Since the ESA forbids the Federal Government from funding any activities which might harm a listed species, why not sue to prevent the ridiculous Federal subsidies on Ethanol, on the grounds that the production, distribution, and use of ethanol have a net negative impact on carbon dioxide emissions when compared with petroleum products, thus accelerating global warming and further endangering the polar bears.

● Article 6 of the Paris Agreement offers the opportunity to build a global carbon market to assist in accelerating the energy transition and in delivering a net zero emissions outcome at lowest cost to society.

«Overall we believe that halving global CO2 emissions by 2050 is possible, before moving towards a net - zero, and then carbon - negative, world by the end of the century.
