11 months agoIt feels like almost a certainty. The real fun part will be the Americans acting like the schism hasn’t happened while the rest of the world will be distinctly aware of the split.
Carbon neutral means you try to “offset” your carbon. It’s half scam, half helpful. The idea is if your company produces an unavoidable amount of carbon, you offset this by supporting Carbon-free solutions elsewhere making your net production “neutral”. It’s a scam because sometimes the offset is stuff that was never going to produce carbon, and also because using other areas to claim “neutral” causes a weird double count. Carbon neutral is less good of a solution than carbon free, but it’s a step in the right direction.
However, target year of 2050?? Fucking what? That’s not something to brag about, that’s painfully and embarrassingly slow. That’s embarrassingly slow to be carbon free, much less carbon neutral.
