Episode Summary: In this CarbonSessions episode, hosts Leekei, Jenn, Kristina, and Olabanji dive into the intricacies of 'net zero,' a term increasingly used by governments and companies.
But what does it genuinely mean? Does it equate to offsetting? And importantly, how does it contribute to addressing the climate crisis?
Inspired by a video from science communicator and astrophysicist Sabine Hossenfelder, Leekei shares her insights, shedding light on the complexities of these climate-related concepts.
The episode reveals that a lack of understanding can leave us susceptible to greenwashing and manipulation in climate discourse, highlighting the importance of clarity and comprehension in these critical conversations.
