In 1965, Intel co-founder Gordon Moore predicted that the processing power for computers will double every two years – in what is popularly known as Moore’s law.
Using Moore’s law as a basis for a roadmap to tackle climate change could lead to a zero-emissions future by 2050, according to senior climate change scientists The Guardian spoke to.
This proposed roadmap would set the objectives of halving carbon emissions every 10 years, while green energy continues to double every five years.
The world is currently not too far off this mark, at least in terms of green energy use. The share of renewables in the energy sector has doubled every 5.5 years in the last decade, says Johan Rockström, at Stockholm University in Sweden.
Read on here to find out more about this roadmap, its goals and challenges and how feasible it would be.
