"Climate" policy has nothing to do with carbon emissions; it's all about rewarding the friends of Big Green, Inc. and punishing everyone else.
Daily Caller (12/17/22) reports: "Although the United Nations states that carbon capture and storage technology (CCS), equipment that enables fossil fuel producers to sequester emissions to mitigate global warming, is needed to meet emissions reduction targets, multiple climate activist groups oppose its development as they believe CCS entrenches the oil and gas industry. The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) states that governments and other entities must employ CCS to remove greenhouse emissions from the atmosphere and store them underground in order to limit global temperature increases below 2.7°F, compared to pre-industrial levels, according to an April IPCC report. However, climate activist nonprofits like the Sierra Club, which has previously referred to the IPCC’s work as the “gold standard” for climate science, argue that CCS is a 'false' climate solution that is designed to help the fossil fuel industry...'They cherry-pick these reports for things that suit their goals and ignore the rest … they should not be against any solution that involves reducing CO2 emissions,' Institute for Energy Research President Thomas Pyle told the DCNF. 'The industry is responding to their calls to reduce CO2 but that’s not good enough for groups like the Sierra Club because they want to destroy the oil and gas industry.'"
