I've no idea where you got this from and have no way of checking - the official UK government website is GOV.UK (not uk.gov) and the policy is "net zero" (not "absolute zero"). This looks like somebody's interpretation of the policy and it is not very coherently written.
The policy is wide-ranging and ambitious, I agree, and will involve some effort and changes to established habits (shock, horror). Given that the Prime Minister and other government ministers seem more concerned with their own short-term survival than that of the planet, steps towards achieving the goal have thus far been timid and limited in effect.
@WalterF This is clearly fake. Please don’t spread nonsense! It is not government policy but an extract from a research report (not a government one) from about four years ago, deliberately setting out a possible way to "absolute zero".
To present it as official policy is disingenuous. In other words, a lie.
@WalterF It was difficult enough to find 🙄 This is not an official policy document or a statement of government goals. It was produced by an independent research group and so far as I can see was intended to highlight how difficult achieving net zero will be with the current level of government (in)action and apathy.
@Adeptlinguist @SunshineGirl Sadist Khan appears to be an exquisite liar, as he chugs full steam ahead towards crippling the public with his ridiculous ULEZ schemes. Yet no-one is stopping him, government or other.
Please reserve your accusations of "liar" to those who deserve them, not to others who are rightfully worried about the continuing overreach of those who lord it over us
@SunshineGirl So independent research groups are your targets too? In other words, anyone who disputes the 24/7 wall of media propaganda must be wrong.
@WalterF I believe his name is Sadiq Khan. And I think you will find that ULEZ is a Conservative policy, that Grant Shapps forced Khan to adopt as a condition for continuing to support TfL. The letter from Shapps is easy to find on the net.
Seems that you have only the most casual of relationships to the facts!
@WalterF If you describe a non-government document as a "government document" that is an untrue statement. A common term for people who make untrue statements is "liar".
@Adeptlinguist Oh you are so sensitive! So to say that the universally enforced covid injections are insufficiently tested gene therapy with massive side effects and death rates, cunningly concealed by the money-making "stakeholders" is also a lie, in your book?
Then I happily accept your label of "liar". (And no doubt, of bioterrorist, granny-murderer and nazi as well.)
@WalterF Expecting someone not to spread untruths is not sensitive. It is sensible and reasonable. Anyway, I looked at your profile and you're beyond hope.
You could add antipathy to Gates as the man who has done the most harm to the health of the world's population.
And total mistrust of the WEF, with its communist thug-like leader Ted Ross, who expects to be in a position to unilaterally declare pandemics when he wants, and dictate lockdowns, masking, injections worldwide with NO RECOURSE FOR ANYONE. (That will happen next May, in case you weren't aware.)
@Adeptlinguist And to think that, on top of all that, I actually consider RFK Jr to be a sensible, realistic politician, whose book The Real Antony Fauci (several hundred pages, practically every sentence referenced in the footnotes) to be a true work of scholarship - I mean, that really shows how dumb a guy like me can be!
Me, plus many millions of others whose eyes are gradually opening to the truths behind the murderous authoritarian onslaught on the ordinary citizen.
I hope that you too will wake up out of your media-fuelled stupor.
@Adeptlinguist I've had a bad cold before over the decades. But never had a nasty flu where they told people to stay at home without treatment until they needed hospital, where they were ventilated to death. I suppose that strange reasoning could be just that the hospitals needed the cash - tens of thousands of dollars for every recorded " covid death".
Thanks for your concern, but I have horse paste and medicines like that (ivermectin, always recognised as a powerful medicine, has now been validated for covid treatment - yet another conspiracy theory proved right).
Trouble is, as the CDC et al have admitted, you, vaccinated to the hilt, are in no way protected any longer (if you ever were) against the latest variants they are fearmongering over.
Get that mask back on! Two, if you're still able to breathe.
@WalterF My son is a doctor. He saw many people like you die agonising deaths. I hope it doesn't come to that for you. But you are beyond reason so I guess you don't care.
@Adeptlinguist No worries on my part. Good health, a good diet, exercise, an untainted, efficient immune system, no altered genes.
Very sorry about those who died of covid. In the UK, the medical establishment didn't do a great job saving them. We had nurses filming themselves dancing in the corridors of empty hospitals, despite the panicky media reporting.
By the way, in March 2020 we in this house turned off our TV for good. The reporting was just so over the top. We saw through it early.
