One of the many emergent issues with the phrase 'net zero' is that it became a proxy phrase for 'the politics of climate policies', and not 'stopping the heating of the atmosphere and oceans so that we don't fucking die'
Imagine a debate about "will Labour stick with or abandon cancer prevention"

Utterly bizarre that at no point does this article define net zero, or explain that it is, according to the laws of physics, the only way to halt climate change www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

We’ve been living car-free for 21 months now. Swiss infrastructures really support it. I also lived many years in Sydney car-free. Do I miss having a car? Some days, absolutely. If I had a car, would I be 100 times lazier and unnecessarily reliant on it? Yeah.
