Net Zero and the Threat to Human Liberty

In this paper, former Conservative MP and minister Rt Hon Steve Baker FRSA shows that Net Zero relies on the same central-planning model that failed repeatedly in the 20th century and consistently produced social, economic and political breakdown. He argues this failure is inherent: no group of officials, however capable, can ever possess the knowledge needed to run a complex society and advances in information technology do nothing to change that reality.

As a result, enforcing Net Zero through state direction poses a direct and growing threat to peoples’ liberty in modern Britain.
