3 Sept 2025Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 734)

I do not think that is true. I genuinely do not think that is true, I have to say. I think that was a piece of information that has stuck with people.

Yes.

3 Sept 2025Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 734)

Earlier in the evidence session you were saying about information being selective, incomplete, misleading. To what end? What is the purpose behind that misinformation? What do the individuals who do that gain from it in your view or is it unintentional?

It sounds a bit conspiracy theorist.

Why? Why is that happening? Why do they do that? I wanted to come in also because you were talking earlier about journalists perhaps not being fully informed enough to be able to rebut some of the claims, particularly if you get somebody who is putting forward quite wild suggestions—that they do not have enough time to

The term “carbon budgets” has been used twice in the evidence that we have had, and you hate that phrase.

What would Rebecca have been better off using instead of “carbon budgets”?

3 Sept 2025Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 734)

So talking about the Climate Change Committee and the work that it has been involved in, and the phrase “carbon budgets”, I am intrigued to know, what are the alternatives? Net zero? You made the point that using net zero is the kiss of death on anything.

3 Sept 2025Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 734)

A comment on that. It feels like design by committee, and that lacks leadership. You could end up in a smorgasbord of indecision as everybody equally plumps for different options and it becomes stalling rather than enabling, empowering, and moving things on at speed.
