We have moral duty to show leadership

ARGUMENTS continue our response to the climate crisis.

- 

Net Zero is debated. Those who are optimistic about it are “crazily obsessed”. Is that true? Only “self-aggrandising politicians” are said to be in favour. A poll by YouGov last October showed that 94 per cent of MPs support Net Zero.

To apply insulting terms to such a majority of Parliamentarians, who give of their best for most of the time, is very dangerous.

If we so distrust current MPs we might succumb to any group who claim that “broken Britain can be easily fixed” with the flick of a fag and a swill of beer.

The UK is said to be too “puny” to have any influence in the world over the adoption of NZ so we shouldn't follow the policy ourselves! If as is suggested we should wait for the major nations to lead towards climate sense yet another of the reasons given for Brexit (global influence) has not materialised.
