We Never Talk About the Costs of Not Tackling Climate Change, Says Emma Pinchbeck. Don’t Make Me Laugh – It’s All We Ever Hear About

Last weekend’s episode of BBC One’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg featured an interview with newly-appointed CEO of the U.K.’s Climate Change Committee (CCC), Emma Pinchbeck. Among the softball questions fielded by the country’s chief climate technocrat was one that touched on the increasingly controversial matter of the costs of Net Zero. “I think we talk a lot about the costs of tackling climate change,” claimed Pinchbeck. “What we have rarely talked about… is the costs of not tackling climate change.” This is news to me.

Indeed, it may also well be news to the countless others who have switch off the BBC for its constant political messaging about climate change, among other fashionable causes. Many people from across the political spectrum have begun to find the de facto state broadcaster simply overbearing. And countless programmes and news items attest to the fact the BBC has taken it upon itself to lead the public towards a very particular understanding of climate, based around the idea of a ‘climate crisis’, which will be catastrophic and thus hugely expensive if not confronted. And it has done so in large part by excluding from its transmissions any view that suggests a cost-benefit analysis on the Net Zero agenda ought to have been done before it was advanced.
