Satirical video slices and dices deceit of governments’ “Net-Zero by 2050” COP-26 pledges
Satirical video slices and dices deceit of governments’ “Net-Zero by 2050” COP-26 pledges Fact is, say scientists, that “Net-Zero by 2050” really means we’re “net-fucked by 2050.” — CAUTION: Readers may find the word “fucked” in this piece offensive. Personally, I find the reference to “government deceit” far more disturbing. “The latest satirical video from The […]

Here in the Arctic in Sweden’s far […]

Led by E.U. and AUKUS dreamers, they destroy reliable energy from coal, oil, nuclear, gas, and hydro while forcing us to subsidize […]

Analysis: Which countries are historically responsible for climate change?
Analysis: Which countries are historically responsible for climate change? Historical responsibility for climate change is at the heart of debates over climate justice. History matters because the cumulative amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted since the start of the industrial revolution is closely tied to the 1.2C of warming that has already occurred. In total, humans have pumped around 2,500bn tonnes […]
