From the Ted Talk by Chad Frischmann: 100 solutions to reverse global warming

Unscramble the Blue Letters


But one last point, because I know it's probably on everybody's mind; how much is this going to cost? Well, we estimate that to ileemnpmt all 80 solutions would cost about 29 trioilln dollars over 30 years. That's just about a trillion a year. Now, I know that sounds like a lot, but we have to remember that global GDP is over 80 trillion every year, and the estimated savings from imntmlpeieng these solutions is 74 trillion dollars, over double the costs. That's a net snavgis of 44 trillion dllaros.

So drawdown is possible. We can do it if we want to. It's not going to cost that much, and the return on that investment is huge.

Well, we estimate that to implement all 80 solutions would cost about 29 trillion dollars over 30 years. That's just about a trillion a year. Now, I know that sounds like a lot, but we have to remember that global GDP is over 80 trillion every year, and the estimated savings from implementing these solutions is 74 trillion dollars, over double the costs. That's a net savings of 44 trillion dollars.
