Net zero is antithetical to the existence of fossil fuel companies, save for some amount of natural gas in niche scenarios & space exploration. Carbon offsetting will be greenwashed just like the recycling push of the 2000s. So will simultaneous carbon sequestering. This reads like a tabloid from the 50s saying smoking isn’t bad for you.

That’s exactly right. These thing were already bought, paid for, installed, and being used. This is just a fuck-you to anyone who cares about the environment. Why? Because if you care about the environment you probably don’t support Trump.
