•    Why Net Zero Changes Everything
We have been in an emissions Reduction Paradigm for decades. The Reduction paradigm was dominated by questions about whether climate change was real, anthropogenic, and worth the effort to combat. Options to reduce emissions were limitless, with only more efficient systems of energy, transportation, shelter etc., required. In an emissions elimination paradigm, defined by the net-zero by 2050 target, all key questions have been answered, and we need fundamental retooling of our primary systems. There are few options for functional net zero systems, so our optionality of achieving success in an elimination paradigm is much less than in a reduction paradigm. This talk will explore the fundamental differences between an emissions reduction and emissions elimination paradigm.
