The real environmental crisis for humanity goes far beyond climate change

Solving the global climate crisis is not going to be easy. So when the seemingly simple net-zero concept was proposed, it quickly became a popular rallying cry in the fight against climate change. Net-zero is based on the idea that human society can continue to emit carbon dioxide into the atmos.

Net-zero emissions: Winning strategy or destined for failure?

collaboration. Net-zero. Those two words have become the near-universal language for policymakers intent on sealing a deal at the UN climate conference in Glasgow, Scotland in November. But are they the key to fulfilling the promises to hold warming to 1.5 C made at a similar climate summit in Paris six years ago, or, as some scientists and activists are now saying, are they a dangerous delusion to which climate scientists have become complicit? Achieving “net-zero” requires that any carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gas emissions are balanced by absorbing an equivalent amount of CO2 from the atmosphere sometimes called negative emissions. More than 100 countries, including the biggest three emitters China, the United States, and the European Union have pledged to achieve net-zero targets in the coming decades. They are being applauded for finally getting a grip on climate change.
