It means obeying orders from z british n usa regimes
NET ZERO = ZERO CARBON.
ZERO CARBON = ZERO LIFE.
Better title maybe? What does net zero mean and what each of us are willing to do to get there
The United States has more than double the per capita carbon emissions than China. If the US's per capita carbon emissions were the same as China's, our total emissions would go down by more than 2.5 billion tons per year.
It means rich megamillionairs make money on subsidies from poorer hard working tax payers.
BCA has spent a lot of money and time sinking every climate change action in the past twenty years. Yeah they are interested in honest conversation. Just Like big tobacco
Ocean and maritime pollution.Tons of harmful chemicals Plastic pebbles released over the sea day by day. Will they able to pay a several billion dollar claim to the uncountable destruction these Multinational companies have done to the future generation.
Hahah business council of Australia outing themselves “the discussion we have been having in the past is whether we should” “do the right thing”
15:33 god damn this guy is annoying. Yes let’s shame people for not taking a flight. That’ll get us to a net zero world.
All this gobbledegook about limits and targets means absolutely ZERO if you do not get a serious commitment from the worlds leading ommiter The PRC..who have openly stated that they will not abide by and targets set by the IOCC and why should they since they are in control of the UN who control those people. My country Australia has met lor exceeded their imposed targets and our total annual emmissions do nor even add up to the annual INCREASE of carbon output of dirty knees and they have in motion construction of 153ore coal fired power stations throughout that country. They say they are a developing nation and deserve some freedoms from constraints imposed on their economy…the second largest economy on the planet. WHO is kidding WHO.. nothing but lies from the worlds biggest bullshitters. Wake up if you expect people to take notice of you you need to be fair and even handed and enforce controls on the worlds biggest ommitter by far
No need to worry about forests now. COP 26 has agreed that no forests to be cut down from 2030. There may be a huge increase in destruction until 31st December 2029 releasing the stored carbon sink held by that forest and there will be less forest to soak up the CO2 until then. The promise to protect world forest in 2014 at the New York COP, appears to have failed. Still any new forest planted will start to sequester the CO2 and produce oxygen. After all, to sequester enough CO2 to replace the carbon in a destroyed forest will only take aboiut 300 years and will not be 100% efficient until the forest has finished the replacement of the original trees. Depending on the tree species, very little CO2 is absorbed until the tree reaches its maximum girth so very little is added to the carbon sink in the new forested area!
By COP 50, very few humans will be left on this planet!
ATTENTION ABC-Australia:
I am confused as to this hard-on you have for the US. NO mention of Russia & China's carbon footprint in your cherry-picked data. Need I remind you of who DIDN'T attend the latest global warming meeting? Just in case the news doesn't get down under, it was RUSSIA AND CHINA!
I cannot in good conscience share your skewed reporting. Get back to the middle instead of Rupert Murdoch's twisted world-view.
Net zero means that countries all agree to slow down killing the earth. It's just some jargon that politicians use to confuse people into thinking that oh, it's going to get better because we are stopping climate change. Net zero means that those already burning tonnes of fossil WILL continue to burn the same amount until what 2030-2060? Another way to see this is they all agreed to kill the earth at slower rate.
The US has reduced coal using natural gas through fracking which has half the emissions coal has. They’re at 1992 levels and have reduced usage more than the next 10 countries combined.
Hope no ones bought into scummos clear lie.. Sorry, plan.
Irrelevant. Nobody, and I mean nobody, believes for one second that anything concrete will be done to halt climate change. We've been lied to too often.
the only zero that we will get is the promised of the politicians!
Net zero is code for "do nothing"
Hearing an Australian journalist say, biggest emitter is China is like watching a drug dealer blame the addict for being an addict..
Australia could stop selling China the coal of course, but then scotty from marketing would have to go back to selling second hand cars..
How about a bit of honesty. The US has twice the emissions of China on a per capita basis. China is investing double (at least) the US commitment in clean energy technologies.
Your coloring is extremely unfair.
Stan Grant! Australia's own version of Orange Man Bad…….
Business can never fix this as they don't have the monetary power, that's why we have governments…
My personal view is that these targets are unachievable by 2050 and it is more likely will not be reached until the end of the century .The only way the world can generate sufficient electricity without the use of fossil fuels is to use nuclear energy. And as long as free market capitalism reigns supreme countries with large oil and gas reserves (Russia) will want to exploit them . What the world needs is a global epidemic to break out that will cut the world population by half
Dreamers!
Abc is crap
Cool pyramid scheme
dear dr adi . you must be a proctologist . i love your point that because something is dangerous means that you should do it more .
China built coal power stations to use Australian coal. Oh dear. China is not building anymore coal powered electricity stations overseas. Also they have built more solar and wind farms by far They are using changing to electric vehicles. They are more action than talk. Shame about other countries. Scott Morrison and his plan? What plan?
This video was doing welll until the last couple of guests. But I will give one thing: Green hydrogen is a good opportunity to reduce emissions for the many existing uses for hydrogen, and perhaps other new ones. But as an energy carrier, it's largely a non-starter.
