Special Topic: Solutions to reach net-zero

The planet needs to go on a carbon diet.

Our current catastrophes—devastating wildfires, stronger hurricanes, and rising seas—are consistent with the warnings scientists made in the 1980s and 1990s. Past burning of fossil fuels, including oil, coal, and natural gas, has released greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and caused the earth to warm by 2° Fahrenheit (a bit more than 1° Celsius) since the pre-industrial era (1880-1900). 

Climate Central continues to produce an intensive series on solutions to cut carbon emissions and accelerate toward a net-zero future.
