"Net zero" is an attempt to tame a wicked problem.

But a wicked problem is wicked precisely because the problem cannot be defined; cannot be tamed. "The formulation of a wicked problem is the problem!"

The problem is not with the word "net." The problem is the failure to recognize that "There is no definitive formulation of a wicked problem."

I’d be quite shocked if we managed to just stop accelerating. Net Zero is unachievable to an absurd degree.
