TED: Fossil fuel companies know how to stop global warming. Why don't they? | Myles Allen

The video discusses the urgent need to address global warming by decarbonizing fossil fuels. It explores the challenges and options available, such as banning fossil fuels or making them carbon-neutral through capture and storage. The responsibility lies with fossil fuel companies, and a global effort is needed to implement cost-effective pathways to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. The video calls for action from industry, politicians, and environmentalists to solve the problem.
