And for just 14% of housing stock. To save 0.02% of global CO2. You read it right. This latest cost estimate for Net Zero (just for housing and just for London) shows that the Climate Change Committee misled MPs when they claimed the cost of #NetZero would be much lower Dr Benny Peiser Read more: https://t.co/JwwzgfuDSq https://t.co/sdwwdd0X1J This latest cost estimate for Net Zero (just for housing and just for London)"
