The latest push to “net zero” emissions by 2040 comes in the form of a book and a glossy insert advertising the said book in the Washington Post. Think of this “net zero” emissions as your ticket to more global warming taxation, cold winters in your homes, hot summers in your homes, expensive electricity, high fossil fuel prices, and total control of your movements and travel to and from work.
In “Speed
and Scale” author John Doerr proposes an “action plan for solving the climate
crisis.”
First, most
of you did not know that we have a climate crisis, did you? It was first called
global warming, then it morphed into a highly lucrative climate change
industry, now it is transforming into a climate crisis. Why the morphing of
euphemistic names, as we all know that the climate has been changing for millennia,
and the globe is not warming, it is cooling? Because the biggest polluters in
the world have not bought into their climate agenda and keep polluting away and
trillions more can be squeezed from the hapless Americans who do not have much power
to prevent their politicians from wasting their tax dollars on solar and wind projects
and huge subsidies to venture capitalist companies who engage in
scare-mongering that the planet is dying from the gas of plant life, CO2.
The
jet-setting elites who fly around the world do not seem to be too concerned
about polluting the air and the environment we share with them; they are more
interested in their companies’ bottom lines and their bank accounts. They are
not shy about telling us to cut back on everything we hold dear. They are justified
to jet-set around the world to save planet earth for the minions who are too
stupid to understand.
No matter
what they call it, global warming, climate change, climate crisis, the “net zero”
agenda is going to control every aspect of your lives and it is going to cost a
bundle in food prices, energy, electricity, water, heating, air conditioning, taxation,
and everything else we do in society.
This “climate
crisis” agenda of “net zero” aims to remove you from your fossil fuel vehicles
and install you in an expensive electric car that you cannot afford, does not
travel far, runs on free fairy dust, electricity from coal and fossil fuels, from
windmills and solar panels.
The elitist
billionaires want you to ride a train, walk, bike, give up your cars
altogether, stop traveling anywhere, stop eating meat, dairy, and eat their fake
food.
Author John
Doerr is a venture capitalist of the “cleantech movement” who runs Kleiner
Perkins; he was a board member at Amazon and Google. He is interested in issues
of climate change, public health, and education.
The ten
objectives proposed are:
1. Electricity/transportation
-
reduce transportation
emissions from 8 gigatons to 2 gigatons by 2050, a toll order as we have no
idea how all this electricity for EV will be produced and where and how millions
of cars will be charged in transit on America’s roads
-
Prices and performance
of EV (electric vehicles) will be on par with combustion engine cars ($35K in
the U.S.)
-
New buses and medium
and heavy trucks must be electric with zero-emissions by 2030; this begs the question;
how electricity will be produced for such a fleet and how would highly polluting
lithium batteries fit in as they cannot be recycled and must be buried
-
Planes must use
low-carbon fuel by 2025 and be carbon-neutral by 2040; what exactly is “carbon neutral?” The climate crisis
promoters define it as “making no
net release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, especially through
offsetting emissions by planting trees”
-
Ships must be “zero-ready”
by 2030; what exactly is “zero-ready?” It depends on who defines and for what purpose
2. Decarbonize the grid
-
Reduce
“24 gigatons of global electricity and heating emissions to 3 gigatons by 2050)
-
Solar
and wind replacing fossil fuel electricity production
-
Electricity
storage
-
No
new coal and gas plants after 2021; retire existing coal plants by 2025 and gas
ones by 2035 (homes are going to be a lot colder in winter and a lot hotter in
summer)
-
Methane
emissions to be eliminated from coal, oil, and gas sites by 2025
-
Cut
gas and oil for heating and cooking in half by 2040 (cold homes in winter and
cold meals)
-
Build
a clean economy with a clean consumption GDP by reducing fossil fuels
3. Fix Food
-
Farm
soils must have an increased carbon content of 3%
-
Fertilizers
based on nitrogen must be drastically cut (yields will decrease)
-
Promote
lower emissions proteins, cutting beef and dairy 50% by 2050
-
Reduce
methane and nitrous oxide from rice farming by half by 2050
-
Lower
the food waste
4. Protect nature
-
End
logging in primary forests and achieve net-zero deforestation
-
Eliminate
deep-sea bottom trawling
-
Expand
protected lands to 50% by 2050
5. Clean up industry
-
Reduce
“total carbon intensity” of steel production by 90% by 2040
-
Reduce
“total carbon intensity” of cement production by 90% by 2040
-
Reduce
emissions from other industries such as plastics, chemicals, paper, aluminum,
glass, apparel by 80% by 2050
6. Remove carbon
-
Nature-based
removal
-
Engineered
removal
7. Win politics and policy
-
End
subsidies, direct and indirect, to fossil fuel companies and for harmful
agricultural practices (subsidize solar and wind companies which otherwise
would not be able to compete with fossil fuels; and how are globalists able to
determine “harmful agricultural practices” as they have never tilled the soil
or stepped on a farm; farmers know how to protect their agricultural land that
produces our food and keep it fertile)
-
Charge
soaring prices on carbon at a minimum of $55 per ton of greenhouse gases
-
“Prohibit
HFCs as refrigerants and ban sole use plastics for all non-medical purposes”
-
Double
government R&D and increase it five times in the U.S.
-
Eliminate
fossil fuel use in all industries by 2050
-
Prohibit
sales of non-electric equipment by 2050 in all industries
-
Transportation
must be made carbon-neutral by 2040 at all levels (cars, buses, trucks, freight
ships, semi-trucks, and flights)
-
Power
– cut electricity emissions 100% by 2040
-
All
goods must be labeled with their respective carbon-emission footprints
- “Control
flaring, prohibit venting, and mandate prompt capping of methane leaks”
8. Turn movements into action
-
Make
“climate crisis” top issue with voters
-
All
government officials, elected and appointed, must support the “net zero” agenda
-
All
Fortune 500 companies must reach net zero by 2040
-
Emission
reports must be published yearly by all
-
Companies
must achieve net zero in electricity, vehicles, and buildings by 2030
-
Education
Equity – the world must achieve universal primary and secondary education by
2040 (would that be global Marxist indoctrination?)
-
Health
Equity – “Eliminate the gaps among racial and socio-economic groups in greenhouse
gas-related mortality rates by 2040” (Who knew that such mortality rates
existed and how do they know exactly that deaths occurred due to greenhouse
gases?)
-
Economic
Equity – this forced transition will create “65 million new jobs, equitably distributed
and outpacing the loss of fossil fuel jobs” (This sounds like the green jobs
that were never created under the Obama administration; and amazingly, using
Common Core math, they will be equitably distributed.)
9. Innovate
-
Produce
a lot of batteries (Where is the lithium coming from and how will such toxic batteries
be disposed of?)
-
Green
hydrogen
-
Carbon
dioxide removal (How will plants live?)
-
Cost
of synthetic fuels ($2.50 for jet fuel and $3.50 for gasoline by 2035)
10. Invest
-
Philanthropic
investment ($30 billion per year)
-
Project
financing ($1 trillion per year)
-
Venture
capital ($50 billion per year)
-
Government
R&D (public sector funding of $40 billion per year)
-
Financial
incentives (global government subsidies for clean energy of $600 billion)

