The real problem is developing countries, they are polluting more than ever but they can’t be asked to lower their emissions since developed countries are not making any effort at this point.
The aspect that seems the most neglected in the mainstream debate, is improving the hydrological cycle with appropriate watershed patterning and constructed features. This helps with defending against flooding and preventing drought and more rampant wildfires at the same time as improving the health and stability of ecological biomes/agricultural areas as such sequestration of more soil carbon with better optimised hydration. It also helps mitigate various other pollutions with better filtration. More hydro power without directly damming rivers also.
@ILATE gaming What? No. No not really, you cause pollution you have to mitigate it and not externalise the cost. Materials, effluent, gasses ect in wrong places is pollution, in the right places/handled the right way should be either inert or a resource even. "Net zero" implies you "off set" it by "making up" for it in a another way. In terms of "net zero carbon emissions" seems like a nonsense concept for high emitting industry's to move allowances around on paper when in practice these activities are often doing little to nothing to restore and develop strong hydrological and carbon cycles, landscape watersheds ect. Often they're just planting too many of the wrong trees in the wrong places or something because "on paper" it represent a potential amount of carbon sequestration, in practice they might have actually not improved watersheds in the region and increased fire risks and most of them don't survive because they've not established a well balanced forest under decent ongoing management.

20 thousand years ago, before Agriculture was invented and very limited number of human beings living on earth, the sea level started to rise and it kept rising for 12 thousand years, in total for about 120 meters. All these happened under "net zero" of that age.
@Gustav Malraux the problem is the sea level can go up and down more than 100 meters all by itself, again and again, even before human civilization ever existed. On the other hand, Gore's "20 feet" has been considered as a joke on both sides. BTW we live in an Interglacial in the current ice age, which started 2.58 M years ago. Yes, we are currently living in an ice age.
We don’t live like they did 20,000 years ago. There are millions of people living in coastal areas. Where are they all going to go to. Will the infrastructure be able to cope with that influx. Throwing red herrings into the mix does absolutely nothing to prevent the disaster that is looming. Hai Wu, you need to start looking at the way you live, like we all do. The babies you see are the humans that have to live when the SHTF.
That was the end of an ice age, and the rate of Co2 change was slow, and produced by natural phenomina. That made the climate suitable for humans to thrive. The rapid intoduction of Co2 to the atmosphere over the last 200 years due to industrailisation, is not caused by natural phemonina, and is taking the climate out of a range that is suitable for humans to thrive. Do you see the difference?
And for your amazement, Ladies & Gentlemen, we will acheive net zero, while maintaining our current lifestyles at no extra cost. PS: I walk most places I need to go, otherwise, where time, distance, or weather are a factors, it's public transport - train or boat preferably or bus, rarely by air
The fact is nobody wants to take responsibility for any of the greenhouse gasses that are being released in the atmosphere as log as that they must spend capital developing the negative emissions. Provided the situation doesn't change, we can kiss net zero goodbye.
Net zero: at any level, tent, home, building, city, country. requires zero inputs... zero food, zero energy usage, zero water usage, zero outputs, and zero l*fe. understand now?
This might be nerdy, but it’s a tad misleading to discuss pollution emissions and use stock video of nuclear plants because the stuff coming out of the stacks at those plants is water vapour, not a pollutant. However there is the storage of nuclear waste but that’s a separate issue. :)
@@piroDYMSUS I didn’t realise that some coal/gas plants had similar looming cooling stacks for water vapour! All the power plants where I’m from that aren’t nuclear have the more traditional, thin smoke stack I guess they may have smaller production capacities.

I'm sure certain countries will be able to achieve net zero for them, it will naturally involve increasing the carbon output of other countries though.

