THE SOLUTION

---

Professor Myles is the Godfather of Net Zero.  In the last 3 years I have been attending is lectures on Net Zero and it finished in grand fashion on Tuesday 10th June with his finale, a solution to the puzzle

Myles suggests that the solution is to focus on who can afford to deliver net zero, how we can achive it without dictating how Britons live, and how we can design climate policy so that our trading partners see it as an opportunity rather than a hair-shirt-wearing contest

It is the fossil fuel industry that benefits most from the continued use of fossils fuels

The climate issue can be taken off the political agenda forever with a simple Act of Parliament running something like this "after 2050 you can't sell stuff in the UK that causes global warming. so, if you're selling stuff in the UK today that causes global warming, you have 25 years to stop that stuff from causing global warming - by capturing or recapturing all the carbon dioxide it generates and disposing of it permanently"

Capture and geological storage of one tonne of carbon dioxide for every tonne still generated from fossil sources, or Geological Net Zero, is the only durable way, short of a world wide ban, to stop fossil fuels from causing global warming.

Such a carbon takeback policy would add only a few pence to the cost of a litre of petrol by 2035.

The Solution is the only way we can reduce our Geological carbon waste to net zero. We need governments and the fossil fuel industries to buy into this. Initiatives like  Carbon Balance Initiative .
