It is worse than that. They have fanciful schemes that will get us to
net zero but only in their crazed imagination! The small problem of the
laws of physics and in particular conservation of energy get in the way.

I switched on the radio a couple of days ago and almost immediately
heard someone say that adding two effects together gave the result
squared.  A few seconds later another 'expert'  said something like
"because the material of a building hadn't risen in temperature as much
as the surrounding air, it was working negatively, behaving as a
refrigerator".

I immediately guessed that this was a BBC programme about the
environment and the contributers were qualified 'environmnetal experts'
brought into the studio to explain the science to us poor simpletons.
It turned out I was right.

What hope is there when this sort of stupidity is used to bolster
political decisions based on ignorance and justify it as "science".
