The narrative is as simple as this.

The planet is in imminent danger.

because of climate change.

If we don't deal with our carbon emissions right now, then by 20, it depends who you are, 2030, 2035, 2050, but within our lifetimes, certainly within our children's lifetimes, we're all gonna die, the planet's gonna burn, and the only way to deal with that is to immediately transition to renewable energy, get to net zero so that we're not producing more carbon than we are getting rid of,

And whatever it takes to achieve that.

It depends how you ask the question.

Because if you say to people, how much are you willing to spend?

They'll say 10 pounds.

But if you say to them, look, your energy bills have gone up and it's because of the war in Ukraine.

We won't tell you about the green levies and all this other stuff.

And by, oh, green levies, yeah, it's to save the planet.

People are actually, a lot of people are on board with that because the money, they don't feel that the money is being taken out of their pocket.

That connection hasn't been made in many people's minds.

And British blokes are not getting the job because of it.

What are the policy implications of what you're saying, Matt?

If you were the chief scientific advisor or chief advisor to blah, blah, blah, would you go full Trump, drill, baby drill, no net zero, scrap all of that stuff?

Should we be trying to reduce carbon emissions at all?
