Is there a role for carbon credits in a just transition to net zero? | TED Countdown Dilemma Series
In June 2022, TED’s climate initiative, Countdown, launched its Dilemma Series: events designed to look at some of the “knots” in the climate change space, where diverging positions have stalled progress and solidified into an inability to collaborate across differences. The event focused on the question: Is there a role for carbon credits in the…

Razer’s Zephyr mask lands them in regulatory hot water | TechCrunch Minute
Gaming gear company, Razer, is under scrutiny after falsely claiming their Zephyr face mask had an N95 grade. Why is a company mostly known for glowing keyboards making a high tech mask? And why are so many companies shipping out hardware that just doesn’t work and expecting people to pay? Hardware is hard, as we’ve…

The reality is that this will end up extending Business As Usual activity. As humans we really don’t have the capacity to consider losing some aspects of modern life which we consider ‘essential’, that are inherently high-carbon-e, and a path of least resistance such as ‘offsetting’ will become the primary option for entities whose core values directly conflict with sustainable development. I look forward to seeing many rich folks being created from the incoming carbon offsetting boom. Good luck all, its gonna be a cowboy future out there.

I am 55 years old with very little set aside for retirement at this point. I have always been curious about the stock market and have witnessed some people who played the game right and retired early because they used the stock market. When I ask them, most said that they invested very little to start with, but their portfolio grew. I do have a significant amount of capital that is required to start up but I have no idea what strategies and direction I need to approach to help me make decent returns.

Buy index funds if you wanna be safe, though you are probably be better off just going to Vanguard or something for that

@Kathryn Palmer Shouldve invested earlier but if you want a very safe investment with decent returns invest in the S&P500 or other index funds, they diversify your money across multiple stocks in companies usually the top 500 of the nation/international, the S&P500 are the top 500 American stocks, do your own research before doing anything of course but just some advice.

There is only one way to reduce carbon in the atmosphere that don’t lead to tyranny. Drastically increase energy production from non-carbon emitting sources (nuclear, fusion, whatever) to a point where it becomes profitable to remove carbon from the atmosphere and make stuff with it. Problem solved. No need for any communist hippie totalitarian utopia. But I guess, this is the capitalist white men’s solution…. and that’s a no-no.

In real life this is just another tool of global oppression, Africans are being told not drill their own oil, when we make up less than 10% of global emissions. As long as the conversation doesn’t have equity then it’s just the same as before and nothing has changed.

If carbon credits are tradeable, it meams they’re aimed at poor people only.

No enough with the credits already, we are way past the time to think about , action is needed asap by converting all energy to renewables.

Keep dreaming, they’re too inefficient. If the goal is “net zero” nuclear and carbon capture are far superior options.

@Eman Puedama Maybe the starvation and fuel poverty is part of their solution?

@John Sirois
Depending on exactly what level of ‘they’ you’re talking about, and what you think they see the problem as (hint: it’s not the climate), that’s not so much a ‘maybe’ as a statement of the obvious as far as I’m concerned.

Thinking about it, I agree with the idea that it would be almost useless and ineffective to drastically reduce the extraction and use of fossil coal and I believe that the idea of providing for 2050 a system that guarantees removal from the atmosphere is the best solution! Also I believe that it will not be a process that will happen at any moment but with the right support and without problems, it can be achieved! congratulations for the great video as always!

carbon capture is a flawed technology it will always cost more energy than the carbon you are able to pull out of the system. Until we have infinite clean electricity it cant happen.

The final conclusion is……..
kill off as many humans as possible without getting caught doing it.
That’s their goal , and the tools are,
climate change, pandemics, food removal, end economy, diversify the world so a one world government can be enforced, Central Bank digital currency that is programmable and there’s more. But ,,,,when enough people are removed, the total green electric system can work as long as it don’t have a lot to do. build mega regions and stuff it with the remaining humans. The agenda has been in the works since the beginning of time when Lucifer rebelled against God. This is all his fight. Don’t fall for it. Remain faithful to our Lord in Heaven. That’s the only way to life . If you fall for the world system, you’ll be lost . God gave us this world to populate and told us to believe in him and you’d be blessed by him, when you leave God, God will leave you. See the leaders you get when your country leaves God ?? Go back to God now before it’s too late. love y’all.

No it’s not. Capture the carbon out of the air and make graphene out of it instead. It’s a revolutionary technology that would help to solve this “carbon crisis.” Then we should work toward switching over to nuclear energy instead of solar and wind. We recently got a fusion reaction successfully started. Pour more time, effort, and money into developing that nuclear technology if fission is to scary.
The Cats Pajamas

carbon capture is inherently flawed and costs more energy than you are able to get out of the system. until there is infinite clean electricity carbon capture will always output more carbon than it removes.
Dekaida
November 7, 2022 at 5:25 pm
@The Cats Pajamas Right, so nuclear to facilitate carbon capture. Also, you’re being a bit salacious when writing we would need an infinite source of electricity. There isn’t an infinite source of carbon, so that statement is incorrect.

It’s a way of making non-productivity more profitable and investable than productivity. It’s a neofeudalist, technocratic agenda of deindustrialisation and depopulation.

How naive could be a person or group of person to beleive that similar mechanism, acttitud, values that created the problem of large CO2 emissions, could be used to create a solution of that problem? 🤦🏻♂️

Do you guys read comments on your videos on youtube ? like this one. I want all speakers in this video to take 5 minutes to read and respond to comments.
Why ? Just because I want. Na Na.. It will help unite you guys and these guys , maybe someone will consider doing something.
