        Yes, net zero, which some companies and countries pledged to reach until 2050. Unfortunately it’s delusional, because they count on technological fixes being invented in the future and until then it’s “business as usual”.

        Industries like cement, chemical and steel will never be net zero without carbon capture for example.

          Organic plant based cement is already a possibility, yet we’re still using the good old mixes purely to avoid change

      I feel like this is closer to the truth. Isn’t there a theory that theres about a 2 decade lag between the CO2 (or equivalent) being released and the effects of heating?
