How it ends: 96% of Big Corporations are quietly abandoning their climate commitments

By Jo Nova

And then the climate pledges evaporated

The Tech-Giants are backing away. Microsoft and Google have given up — they’re not bragging about their carbon neutrality anymore. Not now that their emissions have increased 29% and 50% respectively in the last four or five years. Over 500 companies pledged to get to net zero by 2040, but 96% of them are failing to stay on track. To distract us from talking about how the Climate Bubble has popped, some are blaming “AI”.

The world is facing mass death and boiling oceans, and wind and solar are still as cheap as they never were, but Big Tech are sneaking away from saving the world, wait, because Artificial Intelligence uses a lot of electricity? It’s like, these CEOs were saviors of Mother Earth not long ago, but the ice-caps be damned, there’s a race on to capture the AI market? Apparently, the planetary heroes just turned back into robber barons doing business.

Dr Jemma Green, who sells software for renewables markets, is trying to sell us a bad-luck story, as if it makes any sense. The truth is that if net zero technologies were cheap and useful, and the […]

I've lived though this and every other greenie-weenie trendy fad for almost 50 years professionaly now.

If there ever was a time I wished I had a tape recorder on my phone, was back in 1991, when the good folks of PIRG called, falsely ID'ed themselves as a liason for TCC (Texas Chemical Council).  Let me just say they needed to work on their acting skills.   :cool:

The greeen movement is comprised of two sides.  The duped uniformed who believe everything they see and read, and (2) The socialist, who understand that forcing the country off fossil fuels is quickest and best way to enact full wealth re-distribution..... Both within the nation and out.

The corporations?  90+% were never pro-green.....   just hostage victims.   And I for one am glad the tide might be turning.

I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.
