Het streven naar Net Zero CO2-uitstoot in 2050 is "je reinste zelfmoordpoging" omdat het plantenleven er enorm onder zou lijden als het wereldwijde CO2-gehalte tot onder de 500 ppm daalt. Beneden de 150 ppm zal het plantenleven massaal zal afsterven.

Publisher’s rating: De uitspraken zijn misleidende verzinsels. De concentratie CO2 in de lucht schommelde honderdduizenden jaren tussen ongeveer 180 en 300 ppm (ratio CO2-moleculen in de lucht). Vanwege door de mens geproduceerde CO2-uitstoot is de ppm sinds de industriële revolutie snel gestegen naar 426. Al het bekende plantenleven heeft dus altijd gefloreerd bij waarden lager dan 500 ppm. Zelfs als de mens geen CO2 meer zou uitstoten, leidt dat niet tot een daling tot onder de 150 ppm.

Last year, the Conservatives oversaw a disastrous result – with ZERO new offshore wind projects. Labour came in and fixed this. The results are power for over 11 million homes with a new supply of clean homegrown energy.

Publisher’s rating: The auction round in 2023 was considered a failure for offshore wind largely because the price which companies were allowed to charge was too low. This price was increased before the election by the previous government. The current Government’s contribution was to increase the budget available in this year’s auction, which likely increased the amount of renewables commissioned.

Quadrilha que roubou fazenda é da turma do Lula

Publisher’s rating: ENGANOSO

The review says the video shows a 2022 incident in Pontes e Lacerda, Mato Grosso, and was misleadingly linked to Lula in a post circulating in August 2024. It found no evidence connecting the people in the video to Lula or any criminal organization.
