10 thoughts on "What does ‘net zero’ actually mean?"

  1. Netzero means paying new taxes over something invisible like CO2. It is a scheme, a fraud. Part of the scientific comunity does not agree with the theory that men is heating the planet. In the meantime, low weight plastic that ends its life in the ocean keeps being produced…

  2. There is a mechanism designed to perfectly capture and convert co2. Every plant on earth does just that. As co2 increases, the number of these perfectly suited mechanisms increases also. So, we don’t need to attempt to achieve net zero, it’s already taken care of.

  3. what they don't tell is that Co2 is not our main problem its the other green house gass and heavy metals that are tge problem for example they don't tell you that Nitrogen oxides are 80× more potent green house gas than co2 and that the oceans that they are distroying are the biggest Co2 sink on this planet the also don't tell you that although trees take in Co2 during the day they actually release 50% of the Co2 absorbed during the day back into the atmosphere during the night

  4. Net zero is a scam.

    We have decades to prove that all this has done is prevent progress towards stopping climate change. The reality is that dramatic change is going to become necessary to fix the climate.

    We cant afford for industry to use any form of carbon capture to justify their carbon emmisions. Industry will need to find a way around it or they will need to be phased out.

    What would a world without the airline industry look like? Quite different, that's for sure. Still, we need to not only stop producing so many greenhouse gases, we need to reverse levels. Any form of greenhouse gas extraction needs to be done in excess of emission reductions, not as a means of offsetting them

    This sort of thinking may have seemed possoble 20 years ago when it was first pushed. Now we have 20 years of a complete lack of progress to prove how much of a lie it actually is.

    Industry needs to make real changes or emission taxes and fines will need to be levied to the point that industry that can't or won't change will be priced out of existance.

    If an industry cannot change its emission levels, we need to stop viewing them as necessary and find replacements. Cement for example, emits enormous amounts of greenhouse emissions. There is already a big push to change architecture back to wood frames.

    Wood frame construction prevents to need for cement and it also stores carbon in the wood.

    The airline industry consumes huge amounts of energy to move people and things quickly. One of the things we all will need to change is how much energy we focus on transportation.

    A lot of changes are going to be necessary to remove a huge protion of greenhouse gas emissions from transportation and it will likely mean slowing down.

    Getting out of flying in favor of shipping, etc. Public transportation instead of millions of cars stuck in traffic. Trains instead of highways.
