Welcome back, Tony Blair. New Reporter's part of sees them joining the growing lists who argue that net zero is doomed. Net zero will be doomed, whether we do anything about it or not. No one's going to jail if they don't reach net zero, of course, it's just that we can avoid a lot of needles damage along the way by recognizing its early and baling, so our economies can be put back on some sort of level footing. Ironically, there's growing anger and Spain over last week's power blackout, with a lot of people blaming the renewable aspect of their supply chain. A Spain is over fifty percent renewable, by the way, which is high for Europe, their argument being the higher the reliance on renewables, the more fragilely grid is. Here. Farmers are furious once again over the new settings for the ets. We've gone from fifty percent to fifty one percent reductions only because Paris says each year you need to adjust up, so they adjusted the least they could, but they still acquiesced to what was signed up years ago, when net zero was a bullish theory, not an economy sapping reality. The Climate Commission the other day put new targets for credits and pricing on the carbon auctions. They were completely different to last year's in a we make it up because we don't really know what's going on kind of way. We've stumbled and bumbled basically our way through all of this, hurting our living standards and to what end? Emissions are in fact down for New Zealand? Yah yas. Is the world any better? No, which is why Blair joins Bad Knock in calling it all out. The Reform Party are booming in no small way because they've called it all nonsense as well. So between Blair, Parage and Bad Knock that's a lot of cross political support to tip up an increasingly obvious dead end idea like me too under Council culture and all the other band wagons that got fashionable, and that zero is destined for the same end. Not that helping the planet isn't good or laudable, but what we didn't understand then but clearly do now is at what price? And are we prepared to pay it? And given the answers no, a few more Blair, Bad Knock and Farage type voices here wouldn't go amiss For more from the mic Asking Breakfast, listen live to news talks that'd be from six am weekdays, or follow the pot cast on iHeartRadio
