I pulled this off Quora.
To achieve NET ZERO the International Energy Agency recently ran the numbers:
Annual nickel production will have to increase 19 times.
Cobalt will have to increase 21 times.
Graphite – 25 times.
And then there’s lithium, which requires a 42-fold increase.
That's a shame.
Ze bugs become terrified. Who needs stressed out mealworms?
The Big Lie oft repeated
Climate change will be a rationale for mass reduction in human population.
Not a reduction in elites of course.
What a pant load, from start to finish.
Unquestioned premises and assertions throughout, such as “ more than 1.3 degrees Celsius hotter than the pre industrial temperature (between 1850 and 1900)”.
We were and probably still are transitioning from the Little Ice Age.
Yet these people want to claim they know what the optimum temperature is and you will by God agree.
No logic and no science.
Sad that thee and me are being bankrupted by these aholes.
“The USA, Canada, Australia, Norway and the UK which had the moral responsibility to rapidly phase out oil and gas production...”
That’s all I needed to read. If you accept this notion, then you are already lost to reality.
The textual effluent of the woke crowd.
I recognize no such “moral responsibility”....especially not when China in one year opens more coal fired power plants than we even have and is BY A MILE the largest carbon emitter.
Someone ping me when CO2 reaches 5 parts per 100 of 1%. Never mind, we’ll all be long dead.
All we need to do is find a 13 year old girl to
save us.
“2500 Giga tonnes of CO2 equivalent has been emitted in the atmosphere by all human activities on the globe since industrialisation begun.”
Amazing how the fear mongers can arrive at such ridiculous, outlandish, unprovable statements.
Moral responsibility why? What in the world is wrong with fossil fuels? They work beautifully and harm no one and benefit many.
Stupidest thing the government has created....stupid as the time change...like they’re really changing time.
Still this propaganda that “fossil fuels” somehow cause a mysterious “climate change” which varies from global cooling to runaway atmospheric heating, creating huge human dislocations and perhaps megadeaths.
Isn’t this what The Powers That Be want anyway? Mass movement of humanity from overrun poverty stricken localities to the relatively open and currently prosperous parts of the world, then destroying the very source of that prosperity by eliminating the use of “fossil fuels” by government decree.
No longer able to produce adequate quantities of food, or generate the electricity so necessary to a modern civilization, the lights go out and a vast chill settles upon the starving and destitute population that remains.
Dystopia achieved right on schedule for a massive dieback of humanity, resulting in a world depicted in “Soylent Green”.
And we know how the shortages of protein were managed.
It’s sheer lunacy to “transition” without a viable alternative, which we don’t have at present. Further evidence that it’s all a big scam.
Encourage nuclear energy.
Make and store methane (i.e., 'clean natural gas') from biomass and petroleum wells.
Ignore Chicken Little climate scientists and their clownshow discipline.
And don't fund all this with government, just stop taxing the hell out of everything.
We will be fine.
What about plastic, pharmaceuticals, steel, fertilizer … batteries and solar will not make those products.

As you freeze to death, don’t you dare sing “Baby it’s Cold Outside” or they’ll cut your chocolate ration.
I’ll tell you something Pushcar, everybody from India is busting their asses and breaking the law sneaking into those countries, the USA, Canada, Australia, Norway and the U.K. They seem to have a thing for fossil fuels you fool. Those in your beloved India would still be looking up and howling at the moon and not landing machines on it if it wasn’t for those countries! Grow up Skippy and go back to huggin’ your trees.
