This interview tells us that people are already having to adapt to climate change. It’s already happening. Quote “”Most actions to tackle climate change directly are also very sensible health-protecting measures, so people should try to adopt these. These include choosing healthier diets, with less meat and more plants, or choosing to walk more.”” https://www.wired.com/story/climate-crisis-is-a-health-risk-everywhere-wired-health-lancet-countdown/

2023-11-15 HYDROGEN – You Wouldn’t Be Alive Without It!
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

2023-10-20 Ammonia From Farms Behind 60% Of UK PM2.5 Air Pollution – Study
Ammonia from farms, along with NOx, make up 40% of PM2.5 air pollution in other developed countries.

2023-10-12 Haber Process – Making Ammonia Is Very Energy Intensive
Those who are concerned about the use of fossil fuels are typically concerned about transportation and fossil fuels use in homes and industries. But they tend to ignore the fact that humans use a large amount of fossil fuels to make fertilizer to grow food. Without fertilizer there would be global starvation. Along with other
