Lucas Joppa, Microsoft\'s first chief environmental officer, thinks about climate change through the lens of coding, and he says the world\'s current net-zero approach simply won\'t compute. So how do we create a system that actually accounts for all the world\'s carbon emissions -- and helps us get to zero (as in zero additional carbon added to the atmosphere by 2050)? Joppa shares three "bugs" in our current net-zero code, a four-point plan for fixing them \\u2013 and how logic can help us change the current course of climate change.
