That minister now works, you know, in the green industries, I'm told. And I think that the reason why this happened is because a lot of people are afraid of being attacked, of cancellation, of going against the grain. This was a way for us to say, we're showing global leadership.
There's this thing that a lot of politicians like to have, you know, walking on stage, I'm at these conferences, global leadership, we signed this thing, we were the first to do it. And I think that that's how we ended up there.

That's 2019. I think it's middle of 2019. Okay. So I've been an MP for two years and I'm already seeing quite a lot of what I call bad science, bad faith arguments to deal with climate change. And I know that conservatives love the environment. You know, of course, that's what we want to conserve amongst other things. We want to keep things as they are.

We want to leave a next generation inheritance. Let's give something to our children. So there's fertile soil here. But the net zero idea is bad because there is no plan. It's just an announcement. So we say we're going to do this thing and then we start working it out later. This is one of the things that I want to stop. Conservative Party is under new leadership.

We're not just going to say things and figure it out later. We will figure it out. And then when we know how to do it, we can say it. But the why it happened, that failure. Fear of cancellation, that fear of going against the grain is a more fundamental problem. People are so afraid of challenging bad orthodoxies. There is a terror of being heterodox. And I think that I am on one level an outlier.

You know how you describe yourself as being extreme on this? Well, for me, it is an outlier when it comes to Telling the truth and challenging orthodoxies and nothing will stop me from saying it.

And I hate that. We have to tell the truth. And you've gone through this thing. where you say something and a lot of people agree with you, but they're all afraid of speaking out. People are afraid of being labeled. They're afraid of being called climate change skeptics. They're not able to speak up for themselves. And so they stay quiet. And that's how it happens.
