To stop the world from heating, and halt climate change, we need net zero. But how? How could we get humanity’s overall emissions to zero? And is this global warming goal just a pipe dream? Now the International Energy Agency (IEA) have highlighted a plan to get there by 2050, with the goal of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees. So what does the plan look like… and could it actually work?!

Thanks to Richard Black for sanity checking my IEA description.

Quick note! The IEA report is all about reaching net zero by 2050, but the latest research (published just a couple of days ago) indicate this is likely insufficient for limiting warming to 1.5°C. Still… as I've always said: every fraction of a degree matters. And it's never too late to stop punching ourselves in the face. Net zero in 2050 would still be worlds better than net zero in 2060!
I would strongly recommend you watch Mark Mills, The Energy Transition Delusion.
hydroelectric…
Absolute bollocks.
Great Video
Oh my god we’re all doooooooomed! 😩😩😫
You don't get to net zero, it is a load of bullocks designed to control populations. Why do the predictions being forecast not match what is actually happening? Why is it there is no science that categorically confirms that 0.4 percent of the earth's atmosphere (co2) is causing temperature rises? Your whole spiel is just scaremoungering propoganda
CO2 is the lifeblood of the planet. Co2 levels have been dangerously low for centuries. Watch what happens to vegetation when CO2 levels drop below 300ppm.
This guy is preying on people with a certain mindset, 'chicken little syndrome' or an abundance of self loathing.
What a great big con stop it nothing is wrong with the world grew up stop the lying
If this is a climate degree from Uni I am a Dutchman. Getting from 100 Gigawatts to 400 gigawatts by 2050 he doesn’t know what. I am even talking about.
..net zero???….keep dreaming climate catatrophists…oh, and lying….
Check out Climate to movie!
utter delusion.
If only schools taught about climate change 😓😞
Serious question, not intended to be rude. Where have these technologies been implemented and stood up to the changing seasons, day and night etc. As people like myself are ignorent of tbe topic id seriously like to know.
climate change has been discussed tor decades and in the recent years the USA and many countries have spent and are spending billions to fund green deals. So I wonder where the money even goes as every year we get told we will die, but that’s another topic.
Net zero by 2050 is a fucking scam they should make targets for small periods of time like every year , neet zero by 2050 is just another scheme to fool public and make money for big oil
Integrating poultry with agriculture will help a lot and going vegan would be even better
Less population would help a lot i mean policies regarding how many children people can have
7:35 recycling is the only option otherwise they are ready to dig oceans
Why aren't farmers shifting to permaculture , agroforestry and integrated farming and all that stuff ?
Dear Climate Adam – there's a critical problem with your discussions: you do not include any real worldly politics in what you describe should be government's goals. In many places there is the threat of war, or grinding poverty, or neo-colonial exploitation of resources, or corruption, or disinterest in the (secondary) issues of climate change. Until climate theorists start to connect programs of CC action to current real political situations – you sound like an optimist stuck in a lab somewhere staring at graphs. The attitude of – "We can do it if only we find the will…" – is useless and the past 20 years has already shown this in 2024. Who is 'we' and who benefits and who loses?
Very dramatic video. But nothing has been achieved up to now. With the technology and way things have been done. Nothing will be achieved.
Have you done a deep dive on Vaclav Smil. After watching some of his talks, I'm really worried that our target dates for net zero are so unrealistic and I think his points should be talked about. I do like degrowth (in a societies day to day kind of way) movement but I really think normies will take a long time to change (generations of time) and right now we have changed our world for the worse, for at least several centuries.
turn off half the city lights at night would be a considerable saving all round!!!
Just how is this affordable following the covid debacle? CBDC’s??? How about returning to Dickensian london? What a crock 🥱😴😴
SAY NO TO NET ZERO
Total BS is never going to happen ! BS is deep in this video !
The man is a fool!
If they were really so worried, why would they allow hugely populated countries like China, India and Russia to just carry on regardless? China has over 1100 coal-fired power stations. Here in the UK we are being penalised when in fact the UK is responsible for less than 1% of World carbon emissions. So, if they are so concerned about it, target China, India and Russia. So the next time someone talks about net zero, say: "By the way, did you know that the biggest polluters are China, India and Russia, NOT the UK! The UK accounts for less than 1% of Carbon emissions".
