CALGARY, Alberta, June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- JP Morgan's 2022 Annual Energy Paper issued in May, subtitled "The Elephants in the Room" brings some gripping and grim reality to the Utopian goals of NetZero, ESG and climate lockdown advocates, says Friends of Science Society. "The Elephants in the Room" challenges many of the breezy assumptions of climate activists and financiers like Mark Carney and GFANZ collection*, whose recent DAVOS appearance suggests that just throwing money at climate and energy issues will result in magical results, when this is nothing more than Magical Thinking, as Robert Lyman has reported. (*GFANZ – Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero)
