THE NET ZERO FALLACY

WHAT CLIMATE SCIENCE SAYS IS THAT GLOBAL WARMING IS CAUSED BY HUMANS BURNING FOSSIL FUELS. WHAT THEY WANT IN CLIMATE ACTION TO FIGHT GLOBAL WARMING IS FOR HUMANS TO STOP BURNING FOSSIL FUELS. THE PROPOSAL THAT HUMANS CAN CONTINUE TO BURN FOSSIL FUELS IF THE EMISSIONS ARE OFFSET BY CARBON CYCLE INTERVENTIONS IS FALSE.

ABSTRACT

The United Nations is an Unconstrained Bureaucracy. It is financed mostly by taxpayers from a few donor countries but the large and growing bureaucracy is too far removed from those taxpayers to be directly accountable to them. It is run by unelected, unaccountable, undisciplined, and incompetent bureaucrats. The organization’s size, budget, and scope are unconstrained. The budget funding process provides perverse incentives for these bureaucrats to increase the size and scope of their organization simply by creating multitudes of agencies and programs, and by inventing problems and environmental crises set on a global scale.
