United Nations policies demonstrate a LACK of energy literacy

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has used the claims of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to push the Paris Climate Agreement, and based on that, the quest for Net Zero emissions.
The developed world, maybe 40 of the United Nations’ 193 member countries, holds the UNFCCC in high regard and supports its push, oblivious to the consequences. The push for Net Zero emissions fails to address basic Energy Literacy questions.
The future prosperity of the other 153 countries relies on the same fundamentals that enabled development in wealthier countries – reliable electricity, reliable transport, and a myriad of products manufactured using fossil fuels and their derivatives.
About 80% of the global population of 8 billion people live in less developed countries. Much of Africa and South-East Asia are prime examples of this, but also Pacific Ocean Island states. The people in those countries might live on less than $10 per day, but the greater problem is that they have little or no access to reliable electricity or to the myriad of products manufactured using fossil fuels and their derivatives. The “green” agendas of the developed world are threatening to never allow them access to it.
