Companies in the agreement represent seven global industries - steel, cement, chemicals, aluminum, shipping, aviation, and trucking

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.Over 400 companies across some of the world’s biggest greenhouse gas emitting industries – from shipping to steelmaking – have agreed to work together on plans to decarbonize by 2050, according to a coalition of climate advocacy groups that set up the partnership.

Companies in the agreement represent seven global industries – steel, cement, chemicals, aluminum, shipping, aviation, and trucking – that together account for nearly one-third of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions.The deal, dubbed the Mission Possible Partnership, commits those companies to work with competitors, investors, suppliers and buyers to devise “climate action agreements” by 2024 to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.

For example, airplane manufacturer Airbus, airlines like KLM , airports such as Heathrow and fuel providers like Shell will co-operate to map out a net zero plan for the entire sector and speed the transition to sustainable aviation fuels such as biofuels, for one example. We Mean Business is co-organizing the partnership with the Energy Transitions Commission, Rocky Mountain Institute and the World Economic Forum. The organizers say they hope the partnership will create momentum for the next round of international climate talks in Glasgow in November.

These people are nuts! Bio fuels require more carbon to produce than oil extraction. Wind turbines require massive amounts of steel aka carbon emissions! Carbon net zero tactics mean nothing but moving jobs to the third world where they can increase their carbon footprint.

Will never happen.
