Nothinig speaks stupidity of net zero no louder to me than Google's brag about being net zero since 2006, yet they built a center in Pryor Creek, OK (some call it just Pryor but the official name is Prior Creek), a small town with a big industrial park east of Tulsa, OK. 2 miles away is a coal fired plant...let that soak in. They wanted reliable power. There isn't a wind generator within 50 miles. The area has 2 stable sources of electricity. Coal and hydroelectric. In fact, nearby to the coal plant is a pump back lake where excess electricity at night is used to pump water into a lake east of Hudson Reservoir at night and then during peak hours the water is released and generates more power.
The article below isn't about Trump so much as common sense. The British author of the article lays it out succinctly. We can spend Trillions trying to change a climate that doesn't give a **** what we do. It will change naturally, just like it has always changed. The "Little Ice Age" was real. The Medieval Warming Period was real. The MWP boomed after the "Dark Ages" which were indeed dark due to volcanic dust filling the sky that lasted for decades and cooling the earth, reducing the world population. And the MWP fell to that little ice age (LIA) which some research suggests was the very cause of the Black Death.
....research suggests that the transition into the Little Ice Age, with colder temperatures and altered precipitation patterns, may have contributed to conditions that facilitated the Black Death outbreak.
America’s inevitable turn away from its climate commitments will pave the way for Britain

And the official review into Ed Miliband’s plans to decarbonise electricity by 2030 last Tuesday warned we’ll need to quadruple our “flexibility” to meet that target, a conclusion that will have been warmly welcomed by those who believe the only way to “go green” is to deprive ourselves of basic modern comforts.
“Flexibility” is a euphemism, of course. What they really mean is something closer to “wartime rationing”, imposed through a mix of moral blackmail and higher bills. It’s exactly what the green fanatics want. Fixing the climate seems to come second to controlling the behaviour of others, hence the vociferous opposition to cleaner energy sources which would provide both security and abundance.
Let's face it. The main goal of the fanatical green agenda is to throw us back into the LIA and create a huge global death trap. The earth has been much warmer than today. The earth has been much cooler that today. And the clear winner is warmer weather is better. And currently the change of temperatures are so tiny, so difficult to accurately measure that we are not really sure if the decadal changes are either plus or minus. Once the heat island effect is subtracted from the urban temperature stations, the change in temperature actually appears to be falling.
