Is carbon neutrality a realistic goal? What would it take to get there?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we look for solutions to climate change, the elimination of carbon emissions seems to be near the top of everyone’s list. However, this is not a practical solution, at least for now. That’s the view of former energy industry scientist Steven E. Koonin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read on to learn why Koonin believes we must accept the reality of our reliance on fossil fuels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Our Reliance on Fossil Fuels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As Koonin notes, one straightforward response to climate change involves eliminating carbon emissions altogether. Indeed, the IPCC claims this response is actually necessary <\/em>to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement\u2014an international climate accord among 196 nations<\/a> that aims to keep warming below 2\u00b0C by 2100. Koonin, however, argues that eliminating carbon emissions by 2100 is practically impossible<\/strong> because growing energy demands (requiring our further reliance on fossil fuels) preclude such a radical overhaul of the energy system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: The Paris Agreement is unlikely to meet its main goals. First, the UN\u2019s own climate scientists reported that the Paris Agreement won\u2019t keep global warming below 2\u00b0C<\/a> by 2100, even if all participating countries keep their promises. Moreover, though wealthy members of the Paris Agreement promised to raise $100 billion by 2020 to establish a climate fund for impoverished countries, that goal was also not met<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make his argument, Koonin first cites projections that worldwide energy demands will increase by 50% by 2050. Moreover, fossil fuels are still projected to account for 70% of global energy by 2050. Because fossil fuels\u2014which emit CO2 <\/sub>when burned\u2014are expected to play a crucial role in fulfilling these energy needs, Koonin reasons that eliminating CO<\/strong>2<\/sub><\/strong> emissions altogether would require transforming the energy system<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Experts estimate that, at our current rate of clean energy expansion, it would take about 400 years<\/a> to develop an energy system capable of keeping global warming below 2\u00b0C. Given some estimates that we only have until 2030 to avert climate catastrophe<\/a>, however, overhauling the energy system in 400 years is likely far too late.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, he argues that such an overhaul would require emissions constraints that are enforced worldwide; otherwise, high-emissions activities would relocate to areas that lack these constraints. However, this would require impoverished countries to voluntarily stunt their growth by forswearing much-needed emissions\u2014emissions that could otherwise help address pressing problems like housing, transportation, and water sanitation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, given the degree of self-sacrifice required, Koonin concludes that a globally coordinated effort to eliminate carbon emissions is unlikely to occur. Rather, he claims that fossil fuels will continue to play a pivotal role in meeting our energy needs for the foreseeable future, making the transition to carbon neutrality impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: In False Alarm<\/em><\/a>, Lomborg likewise claims that developing countries are unlikely to switch to clean energy, given the costs to their economies. Consequently, he argues that stimulating economic growth in these countries<\/a> is itself <\/em>an important climate policy\u2014for instance, by funding schools that teach marketable skills and opening up markets to international trade.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
