It is that or suffer the scorn of Greta Thunberg!!! How Dare You!!
If the point really were to make the climate colder, they would have no idea what they are doing — not that the climate needs to get any colder anyway, with two thirds of the country plunging into a deep freeze. Unless our rulers are literally psychotic, the actual point is to prevent us from heating our homes:
A state commission [Monday] approved plans to phase out fossil fuel-burning furnaces beginning as soon as 2025 as part of New York’s aggressive program to address climate change.
No reasonable person believes this will prevent the climate from fluctuating the way it always has and always will.
The plan adopted [Monday] by the state Climate Action Council requires energy-efficient electric heat pumps or other non-combustion heating systems in every new home built in 2025 or thereafter.
The systems cost more, of course they do, and I would not be stunned if they do not work as well, but….., well, you know,
Not giving up our wood stove.
Wish I had one
