Britain is trailing 25 years behind its net zero climate target of 2050, a former boss of BP has warned as he stressed the need to “pick up the pace”.
The stark assessment was made by Lord Browne of Madingley at Westminster as he urged the accelerated rollout of initiatives to reach the environmental goal, aimed at tackling global warming.
The independent crossbencher, who is chairman of BeyondNetZero, which invests in climate solutions, also criticised as “counterproductive” the previous Tory government for weakening measures designed to help the UK reach net zero, including delaying the ban on new petrol and diesel cars.
Harry Wilkinson from Net Zero Watch says Energy Secretary Ed Miliband’s climate change ideas could cost each household £300k from now until 2050, as the UN warns global warming will be ‘twice as bad’ as predicted.
“What Net Zero has become is a massive Green boondoggle!”

Suddenly, over recent years, the new poison, CO2, is the new bogey man. Most living things exhale CO2 and plants require it to grow and produce oxygen. CO2 has been part of this planet since life began and now it's toxic?
What next? A tax on breathing!
china are building 200 new coal power stations in 2 years and we got rid of all are,s is china running thiis show and payed are MP,s so they take all the industry ..it looks that way to me
Someone is making a lot of money on this nonsense and there are still the same problems so stop giving money away to non solutions.
Top job Harry
When you have an international organisation like the corrupt UN that actually thinks that global warming is a thing it’s time to scrap that organisation fossil fuels have been the saviour of the people on this planet oh and co2 is not a bad thing no co2 all plant life dies ergo everything else dies there are only 400 ppm of co2 in the atmosphere and the dearth of co2 is 150 ppm which is actually too close for comfort
The fact is that the UK has not reduced emmission, its simply exported them and our jobs to China and India. Emmissions from imports dont count to UK targets.
To add 1 part per million of CO2 ito the atmosphere you would have to emit 2.3 billion tonnes of CO2. The UK emitted 384 million tonnes of CO2 in 2023. a fraction of 1 PPM!! The UK stopping emission will have ZERO impact on atmospheric CO2 content in PPM ZERO. Meanwhile China added 4 ppm (114. billion tonnes) in 2022.
Bit cold this summer, wasn't it? Oh, sorry, that was weather, not climate. Silly me.
The UN is the scourge of the planet, Gutierrez is qualified in nothing! He is nothing more than a duff snake oil salesman! The UN is throwing money around on "Net Zero" projects that only make money for those who build! "Net Zero" is a fallacy, an unachievable goal! as humans do not understand how the planet behaves! It is a living moving object that is constantly on the move (albeit very slowly)! It alone, produces far more CO2 and other gases, humans consider pollutants, than man has ever done & it is constantly doing so! just to let you know the current level of CO2 at 420ppm is very close to the very bottom of the scale of known levels of CO2. The millennia average is over 2500ppm with known highs over 8000ppm! Humans regularly experience this higher level when in enclosed areas of mass gatherings (pop concerts etc.). CO2 is the life breath to all plants and this is demonstrated by farmers adding it to their crops to produce bigger better healthier crops with less fertilizers & chemicals!
I'll tell you what we get for 7 trillion quid. Nothing.
Biggest scam since covid
If you don't believe it just check the world is more greener than 40 years ago in fact is up to 13% greener
We are actually not very green. Think about it. Most of what we use is made in China. Our recycling is sent abroad to be burnt ir left in the ocean. Masses of food is imported unnecessarily. But oh we are so good and the government uses our money to look net zero fantastic. All a load of smoke and mirrors!
Climate change is a scam to make loads of money for a small number of rich people.
Wow
There is not a climate crisis.
Net zero is a WEF scam.
Co2 is an heavier than air gas. So, are we knee- deep in carbon dioxide? 😮😉
Its all based on the LIE of RCP 8.5
Boondoggle 🤣🤣🤣 that’s a phase I’ve never heard of before sounds like someone from Harry Potter films 🤣
You vill eat zee bugs
All the IPCC projections about the climate have proven to be correct, stop lying.
What the IPCC have not been accurate with is that all their projections for the future climate ( not predictions ) have happened ahead of what was foreseen.
The IPCC also made a computer model with 4 possible outcomes depending on what action was taken on climate change. Currently we are actually worse than the worst possible scenario.
It's time they stopped committing arson then isn't it
It will not make any difference. It really about ripping off the man in the street
If it was true then wars would be stopped not encouraged
Check the subsidies fossil fuels companies receive yearly from government's. Trillions is given from taxpayer's money, then bp, shell ect announce tens of billions in profit. Countless methane leaks from wells that haven't been sealed, unbelievable environmental damage is happening because of Fossil fuel extraction, refining, transportation and usage of the one use fuel. Extraction of oil, coal and gas is on a scale we cannot imagine, lithium mining is 0.0001% of the fossil fuels. Renewable energy and battery storage is not the answer to our energy needs, but it is definitely the lesser of two evils. Excluding the blades, wind turbines can be recycled, solar panels have materials that can be reused, batteries elements can also be broken down and used again. Example, turbine generators mechanisms has all reusable parts, copper, iron ect. Solar panels have an aluminium frame and a glass cover that can be stripped off and used again. Batteries can be used in a different application, EV batteries can be used as mass storage packs as once they drop to 80% of it's capacity they are less functional in a car, and they can be broken down with 90%+ of the minerals can be reused. Yes netzero is insane, if they cared about the environment they would put solar and storage on every house, 99% of pitched roof homes could have a system that could generate 110% of annual usage. Orientation is a hurdle every property gets light on it's roof at some point of the day. I believe 20 million homes in the UK could have a 5kw solar system and a 10kwh battery, average annual generation would dwarf the solar farms being built, and 20 million 10kwh batteries could store more energy.
The UN is just being open about their goals and aspirations in which the West remains neither Democratic, free or economically viable.
What happened to global warming? You know its a scam when they keep rebounding it. Its just communism dressed as environmental issues.
