I’ve also assumed the same. There’s no way it’s a rare enough edge case not to be impactful

I would wager it comes from a history of being a trade powerhouse. I’m no expert, though.
Kinda. A lot of them had this very strong opinion that they were basically an economic powerhouse and were actually better off without the trades that were lopsided against them. They’re learning how trade power actually works.
Carbon neutral means you try to “offset” your carbon. It’s half scam, half helpful. The idea is if your company produces an unavoidable amount of carbon, you offset this by supporting Carbon-free solutions elsewhere making your net production “neutral”. It’s a scam because sometimes the offset is stuff that was never going to produce carbon, and also because using other areas to claim “neutral” causes a weird double count. Carbon neutral is less good of a solution than carbon free, but it’s a step in the right direction.
However, target year of 2050?? Fucking what? That’s not something to brag about, that’s painfully and embarrassingly slow. That’s embarrassingly slow to be carbon free, much less carbon neutral.
It feels like almost a certainty. The real fun part will be the Americans acting like the schism hasn’t happened while the rest of the world will be distinctly aware of the split.
Oh is that why I can’t seem to figure out where the damn search function is anymore? That’s legit been driving me nuts for a few years.
Like, you legit can’t remember? It’s “oops all berries” Captain crunch
