IMO carbon neutral will not happen this century. There’s no point our tiny low emissions country becoming carbon neutral when China, India and USA continue to pollute the skies.If we accept that the scientists are right and climate change is a thing, then carbon neutral becomes the priority and is non-negotiable.
I know this will be a can of worms, but climate change is a bad thing and should be top of our agenda. We can’t afford to be wrong and short term issues shouldn’t get in the way.
