This is why it drives me insane when the climate sector say things like ‘we should stop using net zero’. If you don’t opponents to change will continue to dictate what net zero means. So important to talk about it ALONGSIDE climate impacts. It is our best and only solution

Letter in today's Times by climate scientist Sir Brian Hoskins: "The discourse around net-zero is increasingly decoupled from…science and our changing weather. "Net-zero is not an arbitrary slogan, rather it is dictated by the laws of physics."

In many real (and several unreal) senses, net-zero and adaptation are the exact same problem set, but with a solution set calibrated for different time horizons. And because different actors and institutions *have to* operate on different time horizons, mandates, etc we need both. Working together.
