Dude randomly ends the article with antivax tripe, saying that vaccinating children is essentially murdering them.
I don’t know either why so many drift off into lalaland. Just ignore these parts, I guess.
Someone who is an idiot and ignores reality isnt someone you should listen to.
Guy’s a Cook.
And…no talk about renewable energy’s massive growth in the same time-frame? Got it.

I was trying to goad you towards looking what it takes to sequester those annual 10 petagrams of carbon using renewable energy sources, while powering the global economy, while including replenishment of the renewable energy infrastructure itself. The latter it currently cannot, being merely multipliers of fossil energy sources.
It is remarkable they cannot even make it work in Iceland, with almost free geothermal and suitable geology for underground injection.
sequester those annual 10 petagrams of carbon
What does that have to do with renewable energy output?
Because for sequestration you need to use 100% renewable energy, at scale. Which leaves you only with solar photovoltaics. Which does a lot worse than geothermal, in Iceland. And it doesn’t even work in Iceland.
Dude. I’m not discussing any of that. I’m talking purely from the energy output perspective. I don’t care about carbon sequestration, it’s not part of the discussion.
If the amount of fossil power generation goes down and renewable goes up, things are mostly stable.
I’m afraid there is no energy transition https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/global-primary-energy
The amount of fossil in primary energy use remains at about 80% and changes so slowly, it doesn’t matter.
Great website.
“No energy transition?”

Did you notice the “primary energy” part?
Two years until there is an energy crisis. If there weren’t the vaccine parts, I would take him serious and be worried.
Look at his sources, and make up your mind.
In terms of per capita and especially net energy per capita world we are already in a crisis.
That tight resources are a flash in a pan is long known.
