A talk by Michael de Podesta former scientist at the National Physical Laboratory, Teddington

There is no more important question facing us - collectively and individually - than how to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. And if it’s not possible to live individual lives without emitting carbon dioxide, then our collective commitment to ‘net zero’ is unlikely to be achieved.

In this talk, Michael aims to briefly describe the nature of the problem of global warming, and then discuss the role of three of the key technologies that over the coming decades will change the way we live: solar PV, batteries, and heat pumps. Are they enough to enable us to live lives without emitting carbon dioxide?
