“It is possible, for CO2 alone, to limit emissions to 650 gigatons, which corresponds to 1.6 degrees warming, and if you do something with methane on top of that, 1.5 degrees is still within reach.
The iPhone disrupted the media, and solar and batteries will be such a disruptive technology, because they’re cheaper and better. People underestimate how fast it will go. In 1945 it was all steam locomotives and by 1960 they were all diesel electric, only 15 years to change a gigantic system, because the new technology was cheaper and better.”
” The former ***McKinsey & Company*** partner founded Oslo-based Rystad Energy, an independent research and energy intelligence company that sells data and analysis on oil, gas, coal and renewable forms of energy”
It’s LITERALLY the second sentence. How does anyone keep reading about the “bright side” of climate change? The “energy strategist” is trying to encourage fossil fuels, not stop climate change.
CO2 emissions are still growing. We still haven’t reached peak fossil. Masking and cascading effects lag behind. I don’t see where “the numbers” warrant that optimism.
Optimism is rare, and I’m going to bask in it for a few minutes. Fuck what the comments here probably say, since Reddit has never churned out anything but wannabe comedians, critics, and cynics.
We’re beyond 1.5c already. We’re STILL burning more fossil fuels with each passing year…we can’t even stay steady at this point year over year.
