   Net Zero is a scam

   “Net-zero schemes are being created by and for corporations and governments in Global North countries who have long seen people in the Global South—especially people of color, Indigenous people, women and low-income communities—as expendable, exploitable and inconsequential. “

     @gerrymcgovern unfortunately people use #netzero without understanding what it implies and it has become the norm. Worst, we won't even hit the #netzero target (i.e. even unicorn #climatetech doesn't save the maths, wtf?)
