Net Zero . . . The Scandal . . . Jim Le Maistre June 6, 2022 (Anniversary of D-Day in Europe in 1944 - Canada, UK, USA forces)
The whole ‘Net Zero’ system is about ‘Appearances’ . . . NOT the clean up of pollution. We take industries that ‘Appear Clean' by ignoring their implicit ‘Embodied Energy’ and allow them to sell 'Carbon Credits', also known as 'Carbon Allowances', that work like ‘Permission Slips’ for companies that Pollute Excessively. Then these ‘Excess Polluters’ who buy ‘Carbon Offsets’ get to continue polluting, unabated without spending a single dime on removing the REAL pollution going up their smokestacks . . . This is a game of ‘slight of hand’, a ‘Magician’s Trick’, trading 4 quarters for a dollar . . . when it comes to cleaning up the Air we Breath or the Water we Drink . . . It LOOKS amazing . . . on paper . . . while in practice . . . It improves NOTHING . . . it is no better than moving the deck chairs on the Titanic from one side of the deck to the other . . . hoping that the list will be corrected . . .
