   EXPONENTIALLY
   
   Exponentially with Azeem Azhar celebrates a promising near-future and how
   critical thinking can guide the exploration of what's necessary to turn
   exciting new visions into reality. Starting with the premise of what our
   lives might soon be like, Azhar and his guests place cutting-edge ideas under
   a microscope to see what's possible—and even likely. An antidote to the daily
   headlines and ever-changing technology, Azhar’s conversations will bring
   clarity and understanding to this Exponential Age.

Environmental activists recoil for a reason when the super-rich fly private jets
to forums that preach carbon neutrality. Airplane pollution levels really are
going through the stratosphere and nobody seems to have a viable plan to rein
them in.

While energy generation and agriculture currently dwarf aviation’s 1.3 percent
share of all human-caused greenhouse gases, emissions from air travel are
accelerating many times faster. That puts the industry on track to become the
single biggest emitter of carbon dioxide within three decades if the predicted
cuts in other sectors materialize, data and projections from UN agencies show.

President Joe Biden forcefully — and at times angrily — sought to combat
suggestions his acuity was declining in a hastily arranged press conference
Thursday night.

But the 81-year-old leader may have made his biggest election-year liability
worse.
