Hey Chapos, I was hoping for some help on a paper I need to write for my Energy and Politics class, prompt is What does the goal of net-zero carbon emissions in practice? What five measures would you propose for achieving net-zero by later this century?

Need some help finding some good articles to use, but any arguments I use have to remain fairly unbased, mostly just planning on dunking on the Paris Climate Agreement and whatnot.

Thanks U <3<3<3<3<3<3

    What does the goal of net-zero carbon emissions in practice?

    W...What? Is there a word missing? Maybe an 'entail' or something?

    Anyways, I'd check out some recent reports by the IPCC, kinda dependent on what your line of argument is going to be - but you should find plenty of ammunition along the lines of 'what we're doing isn't nearly enough' in there.

    Don't forget to dunk on carbon capture btw https://www.greenamerica.org/fight-dirty-energy/amazon-build-cleaner-cloud/coal-carbon-capture-and-storage-not-solution

      Yeah the best carbon capture technology we have is trees. Low tech, and very effective at capturing carbon from the atmosphere lol.
