UK's Net Zero consensus EXPLODES
from Mallen Baker: Faultlines · host Mallen Baker
The Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch has announced an end to her party's support for the previously consensus climate change policy target of net zero by 2050. In a speech that has created shockwaves through the UK parliamentary system, she said that the target was impossible to achieve, and policy debate would be better served by being realistic about the facts. In this video, we look at what has been said - and I talk about why, regardless of your political affiliation, or personal position on speed of climate action - this is probably a good thing. Let's discuss.
