Beyond net-zero: We should cool the planet back to pre-industrial levels

The truth is that those currently green, eco, etc country who are marching as and how they manage to reduce carbon emissions is that they achieve it mainly via relocating their heavy gas emitting factories to other parts of the world (China, Vietnam, or cheaper Eastern Europeans).

So there is zero chance to cool the planet unless ALL areas will act and have exactly the same laws and rules regarding gas emissions.

Do you have any data to support your case. This tells a different story: https://twitter.com/hausfath/status/1545816788750938112

Well, I don't have any data, it's enough to look around.

How many products that you buy is produced/manufactured in a country vs those made in China, Vietnam, Bangladesh and so on?

Before moving production to offshore places, those had to be built in Germany, UK, France... name any 1st class country.

Once production is relocated elsewhere, so does the environment related issues.

We can talk in 3-5 years because if they do plan now to reshore back to EU, environment related issues will just raise again in our eco EU.

Your point that western europeab reduction of cox emissions is mainly due to outsourcing production and not due to reduction of co2 heavy energy sources will be nothing more than pure speculation unless you come up with some hard data.

Who writes this stuff? These people openly demonstrate no concept of scales, or they choose to ignore it because it would annihilate any perceived validity/value of their string of statements they put together. I am at loss to understand why nature publishes this nonsense.
