January 3, 2017
[font size=3]The global spread of green technologies must quicken significantly to avoid future rebounds in greenhouse gas emissions, a new Duke University study shows.
Based on our calculations, we wont meet the climate warming goals set by the Paris Agreement unless we speed up the spread of clean technology by a full order of magnitude, or about ten times faster than in the past, said Gabriele Manoli, a former postdoctoral associate at Dukes Nicholas School of the Environment, who led the study.
Radically new strategies to implement technological advances on a global scale and at unprecedented rates are needed if current emissions goals are to be achieved, Manoli said.
Its no longer enough to have emissions-reducing technologies, he said. We must scale them up and spread them globally at unprecedented speeds.

(33,527 posts)1. If solar and wind - which some fools call "green" - increased by a factor of 10, they would still...
still remain trivial.
The world energy demand is 570 exajoules per year and is rising.
At a cost of two trillion dollars over the last decade solar and wind don't produce five of those exajoules.
I note that most of this crap is lucky to last twenty years before becoming landfill.
So called "renewable energy" hasn't worked; it isn't working; and it won't work. The more money thrown at it uselessly, the faster the degradation of the atmosphere will be. This is observed experimental fact, and all the Trump like delusional lying will not change that.

I get a "DOI Not Found" screen from dx.doi.org. This works for me: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/2016EF000431/full
