Climate Gobbledygook: ‘Experts’ Pontificating Mitigation Failure
By Robert Bradley Jr. -- March 12, 2025
Ed. note: With the US-led demise of Net Zero and “energy transformation,” prior attempts to come to grips with climate futility and energy reality are worth revisiting. This article, “Three Decades of Climate Mitigation: Why Haven’t We Bent the Global Emissions Curve?” (Annual Review of Environment and Resources: Vol. 46, 2021), is an example of a faulty worldview, a vastly overbuilt academic climate network (23 authors), and an inability to seriously deal with critical views of climate alarm/forced energy transformation.
“The globalizing formations of industrial modernity … are, arguably, most distinctively driven by an array of fallacies, fictions, and fantasies of control.” [1]
This post presents the article’s Abstract, Summary Points, Future Issues, and Conclusion followed by my critical comment.
ABSTRACT
Despite three decades of political efforts and a wealth of research on the causes and catastrophic impacts of climate change, global carbon dioxide emissions have continued to rise and are 60% higher today than they were in 1990. Exploring this rise through nine thematic lenses—covering issues of climate governance, the fossil fuel industry, geopolitics, economics, mitigation modeling, energy systems, inequity, lifestyles, and social imaginaries—draws out multifaceted reasons for our collective failure to bend the global emissions curve.
