Climate Solutions: Reaching Net Zero Emissions
We know from the IPCC reports that the world needs to reach net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions within 30 years. But what would that look like? Is it even possible for us to completely stop emitting greenhouse gasses?
I didn’t even know the answer to that question when I started this series, despite having read fairly widely on the climate crisis. But I have become convinced that it is not unrealistic to reduce our GHG almost to zero — say by 95% or more — within that timeframe. this article is an overview of what that would look like for the United States.

ECO-nomics: Creating True Wealth by Addressing the Climate Crisis
