The “Green paradox,” arises from the present drive in the West for zero net carbon emissions, as policies for carbon reduction in the future accelerate the very carbon-producing activates the Green elites would want to control, as firms hurry to extract as much carbon-producing resources as they can now before the Green reduction guillotine falls on their businesses.
Thus, according to a report by the fanatical climate change alarmist United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and other research institutes, the fossil fuel production planned by countries for 2030 is set to more than double (110 per cent more), the level required by the UN to limit supposed global warming to 1.5o C. This makes the Paris Climate Accords redundant, as more coal will be produced and used until at least 2030, especially by communist China, who only gives lip service to Western climate change nonsense, while building new coal-fired power stations at a record rate. UNEP Director Inger Andersen said “Governments' plans to expand fossil fuel production are undermining the energy transition needed to achieve net zero emissions, creating economic risks and placing the future of humanity in question.”
