Why the fuck is 50 percent reduction called a net zero target??? Canโt this be just called emission reduction target?

It's about green washing and not actually taking F1 back to the front of technological advancement.
Just don't ask DHL how much carbon is emitted shipping all the stuff around the world to make the races happen.
You got waaaaaaaaaay bigger fish to fry when it comes to planes, boats, and trucks involved in getting entertainment into your home.
I put it up there with football (soccer) as entertainment to millions with fairly minimal logistics emissions.
It's less about the emissions themselves as the difference between their marketing of the sport and the actual impact.
I agree, there are way bigger fish to fry and everything comes at a cost.
There seems to be some effort in that area too.
A new fleet of DHL biofuel-powered trucks also reduced logistics-related carbon emissions by an average of 83% during the European season.

They've also changed the calendar to prevent hopping around all over the globe, but instead keep races that are in the same part of the world together. But they've gotten a lot of negative feedback on this point, so they might change this back to the way it was in the future.
My gripe is that a lot of the US races are in absolutely shit spots. Austin and Miami are way too hot to be held when they are. Frontload Austin and Miami, put Vegas near the back of the calendar. Either that, or do something like Bahrain -> Aus, Japan, China -> Austin and Miami -> Europe -> Interlagos -> Vegas -> Qatar and Abu Dhabi. This is just my two cents, so take it for what it's worth, but that's just a personal opinion.
I kinda get it. The start of this season has been brutal with every race overnight. Iโm not even bothering watching this entire leg of the season because of the horrific start times for the US. When they were spread out over the calendar Iโd usually stay up to watch, but with them all clumped Iโm not even trying.
