    Natural Gas Performed Heroically In Texas, Until It Didn’t
    https://www.forbes.com/...rmed-heroically-during-the-texas-cold-snap-until-it-didnt/?sh=81645e0dc5cf

    Texas governor Gregg Abbott followed that up with an appearance on Sean Hannity’s show, stating “'This shows how the Green New Deal would be a deadly deal for the United States of America. Our wind and our solar got shut down, and they were collectively more than 10 percent of our power grid, and that thrust Texas into a situation where it was lacking power on a statewide basis.”'

    Democratic Representative and Green New Deal supporter Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez fired back on Twitter with “The infrastructure failures in Texas are quite literally what happens when you *don’t* pursue a Green New Deal.”

    ...

    Hence, one could point to this graphic as evidence that between February 8 and February 10, wind power dropped dramatically while power from natural gas came to the rescue. If you only look at this graphic, then natural gas is the hero of the story.

    So natural gas was carrying a heavy load during the early stages of the storm, and that is the source of that particular narrative. Natural gas undoubtedly saved lives early in the storm. Of course, that’s what natural gas is meant to do — supply power when needed.

    On February 15th, one of the reactors at the South Texas Nuclear Generating Station tripped offline. At the same time, the freeze began to impact natural gas production sites. According to the Energy Information Administration, natural gas production in Texas fell almost 45% during the freeze.

    Many utilities began to lose natural gas supplies just as power demand was reaching record highs. The result was that the power that natural gas was expected to supply simply wasn’t there when needed, and therefore power outages ensued.

    ...

    The takeaway for me is that grids need plenty of backup power that is available on demand. This will become increasingly important as more intermittent sources of power are added to the grid. Unless we can ensure that battery backups can survive an outage that could last days — and could substantially increase demand for home heating at the same time — we need firm power sources that are ready to step up and fill the gaps

    Climatologist Michael E Mann: 'Good people fall victim to doomism. I do too sometimes' | Climate change | The Guardian
    https://www.theguardian.com/.../feb/27/climatologist-michael-e-mann-doomism-climate-crisis-interview

    (az na curackej kopanec do wikileaks dobrej rozhovor)


    The youth climate movement has galvanised attention and re-centred the debate on intergenerational ethics. We are seeing a tipping point in public consciousness. That bodes well. There is still a viable way forward to avoid climate catastrophe.

    You can see from the talking points of inactivists that they are really in retreat. Republican pollsters like Frank Luntz have advised clients in the fossil fuel industry and the politicians who carry water for them that you can’t get away with denying climate change any more. It doesn’t pass the sniff test with the public. Instead they are looking at other things they can do.

    ...

    Any time you are told a problem is your fault because you are not behaving responsibly, there is a good chance that you are being deflected from systemic solutions and policies. Blaming the individual is a tried and trusted playbook that we have seen in the past with other industries. In the 1970s, Coca Cola and the beverage industry did this very effectively to convince us we don’t need regulations on waste disposal. Because of that we now have a global plastic crisis. The same tactics are evident in the gun lobby’s motto, “guns don’t kill people, people kill people”, which is classic deflection. For a UK example look at BP, which gave us the world’s first individual carbon footprint calculator. Why did they do that? Because BP wanted us looking at our carbon footprint not theirs.

    ...

    Doom-mongering has overtaken denial as a threat and as a tactic. Inactivists know that if people believe there is nothing you can do, they are led down a path of disengagement. They unwittingly do the bidding of fossil fuel interests by giving up.

    What is so pernicious about this is that it seeks to weaponise environmental progressives who would otherwise be on the frontline demanding change. These are folk of good intentions and good will, but they become disillusioned or depressed and they fall into despair. But “too late” narratives are invariably based on a misunderstanding of science. Many of the prominent doomist narratives – [Jonathan] Franzen, David Wallace-Wells, the Deep Adaptation movement – can be traced back to a false notion that an Arctic methane bomb will cause runaway warming and extinguish all life on earth within 10 years. This is completely wrong. There is no science to support that.

