Climate Change NetZero is a Prosperity Killer!!

I am an unapologetic and unrepentant climate change emergency sceptic, and this is why… Based on the facts gathered rather than the rhetoric from the sensation-seeking media and most of the over-politicized scientific community its very clear that the following approach will be necessary.

No more than 1.5 Deg increase or else!!!!

The Climate Industrial Complex warns us that we dare not cross a temperature threshold that exceeds 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7°F) of increase from those that existed before the Industrial Revolution. We have already seen an increase in temperature of about 1.0 degree Celsius, so they are trying to forestall a rise of another 0.5oC (0.9°F) before catastrophe strikes. Does this..
