Carbon dioxide levels in the air are higher than they have been in 650,000 years. The global temperature has increased 2°F since 1880. Arctic ice is declining at a rate of 12.85% per decade.
Some companies have pledged a carbon-neutral plan, which would involve offsetting their carbon emissions with positive impacts, such as tree planting. However, many of these plans towards carbon-neutrality are set to take decades that we simply don’t have, and offsetting carbon emissions is not enough, we need to pledge towards net-zero carbon emissions.
We need new technology to replace our current combustion and emissions practices, and we need it fast.
