Here is how he concludes his presentation:
“We must be honest about where we are and where we are heading. We risk losing everything that we care about, everything that we value, that we love. Now, I want to believe I'm wrong. I want to believe that my children will somehow come to possess miraculous carbon removing machines — but every time I look at the evidence, there is an ever-increasing gap between hype and reality. This does not mean we are doomed. There are alternatives. We can avoid climate catastrophe. But I fear we won’t if we don’t confront our wishful thinking around Net Zero.”
