In addition to “climate change” and “green,” EERE forbid officials from using “emissions” to avoid the implication that they are a negative. Climate change is caused by rising greenhouse gas emissions, which is driven primarily by burning oil, coal and natural gas for energy.
Other terms officials must ditch include “energy transition,” “sustainability/sustainable,” “‘clean’ or ‘dirty’ energy,” “Carbon/CO2 ‘Footprint’” and “Tax breaks/tax credits/subsidies.”
How can you be so obtuse? Do you not recall when a US Senator brought a snowball onto the floor of the senate to completely disprove this hoax?
Just like the time we had a minister bring a lump of “clean coal” into the Australian parliament.
Pretty neat demonstration of how the world beyond their viewpoint doesn’t exist.
