The west is deindustrializing in the quest for Net Zero
Lmao thats a fucking lie
Wait, wait
The west is […] in the quest for Net Zero
Still a fucking lie
Net zero what? Net zero wage payments? Bc I know they’re not talking about hitting climate goals lol
Summary:
The West Is Falling because our green energy is made by Chinese producers and because said green energy is weaker than fossil fuels because it’s too woke
Carbon emissions are still bad when the reds do it though cause they’re caring more about supplanting the than about the environment because they still have coal power plants
The enemy is both woke and unwoke etc
skimming this it looks like all of the deindustrialization he describes is due to profit-maximizing decisions, which he then pretends were made for environmental reasons
I have a feeling he is not an environmentally conscience person
This is probably inevitable tbh. Climate Change will affect the global south worse than the west. So at some point the west is going to actively try to make emissions worse in order to “punish” the rest of the world for opposing colonialism.
My read is not that. The “news” article is basically lamenting how the UK/Europe is handicapping itself “green” regulations, so their industry moves into evil China’s realm. And that this action doesn’t even do its purported goal of reducing CO2 emissions because he says that China “continues to build more new coal-fired power plants than the rest of the world combined.”
I’m not sure if that claim is true, but his argument is not, “therefore we need to pass laws/tariffs on CO2-produced goods” for the sake of the planet. His point is the green regulations will enslave the west to China. Literally. “The inevitable end result will be subservience to China.”
but at what cost
Tons of CO2 particles that could have joined their friends and families in Earth’s upper atmosphere but now aren’t going to because the Chinese are genociding them with their “clean” (read “pure”, obviously a dogwhistle for gas supremacy) technologies.
The righteous Carbon Liberation Front is being oppressed by the evil CCP!!!