Consider my lifetime. 1950 = 2.5 billion people. 2021 = 8 billion. 1950 = 35 exajoules/billion. 2021 = 70 exajoules/billion. This isn't going well. Population growing at 1.05% will double again in 66.6 years. Historically "population growth slows as a nation's wealth increases" but people are becoming poorer now. Count on hitting 11 billion consuming ever more energy, whatever the source. Thanks for playing. Nice to have known you all.
The only way to achieve net zero is: 1 measure your footprint, 2 reduce emissions everywhere you can, 3 compensate your emissions by supporting negative emission initiatives (tech-based, or rather nature-based). Net-zero cannot be achieved globally though - to keep in mind!
Perhaps the question should be what is a sustainable population? Perhaps the planet can only manage with 4 to 5 billion people. The politicians never talk about this but it is as relevant.
I agree with you. When the effects of planet warming really start to bite, if could wipe out fair chunk of the global population specially low to medium income countries. Unfortunately planet warming is slow moving, in fact glaciers are quicker moving than planet warming, so we don't know when the point of no return will be reached or if we have passed it.
Jeff Bezos said it was impossible to reduce consumption per capita. The only solution is to colonize other planets. His intention is to set up the initial infrastructure for next generation to achieve colonization. I fully concur with him. No one wants to “reduce their quality of life” so we have to reach further then our planet.
We will first have to make it more affordable to go to net zero because it's expensive to get solar panels on a house and also get a electric car or a self driving car. We also have to clean out our ocean as well.
To adapt to sustainable environmentally friendly living, etc is going to be very expensive yet it has to be done since planet warming is slow moving, in fact glaciers are quicker moving than planet warming, so we don't know when the point of no return will be reached or if we have passed it.
first of all, electricity only accounts for a fifth of energy use, and only a fifth of our electricity doesn't use fossil fuels, so about 5% of our energy use is from non-fossil fuels. energy is just one part of our impact like transportation is just a part of our impact. there is also land use and industry that play big roles. plastic in the oceans has nothing to do with climate change.
Another MAJOR reason why nations are very reluctant to achieving net zero is because we must evaluate and calculate the outcome of the forbiddance of NOT combusting 1/1,000,000,000,000,000 or 1 trillionth of a hydrocarbon atom/and/or molecule and attain, sustain, and maintain the nations' gross domestic products higher and higher every year under the demands of globalization.
Deep-sea fertilization is probably the best way to achieve substantive negative emissions. We could fertilize the oceans one year, and the following year we give the seas a break with no fertilization. This could also be followed up with alkali treatment if ocean acidification becomes a lingering issue. It's risky, but I don't think we have a choice.
British companies are paying the highest electricity prices of anywhere in the developed world, official data has shown. The cost of power for industrial businesses has jumped 124pc in just five years, according to the Government’s figures, catapulting the UK to the top of international league tables. It is now about 50pc more expensive than in Germany and France, and four times as expensive as in the US. The figures will fuel concerns about the future of UK industry amid warnings that high energy prices are crippling domestic manufacturers
Gaslighting and crazymaking are one in the same - they are both terms to describe a person that wants you to feel like you’re losing your mind. They do that by causing you to distrust your own decisions and make you think that you are wrong about almost everything. They know how to turn you from a happy, assured individual with your own thoughts and ideas into a dependent, unsure and fragile person that can’t take any steps without checking in with them first. Emotional abuse is insidious in nature, but crazymaking is the ultimate perception destroyer. If you can’t trust your own perceptions, you don’t even know what reality is. After some time with the crazymaker, you’ll come to trust the very person causing you to distrust yourself.
I totally agree. I am a farmer who has transitioned to regenerate agriculture over the last few years, with a mission to inform others. I was a conventional farmer for many years, using the latest and best technology to solve my daily challenges, as that was what I was taught and advised by experts that I "trusted". I was also one of those "experts" giving the advice for a few years. I believe agriculture is the biggest cause of climate change and catastrophic environmental destruction evident today, ironically it is also the solution to the carbon problem, no technology needed. Just an open mind and a reality check, which is blocking the understanding of what regenerative agriculture really is and what is aims to achieve. My point being, the power of rational decision making has been taken away from the managers of land (or any individual in fact) and we are dependent on organisations to advise us on the best decision making when solving daily problems, while they profit from the sale of goods and services.

Our extinction 3.5ky-5ky away with BAU, unstoppably like any glacier on Earth ending below a rising sealevel cannot be stopped from quickly melting from below by warm oceans and altered jetstreams, check.

