UN climate experts say our future is threatened by rising global temperatures. We are already experiencing more heat waves, forest fires and flooding. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) says it is crucial to take immediate action to reduce greenhouse gases.
The European Union aims to reduce CO2 emissions and become carbon neutral by 2050, using the Green Deal as its road map. The German government has already agreed to more ambitious climate targets. By 2030, it aims to cut carbon emissions by 65 percent compared to 1990 levels. As the EU’s largest industrial nation and its biggest emitter of carbon dioxide, Germany could be a trailblazer for the rest of Europe.
The German economy faces massive restructuring. Could Germany soon be carbon neutral? Or are the climate targets just a load of hot air?
The automotive industry signals the challenges of such a transformation. In early 2021, Mercedes was still calling vehicles with gasoline-powered engines the company’s "cash machine." Models are still being sold that weigh several tonnes and guzzle up more than 10 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. But is the end of the internal combustion engine drawing near?
Economist Claudia Kemfert says cities need to stop concentrating on individual mobility and instead focus on public transportation and the needs of pedestrians and cyclists. The expert from the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW) says many vehicles in cities are stationary most of the time, wasting valuable real estate that could be turned into green spaces or playgrounds. She envisions a shift from privately-owned cars to car-sharing services.
Experts agree there’s a lack of infrastructure and investment when it comes to making the transition to environmentally friendly technologies. There are too many regulatory hurdles. Gunnar Groebler, the CEO of German steelmaker Salzgitter, wants to use green hydrogen to make his company climate-friendly and equipped for the future. But he knows it won’t be easy. "There’s a chance we’ll mess it up," says Groebler.
With the Green Deal, the EU aims to deploy new strategies and fund sustainable investments. Not everyone may be happy about it, but the transformation of the economy is gaining momentum. The plans are on the table, but the problems implementing them are also apparent. "We need to double the pace," says German Environment Minister Svenja Schulze. "The restructuring affects the whole of society."

@@radoomiron93 Atomic power is a huge dilemma. Yes, the waste generated is immensely less in volume and mass.

i had high hopes for nuclear, but on further research it turns out to make nuclear reactors takes ages is very expensive and requires very rare metals that we dont have enough of. the renewable i hear the least about is the one that has the greatest potential because the resources to make it are so abundant and that is hydrosolar. using mirrors and magnifying glasses to boil water which powers turbines etc. hot countries with a lot of desert would become absolute power houses. the middle east and north africa could generate insane amounts of energy. but for whatever reason its not being done, these countries would rather continue selling their oil and commit suicide.

Nuclear power in Germany is like blasphemy, they won't do it. In the documentary they talk a lot about green hydrogen but green hydrogen requires 50 KWh of electricity per kg of Hydrogen produced. So it easy to realize how difficult will be to produce plenty of Hydrogen with intermittent wind power. Other countries like France, Finland, Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Romania, Slovenia and Bulgaria will probably increase their nuclear capacity if the atom is included in the green taxonomy.

@MICKEYISLOWD 2 года назад

I have studied Abrupt Climate Change now for about 6 yrs. The truth of the matter is every year we are warming up as Co2 levels rise and the last time I looked it was about Co2 425ppm. The last time Co2 was this high was millions of yrs ago and sea levels were 50 ft higher. The seas are rising it's just there is a lag of a few decades for the Co2 to trap the heat and melt enough of the ice. Forests are dying just like this all over the northern hemisphere. The point is if we all together make these changes now we have as chance of escaping catastrophe by the skin of our teeth but leaving it any later means we will hit that tipping point where instead of being a buffer to Co2 overload it becomes a net contributor and then there is absolutely nothing we can do about it and we face the worst future you could imagine with states collapsing and wars everywhere over meager resources. Imagine being in that situation when you will know we could of been on the cusp of a revolution in how we care our only planet in a sharing economy. Profitability coming first has to go. It's this decade or never I'm sorry to say.

