Net Zero Must Go - Matt Ridley

In this episode of TRIGGERnometry, Lord Matt Ridley discusses the corruption of science through the lens of the Covid lab leak theory and climate change. Ridley asserts that a cover-up occurred regarding the origins of Covid-19, implicating scientists and institutions motivated by protecting funding and reputations, and argues that this has damaged public trust in science. Shifting to climate change, Ridley challenges the consensus narrative, stating that while warming is occurring, claims of unprecedented speed and increasing extreme weather are unsupported by data, and he advocates for adapting to climate change and investing in future energy technologies rather than adhering to strict net-zero deadlines.
