The Daily Sceptic reports that a new paper by distinguished atmospheric scientists Richard Lindzen, William Happer and William van Wijngaarden shows the utter futility of the globalist pursuit of net-zero policies. The scientists calculate that a successful effort to reach the net-zero goal by 2050 would result in a lowering of global temperatures that is at best imperceptible.
Here’s an excerpt from that story:
Recent calculations by the distinguished atmospheric scientists Richard Lindzen, William Happer and William van Wijngaarden suggest that if the entire world eliminated net carbon dioxide emissions by 2050 it would avert warming of an almost unmeasurable 0.07°C. Even assuming the climate modelled feedbacks and temperature opinions of the politicised Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the rise would be only 0.28°C. Year Zero would have been achieved along with the destruction of economic and social life for eight billion people on Planet Earth. “It would be hard to find a better example of a policy of all pain and no gain,” note the scientists.
