Many financial institutions are facing criticism for announcing their 'net zero' ambitions while simultaneously bankrolling new fossil fuel production. Laura Clarke, CEO of ClientEarth, highlights this contradiction and calls for greater accountability. The issue of achieving 'Net Zero' without a decline in living standards is also raised by Professor Michael Kelly of Cambridge University. Meanwhile, Alex Epstein, a prominent advocate for energy freedom, argues that a net-zero approach will result in limited energy availability worldwide. Epstein will be addressing African energy leaders at Africa Energy Week, urging them to reject the net-zero movement and embrace energy freedom, including fossil fuel freedom.
Today I will be addressing hundreds of African energy leaders at Africa Energy Week. My message: for the sake of Africans and the rest of the world, African leaders need to confidently reject the net-zero movement and embrace energy freedom—including fossil fuel freedom. 🧵👇 https://t.co/fQpKRcgQKf
“if we have an energy freedom policy, we can have cost-effective energy for the whole world because we'll have more fossil fuels and more of other things that are cost-effective. With net zero, we're going to have very little energy available to the world.” With @yaf https://t.co/VgG8EfpnYi
“What are ‘net zero by 2050 policies’? Government (coercive) actions whose primary and binding goal is the net-elimination of CO2 (and other GHG) emissions, whose number one source is fossil fuel use, by 2050.” https://t.co/LJexBkQ9cB
So many financial institutions are announcing their “net zero” ambitions, while simultaneously bankrolling new fossil fuel production, writes @LauraClarkeCE, CEO of @ClientEarth. Partner content. https://t.co/717wjHpBj4
Good article, includes this quote from Cambridge's Michael J. Kelly: "The idea that Net Zero can be achieved by any means short of a command economy combined with a drastic decline in standards of living is a blatant falsehood" https://t.co/Y4MeMFp9iu
Yesterday, the Biden @Energy Department projected that global emissions will increase through 2050, exposing 'net zero by 2050' as not happening. https://t.co/FTHTv8oPwc There has been no mention of this report so far by the climate propaganda outfits at Associated Press, New… https://t.co/WVvQBfyWLf https://t.co/3H7Obo2eVF
"The idea that Net Zero can be achieved by any means short of a command economy combined with a drastic decline in standards of living is a blatant falsehood," says Cambridge's Professor Michael Kelly. And for what? https://t.co/1UwCX7cm9A
There is little evidence that Net Zero will bring back manufacturing jobs to Britain… @TomMcTague on the narrowness of Labour’s vision 👇https://t.co/ldRGqDagYH
ICYMI... the Biden administration @EIAgov projects that 'net zero' is not happening. Global energy consumption dictates increasing emissions through 2050. Anyone talking about 'net zero' is talking out of their a$$. I've been informing my followers that emissions are never… https://t.co/CKhEnB2EAU https://t.co/kTAMfLrId4
Michael Kelly almost nails it in his @Telegraph column about totalitarianism being necessary to achieve 'net zero.' Here's the miss. He writes: "The idea that net zero can be achieved on the current timelines by any means short of a command economy..." Here's the reality: Net… https://t.co/8QfdgOGAH9 https://t.co/pmbFzUSvst
“Myth: The best policy toward CO2 emissions is ‘net zero by 2050.’ Truth: Net-zero policies have been catastrophically destructive when barely implemented and would be apocalyptically destructive if fully implemented.” https://t.co/LJexBkQ9cB
Biden administration admits global emissions never going down: "Non-fossil fuel-based resources, including nuclear and renewable energy, will produce more energy through 2050, but that growth will likely not be sufficient to reduce global energy-related CO2 emissions under… https://t.co/f6Ui7EYZ2V https://t.co/BHy1oq49QI
#Global #energy use should converge at a level that is sufficient for provide decent living standards for all within the constraints on carbon #emissions, note Lydia Powell, Akhilesh Sati & Vinod Kumar Tomar https://t.co/xcIlJ2pBib
Labour needs to grasp the economic opportunity of net zero, rather than focusing on the costs, writes @GreenAllianceUK’s @SteveCoulter13. From @NS_Spotlight ⬇️ https://t.co/gzzhiq5CXC
