Welcome to our site: Net Zero by 2050: Technology for a Changing Climate. We publish posts, podcasts and videos that discuss how we can respond to climate change and related topics.
Goals for this Site
This site has the following objectives,
To provide business and industrial managers with information and guidance on complying with climate change regulations.
To provide those same managers with suggestions as to how to develop, implement and manage a ‘Net Zero’ program.
To discuss topics such as resource depletion and biosphere destruction, particularly as they relate to climate change.
Please note:
At the end of 2023 we created a new blog called the PSM Report. Posts to do with process safety are being transferred to the new site.
Your Author
Most of the material at this site is written by Ian Sutton, a chemical engineer who has written and published many books such as The OSHA Process Safety Standard: The 30-Year Update, Process Risk and Reliability Management, Offshore Safety Management and Plant Design and Operations. Mr. Sutton’s technical background provides an important perspective on climate change issues.
No one has anything close to a complete answer to the “What to do?” question. What we try to do in these posts is to provide realistic ways of addressing that question — with an emphasis on the word realistic. We hear from all sides that, “We need to listen to the scientists”. Fair enough, but it is now even more important to listen to the engineers, project managers and investors.
Editorial Principles
The following principles are followed at this site.
We may advocate for certain political actions, such as the implementation of climate disclosure rules. However, we avoid partisan politics.
We will declare any commercial interests that may affect the objectivity of our work.
We aim to back up statements of fact with an appropriate citation or reference from a recognized source.
We try to provide material that is useful, particularly to busy managers.
We occasionally publish videos that supplement the written materials.
