That really wasn’t a secret to anyone with an ounce of common sense

The premise is flawed. “Net zero” emissions is unnecessary and a concept dreamed up by the climate change cult which is driven by an effort to control the living standards of the masses while our overlords do whatever they want. Produce cheap energy, use hydro, nuclear, natural gas, clean coal and other methods where they are efficient. Minimize pollution as much as you can.

Quit trying to control the world.

Not to be contrary (we’re kinda splitting hairs) but I work in energy. I work with this stuff daily. The prices of consumer goods will be untenable without .gov interaction in a low carbon system, without generational technological breakthroughs. The taxpayer will fund that .gov interaction. Woods talks about this toward the end of the article, referring to subsidies.



I think you have to believe that the "climate change" problem is actually real, man-made, and then, possible for man to "solve".

I would consider that science, unsettled at best.

Do our actions affect the environment around us, sure, but to what extent is the real question.

And what is the point of punishing our economy and citizens while the bulk of the other developing nations are firing up coal plants weekly?

I think there has to be balance between clean energy and affordable energy.

And as other posters have stated, Nuclear blows all the other current options out of the water. And we have that technology today.

Agree. Either 1) the problem has to be existential or 2) there needs to be major technological breakthrough. In the absence of either the ends don’t justify the means.

Support the narrative or else.

If you've seen Idiocracy, you can draw a mental picture.
Sadly, it has become an accurate picture instead of a caricature.

Someone explain this part to me. I thought fossil fuels were considered to be the major factor in greenhouse effect.

ETA: is this why we've seen such a big push against farming and cow gas? So O&G execs can point the finger somewhere else?

Shifting narrative.
They have pounded the fossil fuel propaganda so long it has "saturated the market" so to speak.
All the useful idiots who are going to buy it have already been captured.
Now they slightly re-word the stories to create a new strawman. People who weren't triggered by the old catch phrases and scare tactics are new targets with the modified language.
