Doing nothing about climate change is not an option, if you are able to take on board the points in Chris's post.
It is not a choice between economic growth with coal-fired power stations or adhering to net zero. As we've seen with the current situation in Europe, high temperatures result in lower productivity and the need to spend more and more on more resilient infrastructure. The fewer heatwaves we can avoid in the future, the better. That requires a net zero approach and as a rich country, we should be able to afford it.
