The Climate Guru Ep. 13 - Climate Basics Pt. 5: The Carbon Budget

In this episode of The Climate Guru, we dive deep into the concept of the carbon budget—how much more carbon emissions can the world afford before we hit dangerous temperature thresholds? Brent breaks down the historical rise in emissions from the early 1900s to the present, examining how the world's most industrialized nations are responsible for the majority of carbon output today. From transportation to agriculture, we explore the major sources of emissions and where solutions like renewable energy can make a real impact.

As we look toward the future, the episode highlights the urgent need for action to stay within the limits that will help us avoid catastrophic global warming. Can we meet the promises made in the 2015 Paris Agreement? Tune in to learn about the current state of global emissions, the science behind the carbon budget, and the political will required to keep the planet below critical temperature thresholds.
