Our electricity network hasn't anywhere remotely-near the capacity either to generate or deliver as electricity all the energy delivered presently as fossil fuels, nor have we remotely-near the capacity to generate even half of our present electricity carbon-free. Similarly, those that champion net zero as a way of breaking through barriers holding back effective action on the climate also work with the very best of intentions.

Alternatively, Britain will have to commit an economic suicide and all its energy hungry industries will have to be abandoned. The issue is that we know that 'fossil fuels must stay in the ground', subsidies must end, regulations enforced etc - however these are all difficult things to achieve. Today’s report makes over 300 recommendations for filling out policies over the next year, reflecting the scale of the task at hand as the Government moves from strategy to implementation.degrees of warming within the next few years; and every year of delay makes the impacts worse and the task harder. Growing billions of trees would consume vast amounts of water – in some places where people are already thirsty. But progress on climate and energy policies to shift to newer, cleaner technologies has in some ways slowed in recent years, for example, with the ban on onshore wind farms. That practice is then also reapplied in the pronunciation of derived terms, such as when the rifle caliber . Zero" is more commonly used in mathematics and science, whereas "cipher" is used only in a literary style.

This distinction is that "nought" is primarily used in a literal arithmetic sense, where the number 0 is straightforwardly meant, whereas "naught" is used in poetical and rhetorical senses, where "nothing" could equally well be substituted. Zero" and "cipher" are both names for the number 0, but the use of "cipher" for the number is rare and only used in very formal literary English today. This hard-hitting polemic provides a timely critique of a potentially devastating political consensus which could hobble Britain's economy, cost billions and not even be effective.

Mass tree planting, for bioenergy or as an attempt at offsetting, had been the latest attempt to stall cuts in fossil fuel use. On January 1, 2000, the BBC listed the noughties (derived from "nought" [10] a word used for zero in many English-speaking countries), as a potential moniker for the new decade. For their part, corporations should voluntarily desist from making these disingenuous claims to avoid the growing reputational damage involved and to reduce the risk of litigation that accompanies such misleading advertising.