@martiansoon9092 2 года назад

It is BS that making cement needs loads of energy. Current Portland cement needs it, but even in Roman times there were cement making that used way less heating. And we have already making same kind of cement in ie. Finland. This plummets the CO2 emission to only 20% of Portland cement's emissions. Why not to turn all cement making to these products??? Of course these variants has some downfalls, like harder to find a correct mixture, but if we concentrate our R&D then we most likely find solutions that are not so demanding. Also some mixes are even absorbing more CO2 than production makes... Also why not produce more wood buildings instead of dead concrete ones? Wood in many cases is even better material than cement. Please stop producing stupid emission producing and energy intensive varieties like Portland cement.

The energy cost of destroying a working functional airport is beyond any green politico to argue. You need to stop this flip flop politics with no direction....nuts ! the sensible suggestion is to open the first electric air transport hub. Add green office and industrial facilities. A small ow density residential village living off green energy and water storage. Electric aircraft hubs are the future with localised work and living developments to stop distance commuting pollution. The quiet electric airport, green work and living environment will be the best green option. This prevents radical green pollutions destroying the accumulated energy and co2 been wasted by mad pollutions who want to create a political point rather than a UK sensible approach. Building electric cars planes or solar panel seems the best solution. Tempelhof was also planned to be an electric light aviation airport. Wonder how many hard won bits of infrastructure will be destroyed by the radical green lobbies at our expense.?

Carbon neutral by 2050 will mean that people living in the EU will pay much more for transport, there will be energy poverty, middle class will suffer. This winter I am seeing how high gas prices have harsh impact on my family. Our energy supplier have gone bankrupt because it could not procure gas and electricity for our households. It is same for million households here in Czechia. Our energy prices have tripled or quadrupled as our prepayment. I have to pay just for small household every month approximately 700 euros for gas, and for electricity 300 euros. My wage is 1000 euros, so therefore I have to eat nothing or dirt. It is caused by high gas from Russia, absolutely crazy policy of Merkel and Germany to shut down all nuclear plants and making electricity from gas (which therefore soars in price). Meanwhile sun is not shining and wind is not blowing so renewables are just shithole for taxpayers money. So after children that are on strikes with their newest Iphones and politicians in their ivory towers will see that they suddenly can not afford decent living in warm house with electricity, then all plans will disappear just as their words in the wind. And if they will not see, middle class will be heard. Because we want decent living and not eating cakes.

Check out how nations are buying carbon credits as opposed to actually cutting down on carbon. Then there's the likes of Australia who claim to have found a way to store carbon, but the process in turn either creates more carbon, or gradually leaks it all out anyways. We're being swindled everywhere with this stuff. It's all political point scoring in a game with the little guy can not compete, only comply.

'WE' can take care of the environment - if 'we' all, as individuals, actually did something, and less people stood about blaming governments, companies, and the media. In Britain, we have a saying 'Actions speak louder than words,' and it's very true. Plant trees (if you don't have a suitable garden, join a tree-planting group. If there isn't a group - start one). Some people are still in a position to grow a few native trees from seed for a local group (not difficult. I grow trees from seed and bushes from cuttings all the time, every year, hundreds of them). If you're not the gardening type - support a charity that is. It's estimated that the CO2 created by the 'average' person in their lifetime can be offset by 72 full-grown trees. There that's a good target for you.

It's an absolutely rubbish concrete manufacturer's proposal to "capture the carbon" from limestone and turn it into "green fuel"! However you chemically transform the carbon from limestone, it is still fossil carbon, and if burnt as fuel, it still ends up in the atmosphere, so it is not neutral. The processing involved, even using renewable hydrogen, will probably mean the system would not break even for years, and other genuine carbon capture mechanisms developed will make it a non-starter.

