Another "By such and such a year" statement, this time from the EU ministers.
European Ministers called for a 35% reduction in automotive carbon dioxide emissions, which drew immediate criticism from German car makers who say it can't be done, jobs, jobs, jobs, and so on...
Auto makers criticize 35% decrease in automotive CO2 emissions "by 2030" target.
It's impossible they say.
I don't know why they even bother complaining. Of course it won't happen. None of these "by such and such" statements are worth the carbon dioxide generated to broadcast them.
Despite the widely applauded and delusional celebration of the "rise of solar and wind energy," the world has now hit an annual average increase of 2.2 ppm per year.
The only thing that will happen "by 2030," is that CO2 emissions, even if they don't rise to 2.5 ppm (or more) per year, will exceed this years peak value, approximately 411 ppm, by reaching figures of roughly 438 ppm, if not more.
There will be more weather disasters, of course, and perhaps some outbreaks of crop failures and famine.
But the conversation will still be about jobs, oh, and how great solar and wind will be some day.
The only thing truly "renewable" is empty promises.
Germany will have no more nuclear power, of course, because they are going to be "green" despite people protesting the cutting down their forests to be "renewable." There will be no young (or even) old trained nuclear engineers in Germany, no nuclear infrastructure, and, um, no trees, no red kites, no bats.
You know, Fukushima!
Bleak, but true.
I wish you a pleasant Friday, and a wonderful nirvana life "by 2030."
