As the wheels continue to fall off the COP-69, suck it and see wagon, I note that Judge Sophie Buckley has told climate policy chiefs to show why they think reaching net zero carbon emissions will cost only 1 per cent of GDP.
The Judge has said: ‘There is an extremely strong public interest in enabling scrutiny of the data, models and calculations which underpin the CCC’s conclusion that the net zero target could be met at an annual resource cost of up to 1-2 per cent of GDP.
‘Any errors in the calculations that led to the CCC’s conclusions, which, in turn, led to the legislative change, have the potential to have a very significant impact on the lives and finances of large numbers of people, on the spending of large sums of public money, and on the policies of the UK Government over the next 30 years.’
