Labour's net zero targets are out of step with public opinion and 'distorting' effective policy on climate change, the Tony Blair Institute warned yesterday.
The organisation, run by the ex-PM, said politicians must focus on infrastructure and technological innovation instead of arbitrary dates.
Sir Keir Starmer previously laid out plans to 'decarbonise' UK power by 2030 – a goal he admitted was 'difficult' but 'doable'.
But new polling for the Tony Blair Institute (TBI) shows just 19 per cent of Britons believe we will achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

TBI senior policy adviser Tone Langengen said: 'It's time for political leaders to stop setting unrealistic new short-term goals, and double down on the technology and innovation that will deliver on long-term commitments.
'Right now, the focus primarily on Britain's targets is distorting policy.'
A government source told the Mail: 'Starmer's mad plans to decarbonise the grid are based purely on ideology.'
Sir Keir's official spokesman said: 'We will have a complete strategy on tackling child poverty when we get into government.'
Labour was under renewed pressure yesterday to scrap the two-child benefit cap after former PM Gordon Brown told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: 'The tragedy is we are now writing the future history of our country by neglecting children who we have condemned to poverty.'
