Satirical video slices and dices deceit of governments\u2019 \u201cNet-Zero by 2050\u201d COP-26\u00a0pledges<\/a><\/h3>\n

Fact is, say scientists, that \u201cNet-Zero by 2050<\/em>\u201d really means we\u2019re \u201cnet-fucked by 2050<\/em>.\u201d \u2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

CAUTION: Readers may find the word \u201cfucked\u201d in this piece offensive. Personally, I find the reference to \u201cgovernment deceit\u201d far more disturbing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe latest satirical video from The Juice Media takes aim at humanity\u2019s inadequate response to the climate emergency. Humanity is on a catastrophic global heating trajectory that will pass what scientists call the \u2018net fucked by 2050\u2019 point and is risking \u2018irreversible chain reactions beyond our control\u2019 just so billionaires can grow even richer. \u2018Being honest isn\u2019t an option for us. Which is why we\u2019ve come up with the next best alternative: net-zero by 2050.\u2019 No, that\u2019s not today\u2019s report out of the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, Scotland. It\u2019s the latest Honest Government Ads satire video from the Juice Media. The Australian company has been producing boat-rocking political and social satire videos since 2008, and now they\u2019ve got humanity\u2019s woefully inadequate response to a potentially existential planetary emergency in their sardonic crosshairs; specifically, insidious \u2018net-zero\u2019 pledges that dangerously delay the immediate carbon emission reductions needed to avert a worst-case climate scenario.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0\u2014Common Dreams \/ The Juice Media<\/strong><\/p>\n
