At the risk of derailing the thread, the myth is that ostriches bury their heads in the sand when they are scared (and it is only a myth, because they don’t). It has been used to describe humans who cannot or will not face up to what’s happening around them.
So, for the record: I have no doubt that the climate is changing; I also have no doubt that it always has and it always will; I’m not sure whether the current significant changes are entirely due to man’s activity or not and I don’t particularly care. What I do care about is that this country (along with many others) is impoverishing its people, destroying its economy and ruining its businesses in order to chase something that is completely unachievable and, even if it could be achieved, is utterly pointless.
Efforts have been made to “control the climate” for many years now. They have all failed, as this item in today’s news demonstrates:

Instead of imposing charges on people in order to reach “net zero” the government would do better to simply mitigate the effects of climate change in the UK. This won’t be particularly onerous. The country enjoys a moist temperate climate and continues to do so. The mean average surface air temperature has risen by about 0.75 degrees C in the past 100 years. If the government can only react to this by describing it as an "emergency" and by putting pictures of uncontrollable forest fires on the telly every time it doesn’t rain for a fortnight in July, they need to keep out of the argument altogether. All they’re doing is frightening gullible people.
