In December 2015, world leaders gathered in Paris and reached a consensus on a strong effort needed to tackle climate change as a result, 195 nations adopted the Paris Agreement (“Paris Agreement,” 2015). We don’t bother asking, “what will happen if we fail to displace fossil fuels?” or “what if the portrayed renewable energy is an illusion and its disadvantages are hidden behind the “green” label?” The Paris Climate Agreement We fail to realize that it not as we thought. We are so desperate to accept the idea that sounds renewable that we avoid looking too close into the green energy that is inculcated in our minds. The massive carbon dioxide share in GHG gives rise to an energy shift from fossil fuels to carbon-free energy sources these sources contribute to the creation of the so-called green or renewable energy. Some greenhouse gases are more effective than others at making the planet warmer and “thickening the Earth’s blanket.” In short, certain gases, including carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and fluorinated gases-that trap heat in the atmosphere are called greenhouse gases. Much is said about greenhouse gases (GHG). It’s believed that in 2050 the world will be 100% renewable.

The paper does not argue that renewable energy is a bad thing, it argues that while it is good for the environment, it has disadvantages too like most things. It also talks about what most analysts fail to mention-the disadvantages of renewable energy.

This paper analyses these solar, wind, and biomass renewable energy sources at the commercial level, and their carbon footprint and efficiency. The climate crisis is becoming a hot topic in mainstream media, we have seen many analysts and climate alarmists talking about the need for the world to shift to renewable sources-solar, wind, biomass, etc.-to mitigate rising temperature. After the report, the UN Secretary-General, António Guterres, said, “Humanity is waging war on nature and this is suicidal-nature always strikes back and it is already doing so.” (Harvey, 2020). Now whether they use renewable energy sources for it, keeping in mind their disadvantages, is a separate question (Bataut, 2021).Īccording to a recent climate change prediction report, There is at least a 20% chance that the average global temperatures will temporarily increase by more than 1.5 degrees Celsius by 2024 (Carrington, 2020). They’ve realized that for a sustainable future, everyone needs to understand what the advantage of switching to renewable energy is, and how there is a need to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions globally. Nonetheless, world leaders and international organizations are paying more and more attention to climate change these days. However, when we consider renewable energy as an alternative energy source, we often forget to take into account its disadvantages. When discussing the impact of climate change, green energy mostly tops the list of changes that the world can implement to save the blue planet from the rising temperature-threatening pace (Bin Farid, 2021).
