You can ‘fly off on holidays and eat steak’ under net zero, says top climate adviser
Speaking as he leaves the role after six years, Chris Stark, the chief executive of the climate change committee, suggested he and others in the green sector had pushed too hard the idea that the shift required a radical transformation.
Instead people’s lives would not be that different in 2050, the target date for ending the UK’s contribution to climate change by cutting emissions to zero overall...
But he also said: “I’m not handing criticism out to any one party, I think there is a general retreat from owning this stuff on net zero.”

For politicians and bureaucrats a chair is seldom withdrawn before the music stops. It may be covered in a different coloured silk, and it may be over there rather here, but patronage still works and favoured bottoms will still have a seat.
And because no chair is removed there is no need to go back and explain why the chair was removed. Explain why so many chairs are added, perhaps.

DJ - unfortunately you are right, chairs are added in this game.
