all the solution mention here is all industrial about farming with animal deserted area that produce most of the co2 like in y tube video Allan Savory: How to green the world's deserts and reverse climate change

Bill Gates is just an other industrial renegade !

6:59 - Nulear is NOT CO2 free. Unless you refuse to mine, mill, enrich and transport fuel, you will have significant CO2 emissions.

[Richard Labaire]

yes the zero CO2 theory only takes human use and production of CO2 into account, however there is a real need to plan for worst case in the future and if it is not needed fine, but i would rather say we can run with 0 CO2 production than say 100 years down the line that we can't even run at 50% of our current CO2 and governments that don't care are still cutting down rain forests and creating deserts all over the world. i would rather push for new tech than stagnate with what we have.
