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.”” https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/4157562-us-climate-emissions-attributed-richest-households-study/ I started thinking about this and guessed that some

The IPCC plans for 1.5C require that the countries have to do a cutback below BAU – business as usual. Countries incentivize RE – renewable energy – to get it more competitive with FFs – fossil fuels. But FFs say we’re not going to stand by and let this happen and they raise hell saying

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

This may give some legal pressure on Big Oil to stop violating the Earth’s climate rights. https://www.theenergymix.com/2022/05/19/fossils-liable-for-human-rights-violations-in-landmark-ruling-by-philippines-commission/
Battery-like device absorbs CO2. https://techxplore.com/news/2022-05-low-cost-battery-like-device-absorbs-co2.html
Climeworks raises $650 million article Samuel Soroaster Said, ” The entropy is too big to make it energy efficient. Better to use concentrated sources.” By entropy, I assume you mean that the CO2 is too diluted to make it efficient enough to pay back the effort. Okay, so what do we do? Wait until hell

Piotrek Puczek said, “Nothing has been solved, hydrogen will only be for miche applications…” There are other catalysts besides expensive metals, but they may not be as efficient. But efficiency is not a concern when the power is excess that would otherwise be constrained – wasted, unused. There are Youtube videos of hydrogen generators that

The pyrolysis system sequesters CO2 in biochar, which is used to enrich the soil. The $1M prize is going to them for building a plant that will soon be online. https://www.kcrg.com/2022/04/23/iowa-state-research-team-wins-1000000-new-process-that-removes-carbon-dioxide-atmosphere/
Suman Rao I’m in Southern California, where billionaires go to Beverly Hills for conspicuous consumption. I see waste every day. I can’t give away things – it’s extremely difficult to change people’s habits. There is not enough time to do that. The governments tried to make people wear masks and then get vaccinated, and antivaxxers
