  1. Google has quietly dropped its net-zero by 2030 pledge, weakening one of its boldest climate commitments. While it still promotes goals like halving emissions from 2019 levels and using 24/7 carbon-free energy, the company now frames them as an aspirational “moonshot” rather than a firm responsibility.

  3. in their defense the net-zero was pretty much always a scam anyway.

    when corporations like google can simply BUY their way to the net-zero side of the carbon footprint maths by investing in unproven and frankly scam level undertakings to greenwash their image, it really does become meaningless.

    if we where holding these companies accountable, what we would be doing is taxing them for externalizing their costs onto the environment and there would be NO WAY to offset that with “credits” from somewhere.

    either they internalize those costs and price them into their business model, or we do it for them.
