The realists do not want 'to take us back to 16th century'

CRITICS of any attempt to move quickly towards Net Zero insist that any environmental discussion should deal with “the real world”.

- 

They lambast those who notice the rapidity of climate change as “climate fanatics” divorced from this “real world”.

Apparently we should, unlike the Duke of Wellington against Napoleon, or the Churchill generation against the Nazis, wrap ourselves in the white flag and hide under the kitchen table until X ( Mr Musk?) comes to rescue us from future climate chaos.

It is suggested that neither as individuals nor as a nation should we strive to slow the lemming charge away from climate sense. Climate realists are not doom-scrollers. The boot is on the other foot as is shown by Reform leaders who insist that climate issues are “garbage”
