Given the current energy situation, it is well worth running this video from February. It makes a familiar enough point, but is a useful reminder of that point. Influential people pushing climate change mitigation policies must know the policies won’t deliver anything worthwhile because they so obviously cannot.
The ludicrous mendacity of Net Zero is worth emphasising too. To a good approximation, everyone involved must know it is destined to fail. They must also know how mendacious it is to pretend otherwise. It's mendacious and they know it. Apart from the genuine idiots I suppose.

"Apart from the genuine idiots I suppose." Judging by the wuflu debacle there are plenty of those available.
I'm not sure that I trust any of the studies which predict where we'll be at the end of the century. That goes for both sides of the debate. Science is just not that good. It would be like asking someone in 1922 what the world would be like in 2000. Sure, the science is better now, but the world is a lot more complicated with a host of additional variables in play.
Being in thrall to ideology has often ensured complete failure in the past so why should the present and future be any different? We still have plenty of stupid ideologues.

Jannie - and some are still wearing masks outside.
Sam - yes, making alternative predictions is a weakness of the video although they do it within mainstream assumptions.
Tammly - believers don't appear to see it as an ideology, which is odd because it clearly is an ideology.
