user: Can we move away from fossil fuels in the next decade  ?

assistant: According to the most recent report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and a consensus statement from over 97% of the world’s climate scientists, burning fossil fuels for electricity, heat, and transportation is the largest contributor to human driven climate change. Fossil fuels are responsible for over 75% of Greenhouse gas emissions and over 97% of carbon dioxide emissions. These reports have also stressed that there’s an immediate need to move away from these fuels in the near future. 

The challenge to this paradigm shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy is a combination of social and political barriers, the cost for new infrastructure to manage new energy portfolios , fossil fuel phase-out may lead to an increment in electricity prices and challenges to energy storage. 

In April 2022, McKinsey published their Energy Insights Global Energy Perspective report, where they highlighted a rapid increase in traditional energy ( Oil and Gas) over the next 5 years, however the report also shows a rise in renewable energy and Hydrogen following that 5 year mark. While each adoption of this will differ in each country, the consensus is we will have a mixed energy portfolio (renewables and traditional) for the next 3 decades. The data also suggests as we see technology improve for more sustainable management of assets, batteries and resources, we will see a decline in the extraction , transportation  and consumption of fossil fuels.

user: How should I sleep train my baby?

assistant: First, check with your pediatrician to make sure your baby is ready for sleep training. Most babies are ready for sleep training at about 4 months old given they are growing according to the growth curves. You can start with naps and put the baby to sleep when they are drowsy but not fully asleep. This is important because at this stage, the baby's sleep pattern become more like an adult sleep pattern and they start waking up throughout their nap and nighttime sleep to check their surroundings before falling back asleep. You want to make sure they are able to fall asleep independently in their own bed.