As always the correct answer will be somewhere between the extremes (lobbyist and hardcore idealists). On the one hand something needs to happen. Fast. So the lobbyists are barking up the incorrect tree. On the other people will really want to still have the option for personal vehicles. So attempts at radical lifestyle changes is also largely a fool's errand. Of course more friendly public transport is always a worthy goal. That was true even with old, unsustainable tech. It is noteworthy that in many cases automotive lobby groups combated public transportation initiatives. So there is a certain level of guilt and debt there ultimately. Such shenanigans have had wide-ranging effects, deeply, socially, culturally on the world. They've, to an extent, made the modern world in their image. I think what the automotive world really needs is to go a bit backwards and sideways on metrics like size, performance, features and luxury. There is honestly zero reason for some of the decadence other than as "cash machines" for the manufacturers. People with true style wouldn't even be seen dead in some of the more flamboyant creations on the world's roads. The decadence is out of control. The only real appeal is in the act of signalling to peers that individuals drive something that looks a bit like whatever is being advertising. So yeah while I do sympathise with the growth figures of traditional automakers who hold these metrics near and dear to heart; They need to take a chill pill and bring the world what it really needs. Light, practical, affordable, environmentally friendly vehicles. Even Tesla, which is growing super fast is not doing it by bringing the cars to market that the WORLD needs. That Norway needs yes. The EU largely. The US to an extent. The wealthy are covered. The WORLD needs a new breed of personal transportation for the rest to make a meaningful difference. Like the bottom 90% in the US, and those in developing economies. The push to keep the old decadence desirable needs to end. If the simpler, more practical, design considerations from 30-40 years ago were to hold sway today (minus the ICE) then the necessary transition would be vastly more achievable. And it should be remembered that fortunes were made then too. Put more sustainable personal transportation within reach of the man on the street and more fortunes can be made. We are talking about billions of vehicles here. No matter how you cut it. The pie is large.

There are no idealists. There are people saying we need to completely change how we do things or we face a civilisation collapse, and people living in denial, happy to continue murdering millions of people every year, happy to let children choke on pollution. Attempts at a radical lifestyle are not a fools’ errand. They *will* happen within the decade, either willingly or because most of your family will die in a catastrophe like the flood that killed hundreds in the Ahre Valley a few months ago, or a hurricane like in Czekia. There's no doubt about that. Either you get rid of your car or your car will kill your family on front of your eyes.

@@joeblack4436 I'm just listening to science. Civilization-ending events are likely unless we completely rethink how we use energy. That’s not extreme, at all: that’s the overwhelming, unanimous scientific concensus. Science or climate doesn’t care about what is "within reach of humanity" or "political consensus": it will take all those puny reserves and moderation and crush them in a hurricane or drown them in a flood or who cares what because you will not matter. This _will_ happen unless you radically change. Whether you care to change, that’s up to you but the consequences are not negociable.

@joeblack4436 2 года назад

@@bertilhatt "Rethink". What I'm talking about is a complete rethink. From a decadent status quo, to a vastly more sustainable paradigm. Not perfect. Not 100% ideal. Yet... Achievable. I think you may be ignorant of what we are at present capable of. I follow this matter closely. Sustainable personal transportation is an achievable goal. At the same time of course much can be done on other fronts. The car problem magnified several times over due to the way cities and neighbourhoods have been designed (suburban sprawl). And yet again through the way we work (endless commutes and interminable grid lock). Where we grow and transport our food. Etc. Etc. Many problems have to be solved, and in the medium term we can only solve each of them so far. But each success can be a stepping stone to a more benign paradigm. As somebody who solves problems for a living I can tell you it is a fool's errand to insist on instant perfection. It will take longer to go directly for that, than to take strategic steps. Instant perfection from what is now might very well be impossible to achieve. Iteration. Milestones. Overcoming individual impediments. Diligence. This is how problems are solved. Never some pie in the sky monolithic one step solution.

According to the Vostok Ice Core Records, CO2 reacts to global temperature at an 800-year-lag, not the other way around. This translates to our current CO2 levels being a result of the Medieval Warm Period (approximately 1200 CE). Reducing our CO2 emissions is not going to have an effect on Climate Change, a natural global cycle that cannot be stopped. Charging taxes and asking for funding to fight something unstoppable, something that is not our fault, is a con that uses guilt to persuade the majority of people who are too busy to research every claim our bureaucrats make.

@mathboy8188 2 года назад

First, if you understood anything about this subject, you'd know what your _"current CO2 is the 800-lag from the Medieval Optimum"_ is obviously ridiculous (for several reasons). But the bigger point here is, do you sincerely imagine that you - who knows nothing and is just banging out nonsense in RU-vid comments - have somehow figured out the science better than generations worth of humanity's PhD research scientists who've spent their professional lives understanding this complex technical subject?
