Unconservative?

Conservatism is about being pragmatic, fiscally competent and defending personal freedoms from the abuses of state power.

It is not conservative to force the public to spend tens of thousands on products they don’t want.

It is not conservative to ban things.

It is not conservative to wreck the car industry.

It is not conservative to endanger our electricity grid.

It is not conservative to damage the economy in pursuit of a target that is meaningless, given the continued growth in global emissions.

It is not conservative to blindly carry on with policies which are not working.

Above all it is not conservative to bypass the public and effectively hand control of public policy to a tiny, unelected clique of extreme climate activists and the renewable lobby.
