to Paul Homewood 5.1.22

Paul,  Please don't be too bothered by net zero or, even climate change.  Net zero means that every gram of greenhouse gases we emit must be soaked up.  This is misleading, deceptive and, anyway impossible to achieve.  Gross zero is also impractical and impossible to get anywhere near zero!

Going green on a green planet is sensible for that very reason.  Living as though our very useful fossil fuels will never become exhausted is foolish.  Cutting back on them as much as possible is sensible.  I have always thought that in order to leave the planet in better shape for my descendants.  I want to be a good ancestor.

Therefore, dear Paul, why do you want us all to rip into them as if there is no tomorrow?  Tim
