In order to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, Earth s dependency on fossil fuels will need to go the way of the dinosaurs.
According to the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, who set the goal, that s our only hope of limiting the average global temperature to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels. The repercussions of climate change are already being felt in the form of droughts, wildfires, flooding, and more severe and more frequent weather events. As average global temperatures rise, so do the human and economic costs.
