NET ZERO: Carbon Offsetting
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 сер 2024
- It’s like buying credit in the world’s carbon bank: carbon offsetting is paying towards schemes that reduce greenhouse gases. Is it helpful - or a convenient way of greenwashing our pollution?

Great show. Thank you for addressing these issues in depth and with integrity. Couldn’t we create a heckuva Lotta jobs hiring people to go around holding companies people and everyone’s feet to the fire so to speak. Seems to me, Enforcing the honesty factor is a monumental task in itself, never mind the actual work. The conscience of humankind will need to be held accountable with a whole new immense box of tools and a work force to proficiently put them to use.Shame, shame shame.!!!

Plant giant bamboo in tropics and subtropics, sequesters 3x faster than trees… bamboo as grass regenerates…
Make sure land tenure/ ownership is clear.. planting trees are easy, but who will maintain and own the trees.. Plant needle leave trees, such as pine trees, grow fast or sequester carbon faster
I have been looking at how efficient car engines since the 1970S. My dad was an auto mechanic and he could get car mileage from his 1955 Chevy V-8 that most fuel stingy cars of today can't get close to. Car engine efficiency, to me has decreased slightly since 1970s but fuel injection and turbocharging has reversed that.
That car had virtually no CO2 emissions, but heaps of CO emissions.
Where does it end??
I am at 1m30s & already see a problem with the graphics, the omission of CO in relation to vehicle emissions, treating them as being CO2, the gas I exhale.
Define the apocalypse !!!!
Or what???? What will happen exactly if not met...did the UN have a chat with God ??
Carbon zero is NOT about carbon