And if you
are not convinced that this “climate crisis” plan is going to be put into
action in your lifetime, whether you agree to it or not, take note of the billionaire
titans mentioned in Doerr’s book, Mary Barra, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, and Al
Gore. You will pay for this “climate crisis” plan dearly and be happy about it.
Super article. I already knew about the new refrigerants from Scot. Anyone with older systems are going to have to replace systems gradually because the older one will be phased out and get increasingly expensive. That’s what was done with the first one which many still have.

Horrible plan, but you knew that. I will be driving west across Iowa on I-80 & will see again the ugly windmills on the landscape. Can't imagine electric cars in the upper midwest. When an accident happens, there are terrible backups on I-80, sometimes 2 hours or more. It is the major East-West route from coast to coast, full of trucks hauling about everything. John Deere tractors out of its headquarters in Moeline, Illinois and surrounding plants (they recently were on strike), subway/train cars (I think going from Chinese backed plant in Chicago area to LA), the huge windmill blades, agricultural products, livestock, and everything else. How will electric cars survive a 2 hour traffic jam in freezing and lower temperatures?
ReplyDeleteI don't think most Americans know every air conditioning unit in the US will have to be replaced due to freon no longer being made. One son and a good friend already had to get expensive new units due to this. My furnace and AC are over 10 years old and will have to be replaced soon too if they fail. More junk in.la drills instead of being able to add freon.
On and on.......

The climate alarmists are insane. Their schemes won’t work. Have a great day, Ileana.

Meanwhile, the Chicoms are spewing carbon clouds all the way across the Pacific, and Peking and major cities on their subcontinent are wearing pollution-protective masks for decades! India overflows the Indian Ocean with millions of tons of trash and Pakistan uses the Ocean as a dumping place for all its shit! Where is the UN protection board against Earth pollution? Where is the crooked Paris Agreement? Where is Communist Party standing with regards to open pollution by moist Asian countries? This is a WAR, without Covid or Atom bomb!
