Description
Ian Plimer argues that human emissions of carbon dioxide do not drive global warming, and instead points to a lack of scientific consensus and ignored alternative explanations. He also criticises the rapid transition to renewable energy sources, which he believes has led to economic hardship and social disruption.
The author contends that governments' pursuit of "net zero" targets has resulted in significant costs, including high electricity prices, blackouts, and even deaths. Plimer claims that this agenda is driven by ideology rather than science, and that it comes at the expense of human well-being and economic stability.