It cannot be done unless we programme for 100 years on. 80% of our energy, elec grid, transport, heating and population increases cannot be done with existing tech. There are not enough materials for half our needs. Batteries alone would cost $350 trillion just for USA. It is all out of balance for 2050 targets.
There is one more thing that needs considering. It's called Thermodynamics. Which says that no engine is 100% efficient. Translation: removing carbon from the atmosphere requires more energy spent than the amount of energy produced emitting it in the first place.
the right to emission is the right of development and a fundamental human right. all people living in non-industrial lands should have the right to live as great as the people living in industrial lands do such as the USA, west European countries. in contrast, developed countries like the USA, the UK have emitted much more CO2 than developing countries such as CHINA, Indien in 18th, 19th century. for fairness, the sum of emissions should be accounted in the entire period from industrial innovation to today. in this case, the developing countries can get bigger parts from this sum to cover the lack of emissions in 17th and 18th centries. in the other words, how many more co2 emissions did industrial countries emit in past centries decides the rest parts of the emission made in developing countries. at the same time, a certain limit of emission is necessary for the future of human beings as well.
Yeah no my guy you are completely wrong. the majority of pollution and emissions has happend in the last 50-100years. 18th and 19th century emissions were nowhere near those of today and thats because of globalisation and the worlds population getting much bigger. In the 17th century there were no emissions as the first industrialisation started around 1760 (aka 18th century). And also if we all collectively dont stop and change our ways now we will all be poor undeveloped and on the brink of exctinction in the next 100-200years
you and I won't live long enough to see the ecological collapse (along with human society), but it surely will collapse, in the end, if human-industrial activity continues emitting planet-warming gases like CO2 and methane; while also decimating forests & wildlife and treating nature like an externality that doesn't matter. like it or not, we all must change our destructive ways, or perish.

The aspect that seems the most neglected in the mainstream debate, is improving the hydrological cycle with appropriate watershed patterning and constructed features. This helps with defending against flooding and preventing drought and more rampant wildfires at the same time as improving the health and stability of ecological biomes/agricultural areas as such sequestration of more soil carbon with better optimised hydration.
It also helps mitigate various other pollutions with better filtration. More hydro power without directly damming rivers also.
@ILATE gaming What? No. No not really, you cause pollution you have to mitigate it and not externalise the cost. Materials, effluent, gasses ect in wrong places is pollution, in the right places/handled the right way should be either inert or a resource even. "Net zero" implies you "off set" it by "making up" for it in a another way.
In terms of "net zero carbon emissions" seems like a nonsense concept for high emitting industry's to move allowances around on paper when in practice these activities are often doing little to nothing to restore and develop strong hydrological and carbon cycles, landscape watersheds ect. Often they're just planting too many of the wrong trees in the wrong places or something because "on paper" it represent a potential amount of carbon sequestration, in practice they might have actually not improved watersheds in the region and increased fire risks and most of them don't survive because they've not established a well balanced forest under decent ongoing management.

Turning population growth to negative in each generation would achieve a lot without anyone being forced to change his lifestyle. If each generation is 20 percent smaller than the one before, half of the problem is gone after three generations.

20 thousand years ago, before Agriculture was invented and very limited number of human beings living on earth, the sea level started to rise and it kept rising for 12 thousand years, in total for about 120 meters. All these happened under "net zero" of that age.
Don't hurt their brain with nuances.
@Gustav Malraux the problem is the sea level can go up and down more than 100 meters all by itself, again and again, even before human civilization ever existed. On the other hand, Gore's "20 feet" has been considered as a joke on both sides.
BTW we live in an Interglacial in the current ice age, which started 2.58 M years ago. Yes, we are currently living in an ice age.
We don’t live like they did 20,000 years ago. There are millions of people living in coastal areas. Where are they all going to go to. Will the infrastructure be able to cope with that influx. Throwing red herrings into the mix does absolutely nothing to prevent the disaster that is looming. Hai Wu, you need to start looking at the way you live, like we all do.

@@tsunamis82 If you don't have the ability to change earth, then you have to cope with it.
That was the end of an ice age, and the rate of Co2 change was slow, and produced by natural phenomina. That made the climate suitable for humans to thrive. The rapid intoduction of Co2 to the atmosphere over the last 200 years due to industrailisation, is not caused by natural phemonina, and is taking the climate out of a range that is suitable for humans to thrive. Do you see the difference?
It's going really well in Sri Lanka! Who needs fertilizer? 😆 Feeding a country is a little bit different than feeding a family of 3.

PS: I walk most places I need to go, otherwise, where time, distance, or weather are a factors, it's public transport - train or boat preferably or bus, rarely by air
It’s too late and politically impossible to reduce carbon emissions to reduce warming. Our only hope is technology
The fact is nobody wants to take responsibility for any of the greenhouse gasses that are being released in the atmosphere as log as that they must spend capital developing the negative emissions. Provided the situation doesn't change, we can kiss net zero goodbye.
India and US announced a programme called TECHNOLOGY BASED ENERGY SOLUTIONS: INNOVATION FOR NET ZERO.

