YMLADRIS: jeste jsem to necet, ale pripomina mi to diskuzi s elektroautama - kdyz mas elektrinu z uhli, jak na vyrobu, tak provoz elektroauta, tak je jeho ekologictnost oproti dieselu diskutabilni. jakmile mas input cistsi (renewable/solar atd.), jses az na 30% emisi... vzdy jde o pouzitou techninku (metodicky postup) nebo technologii...

vic bych ale u dobytka koukal na metan - jenze ale i tam bude tam vic faktoru, nedavno sem nekde cetl ze nejaky specialni traviny u hoveziho redukujou tvorbu metanu v zazivacim ustroji o desitky procent. asi je nebudeme sejt na vsech pastvach po svete, ale je to dobrej highlight na zamysleni, ze lide se casto zameruji na konec problemu (dobytek/jist maso), ne na problem samotny (pricina tvorby metanu/co2)

nejaky dohnal za hovezi, nedokazu posoudit jak moc je to v poradku

To vše dohromady kilogramovou flákotou skutečně deklasuje. Jenže co když budete krávy pást na již dávno zřízené pastvině někde v podhůří moravských hor a nemuseli jste kvůli tomu klučit jihoamerický prales? Doberete se toho, že kilo hovězího masa váží rázem „jen“ 6 kilogramů emisního CO2. Což je oproti původní stovce dost zásadní rozdíl.

New Study Confirms Extensive Gas Leaks in the North Sea −
https://evobsession.com/new-study-confirms-extensive-gas-leaks-in-the-north-sea/amp/

We have combined investigations at additional wells with extensive seismic data. The results clearly show that thousands of tons of methane are leaking from old drill holes on the North Sea floor every year,’ says Dr. Christoph Böttner, who is the main author of the study, which is part of his doctoral thesis at GEOMAR.

...

The positions of the boreholes and the location and extent of the gas pockets indicate that this area of the North Sea alone has the potential to emit 900 to 3700 tonnes of methane every year

...

In seawater, methane is usually consumed by microbes. This can lead to local seawater acidification. In the North Sea, about half of the boreholes are at such shallow water depths that part of the emitted methane can escape into the atmosphere. Methane is the second most important greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide.

Ranking 41 US States Decoupling Emissions & GDP Growth −
https://evobsession.com/ranking-41-us-states-decoupling-emissions-gdp-growth/

Between 2005 and 2017, 41 U.S. states and the District of Columbia reduced their energy-related carbon dioxide emissions while increasing real gross domestic product, debunking the myth that economic growth can only occur by compromising the health of the planet.

...

A combination of technological, market and policy factors have allowed states to reduce their CO2 emissions. This includes a major shift from coal to natural gas in the power sector; the rapid deployment of wind and solar power in recent years; more stringent efficiency standards for vehicles, lighting and appliances; and the shift to a more service-based economy.

KEB: LINKOS: Presne, my mame hlavne problem s technokratickym oligarchickym kapitalismem nebo jak to nazvat, kde jakkakoliv aktivita se vytezuje primarne za financnim ziskem a nebere v uvahu environmentalni dopady. U kazdyho procesu, aktivity, sektoru, ale i pestovani plodiny jde o to, v jakym kontextu a jakym zpusobem s tim pracujes. Neda se rict, ze repka je spatna, ze paleni biomasy je spatny, stejne jako se to neda rict treba o palmovym oleji per se.
Zalezi vzdycky na co se pouziva, jake jsou alternativy, jakym zpusobem se produkuje, etc etc.
Z tohodle duvodu mi prijdou lehce naivni ruzny bojkoty produktu, protoze mi predevsim musime zmenit zpusob rizeni nasi ekonomicky aktivity, aby ty environmentalni dopady do sebe nejak zahrnovala, coz je ukol, kterej je ale podstatne narocnejsi...

LINKOS: osobně si myslím, že prohlášení dřevěné biomasy a její pálení za CO2 neutrální byl jeden z největších environmentálních zločinů moderní doby.

That point makes the “social cost of carbon” one of the most critically important metrics underlying regulation of climate pollutants. An estimate of the dollar costs of each ton of carbon pollution caused by climate change, the social cost of carbon guides federal agencies that are required to consider the costs and benefits of proposed regulations. Federal agencies so far have used the social cost of carbon while writing regulations with more than $1 trillion in economic benefits.
In 2010, a governmental interagency working group in the Obama administration established the first federal social cost of carbon estimate of $45 per ton of carbon dioxide pollution. In 2017, newly inaugurated President Donald Trump quickly disbanded the interagency group by executive order, and within months his EPA slashed the metric to between $1 and $6. The latest research by an independent team of scientists concludes that the social cost of carbon should actually start at about $100 to $200 per ton of carbon dioxide pollution in 2020, increasing to nearly $600 by 2100.
Should presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden win the presidency in the November election, his federal agency appointees will undoubtedly set about revising the social cost of carbon to reflect the up-to-date climate science and economics research. The revised social cost of carbon will in turn justify more stringent federal climate regulations. A Donald Trump second term would instead result in another four years of underestimated climate impact costs and continued delays in efforts to curb carbon pollution.

The UK’s biggest pension fund, the government-backed National Employment Savings Trust (Nest) scheme with nine million members, is to begin divesting from fossil fuels in what climate campaigners have hailed as a landmark move for the industry.
The fund will ban investments in any companies involved in coal mining, oil from tar sands and arctic drilling. But the move puts Nest – a public corporation of the Department for Work and Pensions – potentially at odds with the current pensions minister, Guy Opperman, who earlier this month condemned divestment as “counter productive”.

indie 2022: solar jako 60 bloku temelina, celkem renewables jako 125 bloku temelina

India to hit large-scale PV target of 60 GW by 2022 – pv magazine International
https://www.pv-magazine.com/2020/07/31/india-to-hit-large-scale-pv-target-of-60-gw-by-2022/

India’s cumulative renewables capacity will hit 120 GW to 125 GW by December 2022, with solar to account for about 50% of the total, according to a new report by ICRA.

nejvic produkujici zeme cina, usa, indie, vsechny jdou renewable smerem... a evropa ma letos uz renewable prevahu na ostatnimi zdroji... to sou dobry zpravy ne?

Record high temperatures have been plaguing the Middle East, the mercury soaring to extreme levels during a blistering and unforgiving heat wave. Baghdad surged to its highest temperature ever recorded Tuesday.
Tuesday’s preliminary high of 125.2 degrees (51.8 Celsius) in Iraq’s capital city shatters its previous record of 123.8 degrees set on July 30, 2015, for any day of the year.

Today, oil giant Shell, a titan of the industry, revealed a net loss of USD 18.3 billion for the second quarter of this year, down from a net profit of USD 3 billion over the same period last year. This means Shell business is down USD 20 billion from last year.
Meanwhile, another titan, French oil company Total, has announced a USD 8 billion write-down on the value of its assets, including USD 7 bilion from dirty Canadian tar sands Canadian operations.
The company stated, “total now considers oil reserves with high production costs that are to be produced more than 20 years in the future to be ‘stranded.’”
What the industry denied for years, that its assets have become liabilities, has become a reality.
It is not just the international oil companies that are in trouble. The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) is the cartel that has dominated the oil and gas landscape for decades.
