Vlad Bogorov talks about Glasgow City Council’s plans to spend tens of billions to pursue net zero and Bogorov’s three YouTube videos from public meetings where officials gave vague, cliché answers, asked for written questions, and objected to being filmed. Bogorov argues such environmentalism is “low resolution thinking,” primarily about power and public money, and claims renewables and policies like EVs can increase CO2 when accounting for grid losses, mining, and transmission. He cites Germany closing nuclear and burning more coal, contends nuclear is safest and necessary for net zero, and urges critics to focus on whether environmentalism raises or lowers CO2 rather than debating global warming itself.