This might be nerdy, but it’s a tad misleading to discuss pollution emissions and use stock video of nuclear plants because the stuff coming out of the stacks at those plants is water vapour, not a pollutant. However there is the storage of nuclear waste but that’s a separate issue. :)
Fossil fuel power plants and nuclear power plants look alike from distance, can’t really say which one used in this video
@@piroDYMSUS I didn’t realise that some coal/gas plants had similar looming cooling stacks for water vapour! All the power plants where I’m from that aren’t nuclear have the more traditional, thin smoke stack I guess they may have smaller production capacities.
@@buzzfletcher7132 can confirm that's a pretty standard design for cooling towers and coal plants use water generators just like nuclear plants and thus if they are big plants they also build that kind of cooling tower regardless what source of energy heats the water.

Water vapor is also a greenhouse gas actually but emitting it is not as bad as emitting other greenhouse gases because it doesn’t stay in the atmosphere for very long.

"We just need to slowly rewind and let go of modern conveniences."
OK, you go first. Then tell us how nice it is.
I think only solution is population and diet control. More people more carbon, more needed cattle/chicken etc. Agriculture is biggest emission of carbon
I'm sure certain countries will be able to achieve net zero for them, it will naturally involve increasing the carbon output of other countries though.
So ,there will be no more shipping, overseas trade, air transportation, military vehicles,,( they'll go back to using horses. no manufacturing. Best of luck
Scrap Net Zero
Consider my lifetime. 1950 = 2.5 billion people. 2021 = 8 billion. 1950 = 35 exajoules/billion. 2021 = 70 exajoules/billion. This isn't going well.
Population growing at 1.05% will double again in 66.6 years. Historically "population growth slows as a nation's wealth increases" but people are becoming poorer now. Count on hitting 11 billion consuming ever more energy, whatever the source.
Thanks for playing. Nice to have known you all.
Net Zero WEF Translation = You'll Own Nothing
The only way to achieve net zero is: 1 measure your footprint, 2 reduce emissions everywhere you can, 3 compensate your emissions by supporting negative emission initiatives (tech-based, or rather nature-based). Net-zero cannot be achieved globally though - to keep in mind!
Yes we need a revolution in our mindsets and system.
Perhaps the question should be what is a sustainable population? Perhaps the planet can only manage with 4 to 5 billion people. The politicians never talk about this but it is as relevant.
I agree with you. When the effects of planet warming really start to bite, if could wipe out fair chunk of the global population specially low to medium income countries. Unfortunately planet warming is slow moving, in fact glaciers are quicker moving than planet warming, so we don't know when the point of no return will be reached or if we have passed it.
Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson: Someone say something?
Jeff Bezos said it was impossible to reduce consumption per capita. The only solution is to colonize other planets. His intention is to set up the initial infrastructure for next generation to achieve colonization. I fully concur with him.

We will first have to make it more affordable to go to net zero because it's expensive to get solar panels on a house and also get a electric car or a self driving car. We also have to clean out our ocean as well.
To adapt to sustainable environmentally friendly living, etc is going to be very expensive yet it has to be done since planet warming is slow moving, in fact glaciers are quicker moving than planet warming, so we don't know when the point of no return will be reached or if we have passed it.
first of all, electricity only accounts for a fifth of energy use, and only a fifth of our electricity doesn't use fossil fuels, so about 5% of our energy use is from non-fossil fuels. energy is just one part of our impact like transportation is just a part of our impact. there is also land use and industry that play big roles.
plastic in the oceans has nothing to do with climate change.
A report from Bank of America has warned reaching net zero will cost the global economy $5 trillion annually for the next 30 years. Oct 19, 2021
Never going to get zero emissions it is the most dumbest thing to think that we can have zero emissions 🤣🤣🤣🤣 everyone will be jobless and homeless 😡😡
Another MAJOR reason why nations are very reluctant to achieving net zero is because we must evaluate and calculate the outcome of the forbiddance of NOT combusting 1/1,000,000,000,000,000 or 1 trillionth of a hydrocarbon atom/and/or molecule and attain, sustain, and maintain the nations' gross domestic products higher and higher every year under the demands of globalization.
Deep-sea fertilization is probably the best way to achieve substantive negative emissions. We could fertilize the oceans one year, and the following year we give the seas a break with no fertilization. This could also be followed up with alkali treatment if ocean acidification becomes a lingering issue. It's risky, but I don't think we have a choice.
You're going to need a lot of alkali to de-acidfy the oceans... and when they get too acidic, nothing's going to grow there

