Zero-covid and Net-Zero: when financial interests coincide
you don't need a conspiracy.
Yes, the opposition to net-zero has received a boost (helped by free market protectors the Heartland Institute and by brewery owner Alan Miller and the Reform party) by piggy backing on the inevitable opposition to the zero-covid nonsense.
Yes, UK territorial co2 emissions account for 1% globally, but when imports are accounted for we make up about 2.6%, so quite a lot for such a tiny country and per capita more than people in China. There has been no green transition yet, addition of renewables accounts for the increase in consumption: emissions are not decreasing. Only 0.1% of farmland is used for solar. It's a lie to say that de-industrialisation in the UK is due to net-zero and also ridiculous to say that stooge Milliband has banned new drilling in the North Sea!
Yes, pharma's zero-covid let them market useless and harmful drugs and allowed the puppets in government to avoid addressing the real cause of disease: partly pharma itself.
Yes, fossil fuel's net-zero allows stupid off-sets and £22 billion in funding for carbon capture research that helps extract more fossil fuels all of which enables the government to avoid addressing the slowing down of emissions by fossil fuels, which would harm the profits of their puppeteers.
