Beyond NOW: A Climate-Neutral World
summary
Local heat days climb from five to 29 and modelled 40–50 days at +2°C, pushing urgency. Two-thirds of CO2 comes from energy and 20% from agriculture; renewables supply 12% now and must hit ~65% to reach net zero. Semiconductor tools listed include power chips, microcontrollers, sensors and connectivity that enable 25% vehicle energy savings via V2V, 50% building energy cuts from presence-based systems, plus grid software, storage (hydrogen), rainforest audio sensors and a Bloomberg Green data/index approach to drive measurable action.
