TED: The bad math of the fossil fuel industry | Tzeporah Berman

The video discusses the importance of Canada's Great Northern Forests and the challenges posed by fossil fuel production. Despite government efforts to regulate emissions, fossil fuel production remains unchecked. The speaker highlights the need for a global framework to manage fossil fuel production and introduces the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative. The treaty aims to create a fair and equitable wind-down of fossil fuels. Support for the treaty is growing, with endorsements from Nobel laureates, cities, and scientists. The speaker remains hopeful for a future where fossil fuels are phased out.
