What isn’t fiction is the sinister reason behind the push.
Last August, Mark Mills, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, published a prescient report entitled “The ‘Energy Transition’ Delusion: A Reality Reset.” The report demonstrates convincingly that the transition to Net Zero Emissions (NZE), if politically imposed, will mean a dramatically reduced standard of living for the world’s advanced industrial societies. It’s an excellent essay, but it misses the mark because Mills misses the real point of the leftist push for a “green energy” revolution: For leftists, NZE is not about the climate. Instead, NZE is simply a vehicle to achieve a purely political goal.
While eminently reasonable and admirable, the Manhattan Institute’s push for “energy and climate” reality to dominate governmental policy debates will fail because global warming and climate change hysteria derive from neo-Marxist anti-capitalist ideology. “Imaging a world without hydrocarbons” is predominately a utopian dream, fit only for a John Lennon lyric. Climate scientists, who exchange emails admitting their “hockey stick” arguments require rigged data, know that CO2 is not the turning knob of Earth’s temperature.
Do we want to return the world to a preindustrial level of CO2? Daniel H. Rothman, a professor at the Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences at MIT, published an important paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in 2002 His research established that over most of the geologic record of the past 500 million years, Earth’s CO2 concentration fluctuated between values two to four times greater than those of today. However, over the past 175 million years, the data show a long-term decline in the air’s CO2 content.

When you use the strategy of “Orchestrated Crisis” the solution is known before the crisis is fabricated.
In a world where givernment fudges all sorts of numbers (e.g. unemployment rate, inflation rate, number of illegal aliens in the US) net zero emissions will get fudged too - to advance certain leftist enterprises and to shut down those they do not want. It is another tactic to advance the left’s accumulation of and hold on political and financial power.
I believe the earth is warming. I can’t imagine a weather system that is static. I don’t for a minute think humans if cattle have anything to do with it. The earth is barely affected by human activity.
There’s no justification for dumping poisons in our waterways or air or burying it in the soil but the climate is unaffected by humans.
i’ve said right along...that the greater the population, the greater amt of c02 to support it.....and the food supply
since there can be no voids in the universe, tell me what the void created by the co2 loss will be filled with

CO2 / oxygen
The two sides of the same coin called life.
The industrial revolutoin saved us from extinction. We should be celebrating CO2.
I will need to configure my CI Score what happens in California doesn’t stay in California, unfortunately.

What is a CI score?
Carbon intensity (CI) scores are the backbone behind California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard, and are measured in grams of carbon dioxide equivalent per megajoule of energy (gCO2e/MJ). Each year, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) sets a carbon intensity benchmark for all fuels. Fuels with CI scores above the benchmark create deficits which can be satisfied by purchasing LCFS credits generated by fuels with CI scores below the benchmark. The more the CI is below the benchmark, the more valuable the corresponding credit, everything else being equal
(LCFS pricing is subjective.)
The schemes are coming fast and furious.

The level of atmospheric CO2 has nothing to do with causing/changing/controlling our climate.
The entire atmosphere has nothing to do with causing/changing/controlling our climate.
Anytime folks talk about a system of “warmer” or “cooler”, they are talking thermodynamics.
Ergo, climate is the thermodynamic system that causes our weather. Such a definition breaks the circular description of “climate is the weather of an area over a period of time”, and “weather is the atmospheric events caused by climate”. And around and around we go.
When climate is properly understood to be the thermodynamic system that drives the weather, the circular dependency is resolved, and climate can be described accurately as the system of solar heating of the earth’s surface that is partially ameliorated by the oceans’ currents that help distribute heat from the tropical regions towards the polar regions. Etc.
Further still, warm periods are good things. Life is better in the warm periods because crop yields increase, rain patterns are more consistent, and there are less deaths by plague. We used to talk about the Modern Warm Period in good ways and appreciated that we didn't live in the Little Ice Age cooling period or Dark Age cooling period of our ancestors. That is, until the political class decided on a massive brainwashing campaign to make us hate the good things in life, including global warming.
No such thing as ‘Net Zero Emission’.
The Laws of Thermodynamics will not be mocked............
Guess they must have forgotten that nearly EVERYTHING in daily use is somehow tied to petro products. E V E R Y T H I N G! Not to mention there is, like “gender reassignment”, NO SUCH THING as zero carbon. Follow the science. Or are WE not allowed to say that. The perpetrators of this HOAX can phu cough! As for climate related? Well, if my calendar is correct today is May 3 and looking out side at the still falling wet slushy snow, we have around 6 inches at this time. I could use some warming about now. 🎄❄️☃️
Maybe we should push for “net zero” hot air emissions coming from Congre$$ which would alleviate the alleged climate change problem.
AS in Trmmp-Russian collusion, “truth” (what we are being told) has nothing to do with the desired outcome. We simply are being told what our controllers believe will cause us to act and accept as our controllers desire.
