'As large parts of Europe and North America swelter and then ignite, a future
of endless climate destruction seems inevitable.
In Australia, we've already felt the flames and know we will again.
And many other places now find themselves stuck in an ecocidal tennis match,
bouncing from one extreme to another, from devastating fires to heartbreaking
floods.
There's a growing consensus on the urgent need to bring down carbon emissions,
and the global rallying cry is net zero. This isn't just a climate target, it's
become a badge of commitment.
There's also a realisation that it won't be easy.
"Transitioning to a net zero world is one of the greatest challenges humankind
has faced," the United Nations declares on its Climate Action website, urging a
"complete transformation of how we produce, consume and move about."
But a schism has emerged among the faithful, with major environmental groups
and several leading climate experts now washing their hands of the net zero
concept.
Their warning is blunt: the methods and technologies we've adopted to reverse
global warming simply won't work.
Worse still, they could do more harm than good.'
