And we all need to listen to the teenager with zero degrees and blowing off going to school and getting a basic education, right? (via behind the paywall Twitchy. Nope, not paying for it, I just use Pocket)
@GretaThunberg at #wef20: If we are to hit the 1.5C target, our remaining CO2 emissions budget will be "gone within less than eight years" https://t.co/j80IqPOt2T pic.twitter.com/LJVZ5I5SV5

As Twitchy’s Greg P notes
Keep in mind, what Greta is saying in this speech is politically impossible. She wants zero emissions. Not net-zero emissions. Just zero emissions, which is actually more honest than the other alarmists who are hoping for technologies that haven’t been invented. Transcript via the NYT
Let’s be clear. We don’t need a “low carbon economy.†We don’t need to “lower emissions.†Our emissions have to stop if we are to have a chance to stay below the 1.5-degree target. And, until we have the technologies that at scale can put our emissions to minus, then we must forget about net zero. We need real zero.
Because distant net zero emission targets will mean absolutely nothing if we just continue to ignore the carbon dioxide budget — that applies for today, not distant future dates. If high emissions continue like now even for a few years, that remaining budget will soon be completely used up.
Even if St. Greta took a train to Davos, she did not have zero emissions. Walking wouldn’t be zero. It’s also not the first time she pulled this number out of her butt. She trotted it out last September during a climate strike in Montreal. And the only way to even get close to “real zero” is massive government control of everything. She’s just another little (uneducated) Fascist cult member.
