Not Zero: How an Irrational Target Will Impoverish You, Help China (and Won't Even Save the Planet)

I’d have one simple question to G. Schmidt. As he rightfully points out in this 2010 paper there is a “single factor removal” (SFR) and a “single factor addition” (SFA) by GHGs to the GHE. The difference is about the overlapped component and it is quite substantial. The carbon sequestration technology could be scaled up by 2050 sufficent to help stop warming go above 2 degrees, if there was a will to do this. The time frames are more manageable. You only have to look at WW2 the massive shift to manufacturing military technology to see whats possible if people want, but the trouble is climate change does not engender the same degree of urgency. I have to confess I’m not that hopeful. Wallin, Nils-Bertil (19 November 2002). "The History of Zero". YaleGlobal online.

Modern computers store information in binary, that is, using an "alphabet" that contains only two symbols, usually chosen to be "0" and "1". Binary coding is convenient for digital electronics, where "0" and "1" can stand for the absence or presence of electrical current in a wire. [72] Computer programmers typically use high-level programming languages that are more easily intelligible to humans than the binary instructions that are directly executed by the central processing unit. 0 plays various important roles in high-level languages. For example, a Boolean variable stores a value that is either true or false, and 0 is often the numerical representation of false.

There is much we can do, but Quaker meetings cannot eliminate their carbon emissions entirely without wider changes to our economy and society – that is why climate action means working for system change, not just individual change. To imply otherwise risks letting governments off the hook.

The British government has embarked on an ambitious and legally-binding climate change target: reduce the country's greenhouse gas emissions to Net Zero by 2050. The Net Zero policy was subject to almost no parliamentary or public scrutiny, and is universally approved by our political class.
