Comments by "Tony Wilson" (@tonywilson4713) on "IPCC: World leaders will fail without immediate rapid reductions in emissions | DW News" video.
Yeah - did you notice how he deflected the question regarding if it was wise to shut of the nuclear power. Nuclear has its issues for sure but Germany's nuclear plants were fine, well maintained and produced next to zero CO2. If they had shut down the coal fired stations then Germany would be CO2 neutral or close to neutral already. I'm an engineer and this is the huge problem most non-technical people don't get. Not only do we have to transition away from fossil fuel but we have to do it in a way that doesn't bankrupt our societies. Germany had working operational CO2 minimal plants and turned them off instead of the plants that spewed out CO2 by the ton. Despite spending €1.3Trillion on renewable energy Germany's CO2 emissions went UP NOT DOWN. That's what this clown should have been asked to explain.
