But of course China, the world’s biggest polluter, gets a free pass. But hey, it has nothing to do with politics.

“Zero” omissions??? These people are anti-science, reality-deniers. What lunatics and fools. I fart in their general direction.

The UK wants to go back to Dickens’ time with the added benefit of the Muslim call to prayer. Better visit before it turns into Tripoli.

Except government leaders and the very rich, of course.
They can buy carbon absolution.

Zero Emissions = Zero Humans
Some plans have big flaws.

Priorities.. They need to take care of their invader problems, not focusing on a made up boogey man.

Dicken’s time was no environmental utopia. The soot and smog were legendary.

There’s that ‘fair share’ meme again.
No thanks, Isabella.

If they're worried about the environment, then they should be addressing corrupt political systems that cause starvation and poverty, prompting people to do what ever they can to survive - including burning rain forests, deforestation, unsustainable farming practices, over-fishing, etc.

You aren't thinking far enough ahead. How about, just spit-balling, here, we use nitrogen, and exterminate all Leftists?
You know, the ol' herd 'em into camps and process thing.
The technology is on the shelf, and I'm sure the DNC/Antifa/BAMN/Climate Changers will be understanding about it. They certainly will be eager martyrs to the cause...

I suggest all the gaia worshiping fools start zero emitting immediately! No more breathing, pissing or crapping, and when they expire we will have to use special crematoriums to insure zero emissions afterwards. Then they can be returned to gaia for eternity. They will be happy, we’ll be happy and gaia will be happy, who could ask for anything more!

I love these articles. OK, let’s assume we’re willing to get to “zero” emissions. How to the hundreds of millions of people in these countries heat their houses? Use electricity, even at reduced levels? We’d go back into the pre-industrial era. But even that wouldn’t reduce emissions — we have billions of people on Earth now. They all would start burning coal and wood to stay warm. Hundreds of millions would die.

Open burning releases carbon dioxide into the air. That's not carbon-neutral! The Swedish government should tell these guys to stop burning Swedish flags.
