Closed Give the UK people a Referendum on Net Zero

Closed on

The UK Government to hold a Referendum on the UK aiming for Net Zero, with the option to Continue (for), or Stop (against) aiming for Net Zero.

The Climate Change Committee (CCC) has said that reaching net zero would require net investments of £1.4 trillion by 2050.

This is a huge undertaking and massive investment for something the public hasn't directly voted on.

The UK's input to C02 is relatively small, and when facing massive political upheaval worldwide including potential wars, we believe any benefit of Net Zero is outweighed by the costs of achieving this.
