Everything about Net Zero is fake. The temperature record, climate models, the “climate emergency”, cheap renewables, green jobs, and even the claimed emissions cuts — it’s all built on lies and distortions. A thread 🧵(1/12)
This is from C.S. Lewis's essay, "Delinquents in the Snow." I often wonder what he would have to say today.
"According to the classical political theory of this country we surrendered our right of self-protection to the State on condition that the State would protect us. Roughly, you promised not to stab your daughter's murderer on the understanding that the State would catch him and hang him. ... At present the very uncomfortable position is this: the State protects us less because it is unwilling to protect us against criminals at home and manifestly grows less and less able to protect us against foreign enemies. At the same time it demands from us more and more. We seldom had fewer rights and liberties nor more burdens: and we get less security in return. While our obligations increase their moral ground is taken away."
