I'm absolutely on board with you about the ability of government, when it's properly motivated and acting in good faith with reasonable expectations and sound policy decisions.....to organize a campaign far beyond the ability of any individual citizen. I'm only pointing out that this potential for effective action has not, as of yet, matched up with the reality of our governments actions. That we hit an emission target is great....but that doesn't change the fact that the green movement is being coopted by polluters, and focusing on the emissions metrics is one way that these polluters have hidden the total footprint and cost of their actions. That was the point of capturing industry watchdogs and advisory boards.
Even with the best of intentions (which, lol, they don't have) they get gamed. To a certain extent it's impossible to prevent this because governments are bound by laws that a private citizen is not (and here again, industries have incredible power to shape those boundaries as well - effectively forcing the governments hand).
