'BradCast' 9/24/2021 (NASA's Dr. Peter Kalmus on 'climate emergency mode'; AZ 'audit' fail)

b"On today's 'BradCast':\\xa0\\xa0 National media has now confirmed our first-in-the-nation scoop yesterday on the hilarious results of the partisan Cyber Ninjas' Arizona 'audit,' which confirmed (again) that Joe Biden soundly defeated Donald Trump in the 2020 election. Trump's sore-loser, publicly-financed and privately-purchased 'audit' found that the original tally in Maricopa County was entirely accurate \\u2013 except Biden picked up 99 votes out of 2.1 million cast.\\xa0 But all of this nonsense is a perfect way to disguise and distract from the fact that the GOP has become a political party with no actual legitimate legislative agenda, at a time when humanity itself is facing the existential threat of man-made global warming. NASA climate scientist and author DR. PETER KALMUS joins us to discuss his latest article explaining why pledges by nations around the world to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions globally by 2050 are fatally flawed - - in part, because the 2050 target is not nearly fast enough to prevent catastrophic global warming, and 'net zero' allows the fossil fuel industry to continue to polluting for decades longer than is safe for humanity. Kalmus explains important concepts like not-yet-invented 'negative emissions technologies,' some of the seemingly radical policies that may ultimately be required unless governments dramatically accelerate the swift transition away from fossil fuels, and why his research has led him to issue a clarion call for world governments to move into 'climate emergency' mode. Kalmus warns:\\xa0 'I see what is coming...what I'm saying now that sounds radical to people will not seem radical anymore. I just wish that people would listen now.'"
