‘Better late than never’: The Telegraph admits climate policy disastrous for Britain
Allister Heath said Britain accounts for 0.8% of global carbon dioxide emissions and cannot meaningfully affect climate change, drawing praise from analysts.
- The Telegraph editor Allister Heath wrote that Britain's net zero climate policy is a 'despicable con' and 'futile gambit,' claiming the nation has 'crippled British industry' while accounting for only 0.8 per cent of global CO2 emissions.
- Critics trace the policy failure to the 2008 Climate Change Act, which passed the House of Commons with only five no votes. American Lands Council Myron Ebell called Heath's assessment 'almost 20 years too late,' arguing costs were predictable from the outset.
- Welcoming the admission as 'better late than never,' Sterling Burnett of The Heartland Institute called 'Green colonialist actions' designed to control future weather an 'inane, quixotic quest' that wasted resources better spent on hunger and disease.
- Constructive Tomorrow Craig Rucker praised Heath for getting it right about the 'radical Green fantasy' that has 'devastated industry' and 'raised costs' while achieving nothing for the climate, calling the admission refreshingly honest.
- Analysts signal a broader shift toward the 'reality' that humans are powerless to control climate change, with experts emphasizing the Earth abides regardless of human action, rendering Britain's sacrifice ineffective on global emissions.

The Telegraph The UK Telegraph abandons Net Zero: “we were fooled” This feels like a major step forward in the newspaper debate. Allister Heath is Editor of The Sunday Telegraph, and he unleashes beautifully on the whole vainglorious, pointless self sabotage that is Net Zero.
