text: The only things “enormously destructive” and “terrifying”, as the lame duck to the south says, are the western leaders who think that they are saving the world by taxing their own citizens to death. I think we'll find out well before 2030 that the whole thing is an elaborate scam, that the CO2 reductions claimed by countries are unauditable, and everyone is cheating (except Canada, of course). Kind of like OPEC promising to cut oil production.
