggest this book should be in the curriculum. There is no doubt about the warming world, there is doubt as to how we tackle the potential effects of this. I enjoyed this book and I have learned alot. We all need to be informed, but informed in a balanced manner, much like how this book is written.

Keep an open mind

Have listened to this book front to back twice. Brilliantly narrated - the narrator even does the voice impressions when quoting people like Boris Johnson.

A brilliant breakdown of the challenges and therefore ridiculous decision to write net zero into UK law. Counteracts the nonsense that wind and solar is cheaper than gas and perfectly explains why aviation, shipping, transport and the energy sector will take years and cost fortunes to decarbonise…..if we even manage to implement or invent the tech needed to deliver the transition.

Should serve as a wake up call to climate activists who are solely thinking about the issue of climate in isolation and have very little understanding of economics, know nothing about engineering and don’t understand basic scientific principles. But sadly it won’t.

Brilliant informative book with great narration

This is a good book because it very clearly lays out exactly why Net Zero is being pursued in an utterly counter productive manner by lazy minded politicians, who need to be fired with immediate effect.

I loved it for its eloquence, I hated it because it shines a light on just what a hill sane, thinking people need to climb to overcome blind, dogmatic, lazy minded zealotry…and idiot politicians.

Read it. Tell your friends to read it.

A welcome dose of scientific reasoning, evidence-based realism, and clear thinking to a topic more often dominated by hyperbole, doomsaying, and virtue-signalling.

A must if you genuinely care about the environment

Required reading for every teacher; follow the evidence, wherever it leads. Not Zero, brilliant work.
