While I was remembering #FDotM scribblings from last November, Primus Canis himself was making new ones:

Net zero! It’s not even a real thing so why does everyone hate it?

You can sell fossil fuels overseas till the cows come home as long as you don’t burn it here

The Guardian

"Wealthy, industrialised nations of the global North, such as the United States and Germany, are responsible for 90% of excessive levels of carbon dioxide emissions, and could be liable to pay a total of $170 trillion in compensation or reparations ..."

"#Australia’s contribution to global warming can only be understood by considering its fossil fuel exports alongside its domestic #emissions.

A total of 1.2 billion tonnes of CO₂ [is] attributable to #FossilFuelExports.

In other words, Australia’s global fossil fuel carbon footprint is three times larger than its domestic footprint. Around 80% of the damage is done overseas."
