Just read an article by Ian Plimer where he states that Australia and
almost all countries are at Net Zero already. Further more he says that the earth as a whole is already net zero. As a geologist he seems to look at everything much more widely than others. For instance he talks about how a lot of CO2 gets converted into shells of various creatures. He made a lot of points like that. Now I will stand by while everyone shouts out how he is a director of various mining, oil and gas companies etc etc. So What ? Posted by Bezza, Saturday, 8 July 2023 10:55:30 PM

Dear Bezza,
So what? you say. My goodness, why is this so difficult for you? Plimer is utterly compromised and that needs to be called out each and every time. But putting that aside a good little write up on how Pilmer continually contradicts himself can be found here: http://skepticalscience.com/Plimer-vs-Plimer-one-man-contradiction.html Now how about you use your brain when you are told by him that the world is at net zero. If instead you accept it how do you explain this: http://scrippsco2.ucsd.edu/graphics_gallery/mauna_loa_record/mauna_loa_record.html Posted by SteeleRedux, Sunday, 9 July 2023 5:05:44 PM

We now like government intervention vs. the free market?
Because, if left to the free market, renewables are overtaking fossil fuels on prices and costs, while supporting more efficient economic growth.
Those lefties or liberals at the FT in article (23 Sep '22)
'Data Points: Economics may take us to net zero all on its own. The plummeting cost of low-carbon energy has already allowed many countries to decouple economic growth from emissions'
From the embedded article graphic, which nations have been the most successful in increasing economic growth vs. decline in emissions? Sweden, with Finland, Czechia & then all other nations in graphic similar, just slower.
'The pace of this decoupling has now accelerated as the shift from carbon-intensive manufacturing to services and from dirtier to relatively cleaner fossil fuels has been supercharged by proliferating cheap renewables.'
