Sky News host Peta Credlin says “hardly a day goes by without some new announcement on drastic measures to cope with climate change” after “one of the biggest fossil fuel companies, BP, said it would be carbon neutral by 2050”. On Thursday the oil giant announced it would reach the target by reducing carbon levels in its fossil fuel businesses.
Ms Credlin added “this comes at the same time too, as the Mayor of Paris plans to ban all petrol and diesel cars from the French capital by 2025 – a mere four years away”.
“The costs of reducing emissions are always to be borne by other people – or to be put off, until you're safely out of office and off making gizillions as most of these left wing leaders do – Blair, Clinton, Obama, just to name a few”.
“So let's be clear: I support reducing emissions, and I'm all in favour of renewable energy and electric cars, provided they work as well as their fossil fuel alternatives and there are no taxpayer subsidies,” she said.
“What I'm dead-set against is putting emissions reduction ahead of building prosperity. And forcing poorer people to subsidise the green conscience of wealthy people, by paying their taxes towards wind and solar power, and electric cars, that are neither practical nor economic”.
“We have to accept that reducing emissions has costs, often heavy costs”.
