Net zero is a policy goal, not science. Climate science doesn’t care about civilization, politics or ideology. It just measures reality. Claiming policy goals equal a “scientific attack” confuses evidence with political debate. You can argue about implementation all you want, but that doesn’t erase decades of global measurements and independent research.
