Hint: Reducing them isn’t the answer.
Hamburgers and fossil fuels are both dense sources of energy, and society has made them convenient. That doesn’t mean they’re good for us.
Solares Geoengineering ist riskant – sehr riskant sogar. Dasselbe gilt aber auch für die Abhängigkeit von fossilen Brennstoffen und den Klimawandel. Trotzdem emittieren wir weiterhin CO2. Nehmen wir das richtige Risiko in Kauf?
Instead of waiting until 2030, Europe should rip the Band-Aid off now
One-off events like Deepwater Horizon leave a lasting impression, but the normal burning of fossil fuels has an even worse impact.
A multi-trillion-dollar global investment seems massive. But the closer you look, the smaller the numbers become.
The severity of the climate crisis necessitates a new look at nuclear power
Investing in the next generation of nuclear reactors could give the world an important tool for reducing carbon emissions.
Acting early can change the entire trajectory of a pandemic — or the global climate crisis
