Attempting to slow the impact of global warming requires rapid and far-reaching transitions to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide. By 2030, global net human-caused emissions would need to decline by 45 percent from 2010 levels and be at zero by 2050. Any remaining emissions would need to be balanced by removing CO2 from the atmosphere. […]
Electric vehicle adoption rates have been outperforming expectations in recent years. They have consistently outperformed year-on-year growth expectations.

Carbon dioxide is one of the major greenhouse gases. It is produced naturally by animals and plants. When plants do not have enough oxygen, they exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen. However, if too much carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere, it can be dangerous. If the carbon dioxide concentration becomes high enough, it can […]
A renewable source of energy is a carbon-free, non-depleting source of energy. Unlike fossil fuels, renewable energy is not limited by our resources. There are numerous renewable sources of energy, including bioenergy. While it may produce carbon dioxide, its emissions are less than the amount it pulls from the atmosphere. Unfortunately, some forms of bioenergy […]
