He argued that efforts to decarbonise the economy had contributed to such events, stating: “We invest in more and more intermittent forms of energy such as wind and solar while the provision of energy storage lags well behind, resulting in several close shaves recently as the wind dropped and the sun went down.” In a Telegraph comment piece titled, “Myopic politicians are wilfully blind to the truth about green energy”, Clark wrote: 42 Ross Clark. “ Myopic politicians are wilfully blind to the truth about green energy”, Telegraph, January 1, 2022.

A Broom Cupboard of One’s Own: The housing crisis and how to solve it by boosting home-ownership, Harriman House,2012 Phew! The dangers of global warming are receding. Admittedly that is not how most news sources are reporting the publication of the latest IPCC report this morning. But it is the logical conclusion of reading coverage of the issue over the past decade.”In a Spectator Australia article titled “Do we really need a GCSE focused on saving the planet?”, Clark wrote that the new GCSE in natural history is likely to be “yet another fashionable, soft subject which is designed to indoctrinate rather than educate”. 41 Ross Clark. “ Do we really need a GCSE focused on saving the planet?”, Spectator Australia.

Not Zero: How an Irrational Target Will Impoverish You, Help China (and Won’t Even Save the Planet): by Ross Clark (1986) The article concludedthat, “we are still a long way from efficient CCS, but there is nothing to say that it can’t outflank technologies such as hydrogen and battery storage, to become a large part of a transition to zero carbon. So, no, it is not a foregone conclusion that oil companies will be brought down and their assets stranded – even if Greenpeace would very much like them tobe.” Ross Clark (born 12 September 1966) is a British journalist and author whose work has appeared in The Spectator, The Times and other publications. [1] He is the author of several books, including How to Label a Goat: the silly Rules and Regulations that are strangling Britain and The Great Before, a novel which satirised the pessimism of the Green movement. [2] He is a frequent critic of British government policy, especially on its interventions in the housing market.

Achieving the target is predicated on the rapid development of technologies that are either non-existent, highly speculative or untested. Clark shows that efforts to achieve the target will inevitably result in a huge hit to living standards, which will clobber the poorest hardest, and gift a massive geopolitical advantage to hostile superpowers such as China and Russia. The unrealistic and rigid timetable it imposes could also result in our committing to technologies which turn out to be ineffective, all while distracting ourselves from the far more important objective of adaptation.