Gaslighting and crazymaking are one in the same - they are both terms to describe a person that wants you to feel like you’re losing your mind. They do that by causing you to distrust your own decisions and make you think that you are wrong about almost everything.
They know how to turn you from a happy, assured individual with your own thoughts and ideas into a dependent, unsure and fragile person that can’t take any steps without checking in with them first.
Emotional abuse is insidious in nature, but crazymaking is the ultimate perception destroyer. If you can’t trust your own perceptions, you don’t even know what reality is. After some time with the crazymaker, you’ll come to trust the very person causing you to distrust yourself.
I totally agree. I am a farmer who has transitioned to regenerate agriculture over the last few years, with a mission to inform others. I was a conventional farmer for many years, using the latest and best technology to solve my daily challenges, as that was what I was taught and advised by experts that I "trusted". I was also one of those "experts" giving the advice for a few years. I believe agriculture is the biggest cause of climate change and catastrophic environmental destruction evident today, ironically it is also the solution to the carbon problem, no technology needed. Just an open mind and a reality check, which is blocking the understanding of what regenerative agriculture really is and what is aims to achieve. My point being, the power of rational decision making has been taken away from the managers of land (or any individual in fact) and we are dependent on organisations to advise us on the best decision making when solving daily problems, while they profit from the sale of goods and services.

To clue people in, the entire jetstream circulation has changed from oceans too warm to allow Siberian cold to cross the N.Pacific turns it north with heat & moisture near BeringStrait a low point in topography to cool and go to low latitudes ONLY over LAND to balance equatorial overheating.
So, record cold winters will repeat until the ice is gone in 60yrs or less, check.
Then in summer it's reversed, LAND heats quickly, oceans don't so big high-pressure domes will get hotter and last longer, check.
For spice where the polar cold meets warm-moist tropical air we get floating-car sheet_runoff flooding globally, check.
At 500ppm CO2eqv +3ppm/yr =750ppm by 2100 2m/6.7ft more sealevel rising at 30.5cm/1ft per decade for several centuries, check.
Oe cannot remove CO2 below Mt.Everest air mixes too fast, and when emissions finally end, oceans outgas their excess CO2 to keep levels above 400ppm for >>120,000yrs.
Our extinction 3.5ky-5ky away with BAU, unstoppably like any glacier on Earth ending below a rising sealevel cannot be stopped from quickly melting from below by warm oceans and altered jetstreams, check.

We just need more clean and cheap renewables and to stop burning stuff.
Is this meant to be propaganda?
There is one more thing that needs considering. It's called Thermodynamics. Which says that no engine is 100% efficient. Translation: removing carbon from the atmosphere requires more energy spent than the amount of energy produced emitting it in the first place.
the right to emission is the right of development and a fundamental human right. all people living in non-industrial lands should have the right to live as great as the people living in industrial lands do such as the USA, west European countries. in contrast, developed countries like the USA, the UK have emitted much more CO2 than developing countries such as CHINA, Indien in 18th, 19th century. for fairness, the sum of emissions should be accounted in the entire period from industrial innovation to today. in this case, the developing countries can get bigger parts from this sum to cover the lack of emissions in 17th and 18th centries. in the other words, how many more co2 emissions did industrial countries emit in past centries decides the rest parts of the emission made in developing countries. at the same time, a certain limit of emission is necessary for the future of human beings as well.
Yeah no my guy you are completely wrong. the majority of pollution and emissions has happend in the last 50-100years. 18th and 19th century emissions were nowhere near those of today and thats because of globalisation and the worlds population getting much bigger. In the 17th century there were no emissions as the first industrialisation started around 1760 (aka 18th century). And also if we all collectively dont stop and change our ways now we will all be poor undeveloped and on the brink of exctinction in the next 100-200years
If we were just 500 millions people on earth it would solve the problem
I hope I live long enough to this this scam of a plan fail, as it most surely will.
you and I won't live long enough to see the ecological collapse (along with human society), but it surely will collapse, in the end, if human-industrial activity continues emitting planet-warming gases like CO2 and methane; while also decimating forests & wildlife and treating nature like an externality that doesn't matter. like it or not, we all must change our destructive ways, or perish.
