Fossil fuel companies know how to stop global warming. Why don’t they?

Summary

Fossil fuels include coal, petroleum, natural gas, oil shales, and etc. We use those as energy by burning, though, burning those, you know, emits a number of air pollutants that are harmful to both the environment and public health. We use it for a long time, however, it’s time to stop dumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The world has a goal that is Net zero in 2050 to protect the earth.

Net-zero refers to the balance between the amount of greenhouse gas produced and the amount removed from the atmosphere.

And then, the speaker suggests decarbonizing fossil fuels. His decarbonize is not decarbonize the economy but decarbonize the fuels themselves. It’s to capture the carbon dioxide from industries, filter it, compress it, and re-inject it back underground. If we can’t capture the carbon dioxide at the time of occurrence, we recapture it!!, and take it back out of the atmosphere. The cost is high, though, we have to do it. Now, technology growing is great. Young engineers must do it well with our cooperation. It’s not enough to ban fossil fuels. Reach net-zero emissions by 2050.
