The utterly shameless & widely covered "report" out today, claiming net zero will "cost" £9tn is based on: * Assuming free fossil-fuel energy, free petrol cars, free gas boilers, free gas power plants etc AND * Including climate damages in the "cost" of net zero I kid you not, it is that stupid

Right-wing media usually suggests the world is unstable and out of control, even where it isn't, usually blaming an out-group. Where you have vulnerable people suffering from climate chaos, and often displaced, and increasing inequality, it's not going to point the finger at friends of its owner.
