Net Zero intolerance: The Tory faction seeking a “climate referendum”
Season 1
Episode 928
Published 2 years, 11 months ago
Description
The Net Zero Scrutiny Group shares ties with the likes of the late Nigel Lawson and his network of “climate deniers”. They like fracking and have tried to link the cost-of-living crisis to the government’s net zero goals. But exactly who are they? What do they stand for? And who funds them? Andrew Harrison is joined by Sam Alvis, head of economy at The Green Alliance, to unpack exactly that.
- “They are no longer denying that climate change is a thing, but what they are saying is that actually the cost of it is much more of an issue.”
- “Often with these groups, and particularly with the net zero group, it's easier to understand what they don't like; the one thing we know they do like is fracking.”
- “It’s murky, we don’t really know where the money comes from to support the Net Zero Scrutiny Group.”
