Folkets Forum: False climate solutions
Net zero emissions, carbon offsetting and renewable energy are presented as key solutions to the green transition, but are they really sustainable?
The climate crisis and the need to phase out fossil fuels have triggered new innovations. It is tempting to rely on these technical solutions and continue with business as usual.
However, the transition from fossil dependence to renewable has its downsides. What are the consequences for environment and people where the minerals needed would be extracted? And what happens when tree plantations are established to allow continued extraction of fossil fuels?
