- How do we even begin to decarbonize economies when almost everything we’ve built since the 1800s was designed around fossil fuels? In this segment from Getting Warmer, Kal Penn explains how we can renovate the world, from electrical grids to air travel and even our homes.

Getting Warmer is Bloomberg's exclusive new show about climate, clean energy and business, anchored by actor and former White House aide Kal Penn.
Accompany him on his journey as he takes an up-close look at bold climate solutions and discovers new facets of the global transition to clean energy.
In a hosted studio segment, Penn sifts through the overwhelming news about our climate and breaks down the facts and trends to understand with a dose of humor and optimism. Why are the recycling symbols on your plastic cups misleading? How does the carbon credit market work and does it actually help? And what is the future of water in a drought-ridden world?
On the road, Penn meets the innovators, researchers, communities and businesses pivoting to new energy sources and spearheading low-carbon technologies. In documentary segments, Penn speaks to the self-declared “crypto cowboys” of Texas who claim Bitcoin mining can help stabilize the state’s troubled electrical grid, and travels to Nevada to visit the company attempting to build America’s first closed-loop supply chain for electric vehicles. In New York, Penn explores the urban designs proposed to save the city from the next Superstorm Sandy and goes inside New York’s Empire State building to investigate the challenges of decarbonizing our cities and landmarks.
The show builds on, and includes contributions from, Bloomberg Green’s award-winning team of climate journalists as well as London-based climate storytellers Jack Harries and Alice Aedy. With a focus on the most pressing questions for young viewers, Jack and Alice unpack one big idea each episode. From recycled wastewater to regenerative agriculture and the challenges of a just transition for workers in the energy sector, they’ll break down how countries across the world are finding intriguing solutions to our climate crisis, and outline the challenges ahead.
Watch Getting Warmer starting February 1st at 8p EST streaming on Bloomberg channels on Connected TV Devices including Samsung TV+, LG Channels, and Fire TV. And on & Bloomberg.com.
You can also watch on Bloomberg TV (BTV) at 10p ET.

Why are you telling my this when you should be going after corporate America? They pollute more than anyone is daring to bring up.
Blaming corps for *all* the emissions is just like corps blaming the end user for *all* the emissions. It's not either or. It's both.
@@JaniMelender corporations produce the only options we have.
They make the products and make them available to the public, not the other way around.
So it's not a general population problem it's a corporate problem. It's not difficult to understand.
Stop sipping the Kool aid. I'm not buying the propaganda that we are at fault.
Too short, not say many key things… kind of useless
You’re yapping dude stop talking
@@draco_1876 why should I stop taking and express my opinion on this video?
The comment are made for that.
You're made of carbon
...All At Once?
I GET IT; so the plants CAN'T breathe, right!?
I'm trying to increase my carbon footprint.
This Kal Penn dude naturally speaks in 1.25x
Don't talk so much. Try and hold your breath for at least 10 minutes a day in 30 second intervals. Come on! Its not even the worst idea I have ever herd.
KUMAR?
Too many self-interruptions in this one.
Why are the only ones who care about ‘carbon’ are the ones set to make the greatest profit from moving away from it? …
Actually those who still want to get the greatest profit from oil are the ones who don't want you to care about carbon.

Now,a lame comedian is a scientist?
Stop, just stop
Fossil fuel is stored sunlight energy. We already green 😊

Here come a hundred idiots to make the same joke a hundred more times despite nobody ever laughing
You are the carbon they want to reduce.

Yikes. I love the comedian, but a climate scientist he isn't. Honestly, this isn't surprising for bloomberg. Of course they're going to favor psudo solutions that make people think things will stay the same as they are. Biofuels for planes? Really? The only way one can claim low carbon footprint for that is possibly of the usage is so low that it entirely fits in the current waste oil volume produced today. Of course, that is a lie still, because waste oil still needs to be processed heavily, consuming huge amounts of energy, to make it usable in a plane. Still, once demand requires more than just incedental waste oils be used, then that goes to actualling producing oils for fuel, which not only increases the energy consumed to make the fuel, but also typically consumes huge amounts of agricultural land and digs into world food supplies. Just for what will end up being the rich flying around on their private jets mostly. So few normal people will be able to afford to fly for much longer. Another thing about biofuels is how much more expensive they will be.
As for the other solutions, there are enough videos out there showing the actual numbers behind such so called fixes and how they aren't going to do nearly as much as bloomberg wants you to think they will.
Keep in mind this with respects to any climate related messaging. The uber wealthy have a stanglehold on the current setup of business and industry. They will fight as hard as they can to keep that stanglehold, to keep the status quo.
Want to hear just one quick fix to decarbonize massively on one sweeping change that uber wealthy absolutely doesn't want to happen? Replace cars with public transit. Not just busses, but walking paths, bike paths, buses, trains, and ride-share vehicles. The transportation industry emits a huge amount of greenhouse gases. Nevermind the cars, building and maintaining roads alone causes a significant impact. Even pavenment existing on so much of the land has been proven to have a significant heating impact as it absorbs so much energy from the sun.
Want a quick fix? Reduced traffic means more empty roads. Empty freeways can be partially stripped back. Trains tracks could be put in many parts of where freeways travel. Some alterations would need to be made as trains are more limited with changes in elevation and turning. Also, powerlines don't have to worry nearly as much with permittiing along a freeway. What's more, it would make electrically powered trains easier to run if the powerlines run alongside them. Obviously, not the entire way, as resources would probably be batter managed by making more direct routes, but it could be a better solution than putting off parts of the grid due to permit issues.
Of course, a more distributed grid solution will likley be better in the future. There is still a lot of debate as to whether fewer resources focused in bigger more centralized power generation would be better than distributed, but more resource hungry power generation. Still, there arw a lot who show the problems with transcontinental power transfers. The power losses would be colossal.
what rubbish carbon is life fool we need more
the technoligie already exist for the last 70 years 🤣🤣
WE DON'T. We dont "decarbonize". That question is based on an ignorant perverted view of reality. Period.
