This article starts off with (quote) “”The oil and gas industry is banking on carbon capture as its “fix” for climate change. The IEA’s new report dispels that idea and offers real solutions.”” It’s much more than that. “The oil and gas industry is banking on carbon capture” as a magic wand that they can

I constantly see the armchair BEV (battery electric vehicle) ‘experts’ badmouth hydrogen FCEVs. The hydrogen is 3X less efficient than BEVs, they claim. But the ICEVs (internal combustion engine vehicles) they’re now driving are less efficient than the hydrogen FCEVs! So why are these hypocrites complaining? Hydrogen has been *safely* generated, stored and transported in

This chart shows the 9 Planetary Boundaries and how they have been breached. Some don’t look that alarming but *anything* past the green is bad. The Novel Entities is especially troubling. https://www.iasparliament.com/current-affairs/daily-news/breach-of-planetary-boundaries
If the Antarctic and Greenland ice melts, it will cause 10 meters of sea level rise. If the AMOC stops, it could throw Europe into a mini ice age. If the rainfall in the Amazon rainforest turns to drought there are large areas that would become savannah, and become a net carbon source. If the

There apparently are millions of armchair experts who badmouth about all the dangers and impossibilities of making, storing and transporting hydrogen. They all say that H2 leaks like water through a sieve and that hydrogen causes containers to become brittle, as fragile as a clay pot. They are being ignored by the engineers who have

The spike in atmospheric methane could be very similar to what has happened eons ago, an abrupt end to an ice age. The methane emissions from tropical wetlands, mainly in Africa, have been soaring since 2006. https://www.space.com/climate-change-termination-event-end-ice-age
Quote: “”The wealthiest tenth of U.S. households are the source of 40 percent of national greenhouse gas emissions, according to research published in the journal PLOS Climate.”” Quote: “”The wealthiest 1 percent of households were responsible for between 15 percent and 17 percent of emissions.”” 40 percent of US climate emissions attributed to richest households:

Brian Henry I think you’re implying that China is irresponsible when it comes to ending the burning of fossil fuels. Let me remind you that many if not most of the devices you use in your life were made in China. People here criticise lithium batteries as violating human rights because the cobalt may have
