How the fossil fuel industry exploits net zero | Bonus Content

We sit down with investigative climate journalist Amy Westervelt to dissect how the framework of "Net Zero" has been weaponised by the fossil fuel industry to justify continued extraction and emissions. We dive into the empirical and thermodynamic realities of carbon capture and storage (CCS), exploring why scaling this technology faces rigid physical and geological boundaries - such as subterranean pore space constraints and gaseous migration - that limit its theoretical capacity to a fractional 2-3% emission reduction. Westervelt exposes the systemic failure of voluntary carbon markets, tracking how tech giants have funded offset projects in Bolivia and Kenya that resulted in severe environmental and social disruption. The world has already missed 1.5°C. Overshoot explores what comes next.🎧 Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube🌍 overshootpod.com#climatechange #Overshoot #climatecrisis #Netzero #drilled
