I’m tired of both overly optimistic messages from climate activists and scare stories of the impending apocalypse. It’s about time we get realistic. “Net zero” by 2050 is not a realistic goal and it’s about time we admit it. I am afraid that many plans that are eating up money are fuelled by wishful thinking rather than by rational thought. Let’s have a look.

Key quote:
- For me the relevant question is this: Why do we have so many bullshit plans? I think it’s because the people who make these plans don’t take the situation seriously. If you’re in a serious situation you give clear and simple orders: Do this, now. You don’t fuck around and waste time on 20 different things that hey would be pretty cool if they worked but probably won’t.
