Let's imagine that it's 2050 and we've halted climate change. Humans are no longer releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Here's what life would be like in a zero-carbon world 👇

It would definitely be brown.

2050: The aoc Genocide was the result of a social engineering project by the Democratic Socialist party of the USA attempting to create a non-fossil fuel socialist green society. 135 million perished over the period of 2025 to 2045. Usa CO2 emmisions were cut 75%. /1

Where’s all the housing. Space for homes has now been taken up by solar panels. Looks like people will be living underground in burrows.

Let's imagine that it's tomorrow and NPR isn't a propaganda machine. They are able to give unbiased news reportage... OK, I'm sorry, I knew it was going to be a stretch, but I just couldn't carry it off.

Dumb.

Mother nature when you tell her she can be controlled

One volcano erupts and the same amount of carbon dioxide emissions as several decades of global car uses is released annnnnd you’re stupid.

Tell that to the farting cows

Covering up open spaces with solar panels does what to the ecosystem of the underlying ground ?

Why can’t we start now?

If ThePropagandaPresident is speaking about religious freedom, we are living in upside down world! 🙃🌎

Billions of years of universal weather patterns disrupted by one species only to be saved by one species all within a 150 year timespan. Sounds like a pretty special species.

How were all those solar panels manufactured and maintained? 🤔

Human caused climate change has been exposed as a monstrous fraud.

Can we imagine its 2020 and NPR is shutdown for ever ... So now we no longer have ..publicly-funded propaganda for the democratic party ... shutdownNPR

How did we build all those solar panels?

I am all for trying to stop climate damage but you aren't going to...just the regular processes of life on this planet...prove that it is changing back to the hot period.

JoshGellers The one problem is that this would require a world without Capitalism. And the rich would rather nuke the planet into a ball of glass before they'd give up their billions.

Plant life would die.

Start building modern nuclear plants... You won't have to cover millions of acres in solar panels and wind turbines

There’s no chance of that fantasy...Our planet is dying and us with it

So we have CO2 back under 350 ppm and all plant life is starved of breath? Famine is everywhere?

halted climate change? are you for real? has anyone checked with the sun....you know that massive thermonuclear reactor that drives our climate.

Let's imagine living in a fricken cave .

The magical appearance of zero-impact electricity-generating infrastructure and the maintenance of same without the environmental impact of mining, manufacturing, distribution, service, and disposal is farcical.

boyerweather Two decades after the world ended.

Joe_Rohde How are you going to get world wide cooperation?

Lower human population, that'll take care of climate change massively.

Even if we were able to achieve carbon neutrality today the temperature of the Earth would continue to rise. In order to stop global warming nature would have to be stimulated to absorb more CO2 or technology invented to remove the excess.

The damage has already been done you can’t stop a train once it’s left the station. And India and China and Brazil are really just getting started in this thing. Wait till Africa starts going. Evolve or die.

Let’s just say zero carbon is scientifically stupid.

Climate still happened in ancient history and we didn’t have modern pollution peeps. Another excuse for socialists to take your money!

Imaging slaughtering billions of people to “save the planet”

Let’s imagine any journalism at NPR

a zero carbon world would look like the moon. Not that life is made of carbon and such.

Need to do serious backcasting (beyond this interesting approach) to see what we would need to do to achieve the 2050 goal.

Imagine it's 2050 and finally stops being Leftist propaganda. You want to see someone serious about this? Check out RepDanCrenshaw Carbon capture Nuclear Focusing on China pollution Focusing on Africa and similar with cleaner power. Or...we can just keep imagining.

WE ONLY HAVE 12 YEARSSSSSSSSS /s

Heh heh... not gonna happen. CO2 has been in the atmosphere since we had an atmosphere.

im sure 2050 is one in which the left and right might very well succeed in a white suprmacy based genocide of Afghanistan. Hell awaits those of you silence about this injustice.

Imagining that won’t make it happen. People you gotta vote for this now.

endofanerajc Funny they forgot to talk about the billions of people that died because of the economic ramifications of having the ENTIRE PLANET go green by 2050. Apparently those people must be sacrificed to save the woke.

Meatfree Childfree or FAIL Overpopulation Crisis so stop subsidizing both and make Birth Control free it saves...

China’s CO2 emissions—already the largest in the world—grew an estimated 2.3 percent increase in 2018; in fact, with current policies, China’s greenhouse gas emissions are projected to rise until at least 2030,

endofanerajc

CO2 is NOT A pollutant, ya mope! It's plant food. Without it, all plant life dies and you have no more trees to hug. Shut up...

pretty funny to think that you would be able to do anything about India and China, two of the largest polluters ClimateHoax

So none of us are breathing?

And by we me mean the the unwashed masses. We the liberal intellectual elite will still have our private jets and yachts because we deserve them.

it's 2050 and we've halted climate change” Is this from TheOnion? It’s 2050 and we’ve moved the earth far enough from sun to cool the planet.. .

Psst. People are carbon based life forms. In a zero-carbon world we would all be extinct.

Here’s what it’ll really be like... Because it won’t happen and it’s probably too late.

The solutions are available. What is lacking is the political will to carry them out.

Millions would die

How do halt something that never happened, tell me this, how much have the oceans risen in the past 30 years?

This is stupidity

NPR Choice pageSounds like they are safe and getting along nicely in Mexico! Love it. I want to see problems being brought to attention with positivity and solutions like this, not the usual negative angry vitriol that most news outlets love. They are really seeking economic asylum and for that they’re also taking our jobs away from us! And please don’t tell me that those jobs no one in the USA want to take them, And then take is your house.
