Right and left interpret the British climate bill completely differently
Great Britain's goal of net zero emissions will cost the country around 100 billion pounds by 2050. The forecast was given on the bad day by the government's climate advisor CCC.
In the more conservative The Telegraph, the focus is on the high cost putting pressure on already strained household finances. Critics in the right-wing opposition complain that climate work has gone too far.
- A slap in the face to families struggling with the cost of living, says the shadow energy minister Claire Coutinho from the Tory party.
She accuses the energy minister Ed Miliband of throwing money at something "that only makes life harder for people".
In the more liberal The Guardian, the tone is different. The price tag for achieving net zero emissions is lower than a single major oil spill of the Ukraine or Iran type.
- A very significant message, Miliband thinks.
The announcement proves that those who oppose the line on net zero emissions are ready to abandon the pursuit of energy security, lower bills and protecting the next generation, the minister believes.
