Nick Breeze gives an eye opening account of what happened at each COP through Dubai, starting with the famous Paris Accord in 2015, and often crossing paths with the founder of this channel, the late Stuart Scott. In the nearly 30 years that the UN’s Conferences of the Parties (COP) have come and gone, emissions have increased by 60%, CO2 levels in the atmosphere have sailed past the 350pp million safe limit to 421 ppm today, and 250 billion tons of greenhouse gasses have been released. As a result, global temperatures have continued to rise, crossing the 1.5 degree celsius safe boundary to an average of 1.64C for the entire year we just experienced. As in Dubai, this year’s #COP in Azerbaijan, will be presided over by an oil and gas executive, Mukhtar Babayev, with promises to secure finances and an agreement to reduce emissions and increase renewable energy. No mention of the restoration of nature.

What’s with all the electric scooters, skateboards and bicycles? Scooter bros suddenly seem to be everywhere in San Francisco, Washington, DC, Seattle and other cities. Some think they’re cool, some tweet angrily about #Scootersbehavingbadly. Ride-hailing companies are also moving to two wheels. Uber bought the bike sharing company Jump and Lyft followed suit by scooping up Motivate, which operates bike sharing services in San Francisco, Boston, Chicago, New York and other cities. Is an electric skateboard company next? As companies jockey to offer a suite of transportation options what is the future of urban mobility? Are these new urban toys really solving the notorious first-mile and last-mile problem? Join us for a conversation with Stuart Cohen, Sanjay Dastoor and Megan Rose Dickey about new wheels in town and what they mean for getting around town and cutting carbon emissions Dockless Bike Share 5:16 Electric Scooters 9:00 Why Scooters Now? 16:41 Zombie Cars? 20:37 Lightning Round! 21:53
