Stabilizing our climate is going to take some hard truths – and hard numbers. “If you
look at 1.5 degrees, it's about 13 years,” says Stanford’s Arun Majumdar. “If you look at
2 degrees, it’s 20 years. And after that, it’s zero.” We can fight back with the power of
zero: a zero-carbon grid, zero-emission vehicles, zero-net energy buildings and zero-
waste manufacturing. Whether through massive technological breakthroughs or
deployment of existing technologies, powering these opportunities will require funding
and policy changes. Can a four-zero solution lead to a low carbon-future?
