Tory shadow energy minister claims 2050 net zero goal ‘not based on science’ | Conservatives

Conservative Party’s Energy Party spokesman attacked the main climate scientists as a bias. Paris Climate Agreement.

Andrew Boy, Minister of Shadow, on behalf of the Energy, told the Guardian that the aim of reaching the emissions of clear greenhouse gas by 2050 – was transferred to the law by the Teresa May – was “arbitrary” and “not dependent on science.”

He also pointed out that the participation of the United Kingdom in 2015 Climate Agreement Paris He was awake to review the party’s ongoing review of the main policies. The only country that withdrew from the agreement is the United States twice, Under Donald Trump.

Bawi said: “We are not climatic evils, and while we believe in reaching zero zero, what we should not do is to stumble from arbitrary goals such as the date of 2050, which was simply prepared because it was a good end point as a date.

However, the reason may, as prime minister, may Set 2050 as a date – Besides other developed countries in the world – it was in line with scientific advice regarding meeting the goal of the Paris Agreement of high temperature at a rise and preferably to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre -industrial levels, or certainly less than 2c, by 2050.

the International government plate on climate change (IPCC), the body of leading climate scientists, It is stipulated in its historical assessments Among the world’s knowledge of climate sciences – which is the gold standard for research, although it is seen as very conservative by some scientists – the need for global emissions to Reaching zero zero by the middle of the century In order for you to have more chance to reduce temperature to 1.5 ° C.

“From a scientific point of view, Safar Safar is very important. The country like the UK must reach it early, not later,” said Frederick Otto, climate scientist and senior lecturer at the Grantham Institute at the Imperial College College London.

“They are biased at their global vision, which is that we need to reduce climate emissions with a specific arbitrary date. This does not lead to the comprehensive economic luxury of this country,” Bowie said:

He added: “There are quite a few scientists who say that we do not need to reach zero by 2050.” Boy and his office were unable to name these scholars when pressed.

In 2021, the last government of the Conservative Party Global effort For advanced countries to register in Safar by 2050 Hosting the United Climate COP26 Climate Summit In Glasgow.

Bawi said: “[There is] There is no way to reach this [net zero by 2050 target] Without making ourselves poore more or without being more dependent on foreign interests to meet our energy needs. So what we have to do is to move away and develop an energy strategy that allows us to completely remove carbon, but to do this in a way that leads to the prosperity of the country, our energy and our national security, and this is the position in which we find ourselves. “

Recent research conducted by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has shown that the climate crisis will address Improving instead of obstructing Economic growth. Other studies, Return to the 2006 Stern review Encouraged by the UK government, it also found a strong economic basis for global heating processing, which is on the right path of catastrophic levels unless global emissions are reduced.

The Conservative Party conducts a policy review, which will include zero zero and energy policy. Bowie is the Acting Minister of Energy in the shadow while Claire Coutinho, who was the energy security and zero -zero under Rishi Sonak, was on maternity leave.

Boy said the review was not complete, but Badnouch “was skeptical about the commitment of net zero by 2050 for some time,” so that although a net number of kind can be kept, it will not be for the year 2050.

“IPCC consists of the most prominent climate scientists in the world from 195 member states. To collect their assessments on the health of our planet, a process that goes beyond the sulfate that indicates that there is a great predecessor to search for a confrontation for the increasing operation of tightening that indicates that there is evidence of his assumption of power. The climate is one of the best minds of the world,” said Mike Child’s, President of Science, Politics and Research on Earth’s Friends.
