NET ZERO MEMES + MOANS
Even the most devoted Climate Activist must see that Net Zero Carbon Dioxide is suicide!
Article by Unherd: Is this the week that Net Zero died?
“It has been a tough week for climate activists. First, the new head of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), Jim Skea, said we should not overstate the 1.5 degrees celsius warning, and that humanity will not end if we miss it. At the same time, wind projects are hitting new obstacles, with Vattenfall cancelling a new offshore project in the North Sea due to high costs, while also having a project in Sweden rejected because Stockholm sees potential “negative effects on the environment” from offshore wind installations.
Elsewhere in the world of renewables, a new report has shown that the production of solar panels is causing more emissions than previously thought, and the once much celebrated solar-powered mini-grids in India are falling apart. But it does not end there: the British Government has decided to cut costs of polluting and approve hundreds of new North Sea oil and gas licenses. This announcement may have upset Just Stop Oil activists, but the reality is that the world is using more oil than ever and Britain needs to be prepared.”
“The cult of Net Zero is complete insanity. There is no conceivable way it can be achieved in any reasonable timeframe or at anything like an ‘affordable’ cost, but countries - including the UK - will be bankrupted and destroyed in the attempt. Even the (comparatively trivial) ambition to install smart meters has been a complete fiasco, running years late (almost 15 years after it was first conceived) and significantly over budget.” ~
“UK Net Zero Secretary Grant Shapps was yesterday forced to admit the National Grid is hopelessly underpowered for the challenge of charging up millions more electric vehicles. And Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch is warning — along with car manufacturers — that an arbitrary requirement for 22 per cent of all car sales to be electric by NEXT YEAR is risking jobs and investment. . . . [A]s ex-Cabinet minister Jacob Rees-Mogg argues, if the PM were to back The Sun and put the brakes on net zero as part of his 2024 election manifesto, it would be popular with voters. And it could well get him back on the road to victory.
We’ve been waiting a long time for this. Finally, it’s a start.” ~ https://wattsupwiththat.com/2023/08/06/costs-beginning-to-change-the-net-zero-debate-in-the-uk/
