"50% of the carbon reductions needed to get to net zero will come from technologies that have not yet been invented"
Great news! I spoke to Harry Potter and he said he will team up with Gandalf, Sherlock Holmes & The Avengers and get started right away!

If you can’t see that “net zero targets” risk leading to these things, then you either don’t understand the problem or you have a very clear agenda.
The problem is of course not the “net zero targets” themselves, but that they’re being used as excuses to postpone real action.
The lack of concern and assistance rich nations are showing poor nations such as India on COVID right now is surpassed only by their lack of concern and assistance over climate and ecological breakdown, which will kill far more people.
"How long do you honestly believe people in power like you will get away with it? How long do you think you can continue ignoring the climate crisis, the global aspect of equity and historic emissions without being held accountable?"
My testimony to the US Congress today.
"Just 3% of the world’s land remains ecologically intact with healthy populations of all its original animals and undisturbed habitat."

The majority of billionaires have gotten richer since the start of the pandemic. Let me repeat that: 86% of billionaires are now $5.1 TRILLION richer, while some 76 million Americans have lost their jobs. Yes, the time is now to address this obscene level of greed and inequality.
The whole notion of your own personal carbon footprint is fossil fuel propaganda - literally!
The first carbon footprint calculator was developed and popularised by BP in a $250 million campaign. Why? To individualise the problem, and let big polluters off the hook.
Look, they're going to convict Derek Chauvin. He'll be sacrificed to restore faith in the system. But we need to understand that no matter what happens the entire system is guilty. Chicago cops killed a 13 year-old Monday. There is no justice in this system. Reform is not enough.
Republicans won't vote for Biden's American Jobs Plan no matter what's in it. So why not $3 trillion? Why not a million new high-paying construction jobs? Why not a total repeal of the Trump tax cut plus a tax hike on the super-rich? Why not a Green New Deal?
