Harry Decker: Net Zero is a Pipe Dream | Tom Nelson Pod #255

After graduating from high school, HARRY DECKER spent ten years in the U.S. Air Force working with computers in military intelligence. He has lived in ten different states and took college classes in five of them. He never completed a college degree, however, due to changing his mind about his career. He has attended various technical schools over the years to keep up with the changing industry. In civilian life, he worked as a computer operator, programmer, technical writer, and tech support specialist for various companies such as Maricopa County, St. Joseph’s Medical Center, Information Network Corporation, and Charles Schwab International. His hobby at one time was tournament chess, but he dropped that and took up creative writing and filmmaking. He had a short story published five years ago titled “A. I. Gone Amok,” a fictional tale about the dangers of artificial intelligence and that the deep state was planning on releasing a virus that would kill millions. Now retired, he writes and directs plays. And he’s working on a short film. He has also written numerous technical reports over the past three years that challenge climate alarmist claims and the green agenda.  00:00 Introduction to Harry Decker's Presentation 00:17 Critique of the United Nations and Climate Change Policies 01:50 The Concept of Net Zero and Its Challenges 02:46 Historical Context and Failures of the United Nations 04:16 Global Conflicts and Humanitarian Issues 06:40 The United Nations' Stance on Climate Change 08:15 Criticism of Mainstream Media and Climate Predictions 11:28 The Role of Automobiles in Pollution and Climate Change 17:09 Electric Vehicles: Benefits and Drawbacks 18:26 The Impact of Lithium Mining and Battery Production 28:00 Challenges in Aviation and Sustainable Fuel 33:08 Agriculture and the Role of Tractors 36:46 Shipping Industry and Fossil Fuel Dependency 40:58 The Environmental Impact of Bunker Fuel 41:22 Cleaner and Greener Container Ships 42:00 The Growing Fleet of Container Ships 43:01 Luxury Yachts and Their Environmental Footprint 44:09 The Role of Trucks and Trains in Freight Transport 45:48 The Massive Fuel Consumption of Military and Naval Vessels 48:17 Cruise Ships and Their Environmental Concerns 50:12 The Ubiquity of Heavy Machinery and Equipment 55:07 The Debate on Climate Change and Media Narratives 01:10:34 The Future of Energy and Fossil Fuels 01:12:04 Conclusion: The Reality of Achieving Net Zero Slides for this podcast, along with AI summaries of all of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summaries https://x.com/hdeckeraz ======== My Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL89cj_OtPeenLkWMmdwcT8Dt0DGMb8RGR X: https://twitter.com/TomANelson Substack: https://tomn.substack.com/ About Tom: https://tomn.substack.com/about
