Just have a Think - Bio-Energy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS), 27012019

BECCS (Bio-Energy with Carbon Capture and Storage) is a technology that the IPCC has factored into their climate modelling. If it is to have the effect of keeping their models to well below 2oC of warming compared to pre-industrial levels then it will need to be implemented on a vast scale around the globe. This video takes a snapshot of scientific and journalistic analysis of this controversial proposal

Just have a Think - Massive global energy disruptions are coming. Brace yourself, 08052022

Global energy disruptions are already in the news for all the wrong reasons. But according to a new report from the International Renewable Energy Agency, you ain't seen nothing yet! 15 million jobs are set to be lost from the fossil fuel industry in the coming years, but more than three times that will be created in the renewable sector. So, can we transform our systems and lifestyles in time to cope with coming revolution?
