The Road to Net Zero

  1. Absolute pathetic

    Better to build 900 stratospheric planes and spray sun-reflecting particles, it’ll only cost 12 billion a year
    We can stop warming now with geoengineering
    Completely replacing hydrocarbons with the sun and wind is stupid, it is better to take even more time from the future and spend this money on fundamental physics.
    We need something like fusion power plants, not that renewable steampunk for tens of trillions of dollars. If you spend all of the world’s GDP on renewables it can only replace current consumption and it will take 30 years to build.
    I remind you that in 2050 there will be about 10 billion on earth and they all want to live like a golden billion, which means that we need to increase the amount of energy produced by 5-10 times.

  2. Side note: The date of Net Zero is not the relevant indicator.

    The amount of CO2-budget that you exhaust till then is. If you achieve a 0,5 ton/person tomorrow don’t bother to rush a 2040 date….you’re doing good.

  3. I am glad Bulgaria didn’t announce anything about this. People just can’t get over buying shits that they don’t need or wasting fuel for nothing.

  4. Would be interesting with a graph that shows the change in target year by time for major countries. I’ll post one in 2050.

  5. Promises are empty, especially from politicians who wouldn’t be around to be held responsible
    Actions today are what matters (looking at you Germany/Austria) with some having proPutins gas anti green nuclear stances and wanting to impose that on rest of Europe

  6. So is madagascar etc. actually net zero already?

    If yes: how? If not: thats a shit pledge/law then, if you dont keep it.

  7. Its just so shameful that my generation leaves this staggering problem to the next generation. We have known about this my entire life and done nothing. 😔

  8. Funny how our current leftist government thinks we can be neutral in 2030 and we should achieve it before everyone else. Better get all that industry out of Finland and hike up the gas prices !

  9. Ah, Serbia and Poland, don’t worry together we will produce enough dust ash and smoke to cover rest of the Europe.

  10. So I imagine legal frameworks in countries with carbon neutrality already achieved impose limitations that mean net zero is maintained; and for countries declaring carbon neutrality in the future, the legal frameworks shall be adjusted to prevent ‘slippage’ and leaving the net zero state?
