Isn’t it time “business leaders” started to take our grandchildren’s lives seriously, and think about what they can contribute to achieving net-zero?

A commentary by an adjunct professor at UBC, and a past member of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the U.K. Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution. He lives in Victoria.

It is remarkable that the commentary makes no mention of the reason why what he describes as a “fantasy” is actually an imperative: the inconvenient truth of climate change. Because of the time effects involved, it will inevitably get worse. The possibility of limiting average temperatures rise to 1.5 C has already gone. “Net-zero” is about trying to limit the severity of the disaster we leave behind us.
