He seems to have forgotten that 20 years ago, when Blair was PM, the Sustainable Development Commission reported to him that people *would* make changes in consumption patterns if leadership was provided by society’s leaders in politics & business

A central charges from Blair is that people are:
“being asked to make financial sacrifices and changes in lifestyle when they know their impact on global emissions is minimal”
But this misses the most important thing – in what political & social context are they making ‘sacrifices’?

One of the charges against net zero is the ‘inconvenient truth’ that it’s expensive
Yet it is widely acknowledged that his proposed solution – CCS and nuclear – are more expensive than the renewables being deployed. Far from failing, they are growing. Fast

For reference Tony, here’s a chart of how solar, wind et al are doing. I bet loads of companies and stockmarkets would like to fail this badly
And wind and solar will continue to expand rapidly
By contrast IEA etc are constantly having to revise down how much CCS will be deployed