    ...

    ad Bill Gates YMLADRIS

    His view is overly technocratic and premised on an underestimate of the role that renewable energy can play in decarbonising our civilisation. If you understate that potential, you are forced to make other risky choices, such as geoengineering and carbon capture and sequestration. Investment in those unproven options would crowd out investment in better solutions.

    Gates writes that he doesn’t know the political solution to climate change. But the politics are the problem buddy. If you don’t have a prescription of how to solve that, then you don’t have a solution and perhaps your solution might be taking us down the wrong path.

    Book Review: How Everything Can Collapse: A Manual for Our Times - Holmgren Permaculture Design
    https://holmgren.com.au/book-review-how-everything-can-collapse-a-manual-for-our-times/

    David Holmgren, co-originator of the permaculture concept, has just published a review of the book "How Everything Can Collapse". He writes:

    "Reading this book did more than just mollify my adverse reaction to whether the term ‘collapse’ might be the best word to encompass the diversity of likely future scenarios. It generated a personal acceptance that I am, along a diversity of thinkers and writers acknowledged in this extensively referenced work, a collapsologist.... Servigne and Stevens have provided a great introduction to a field of study that cannot be investigated without that investigation dispelling the illusion of separation of subject and observer."

    Methane Emissions Data: Regulations Needed To Stop Atmosphere Warming In Permian Basin.
    https://www.forbes.com/...ations-needed-to-stop-atmosphere-warming-in-permian-basin/?sh=42a7ee753d47

    In New Mexico, emissions from the oil and gas industry were 53% of state greenhouse gas emissions in 2018. 

    ...

    Part 2 focused on flaring of gas, which is a waste of money and harmful to the upper atmosphere. Ways to reduce flaring of gas were discussed. In general, flaring (30%) is important, but methane leakage (70%) is more serious, partly because the latter leakages are unburned which means the gas has 21 times more atmospheric warming effect than flared gas that is usually burned to form CO2.

    EDF has measured methane emissions across New Mexico by satellite which is coordinated with ground-based detectors. The following information is from their report updated in November 2020:

    ·       Methane emissions across New Mexico tally over 1.1 million metric tons per year - equivalent to global warming caused by burning fuel in 21 million cars and trucks for a year.

    $271 million worth of natural gas is wasted every year in New Mexico by leaks and venting and flaring.

    Texas Shows Us Our Water Future with Climate Change: It Ain’t Pretty
    https://cleantechnica.com/.../27/texas-shows-us-our-water-future-with-climate-change-it-aint-pretty/

    Earlier this week, 1 in 22 Americans didn’t have water or was on a boil water alert. Nearly 15 million people in Texas alone were without safe drinking water in the wake of the massive storm, cold snap, and power outages. Many more in Oklahoma, Louisiana, and other hard-hit Southern states also lost water or were on “voluntary” or mandatory boil water alerts. Wastewater treatment plants lost power and spewed more than a million gallons of raw sewage into frigid waters, threatening downstream users. The misery of being unable to flush your toilet, shower, or safely drink water in your own home was often compounded by the chattering teeth and sleeplessness from unbearably cold bedrooms. Low-income families and people of color were disproportionately harmed by breaking pipes and power failures, just as they are disproportionately at risk from contaminated water supplies.

    Stark warning: Combating ecosystem collapse from the tropics to the Antarctic -- ScienceDaily
    https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/02/210226103746.htm

    The 19 ecosystems include the Great Barrier Reef, mangroves in the Gulf of Carpentaria, the Mediterranean forests and woodlands, the arid zone of central Australia, Shark Bay seagrass beds in Western Australia, Great Southern Reef kelp forests, Gondwanan conifer forests of Tasmania, Mountain Ash forest in Victoria, and moss beds of East Antarctica.

    Drivers of ecosystem collapse are pressures from global climate change and regional human impacts, categorised as chronic 'presses' (eg. changes in temperature and precipitation, land clearing) or acute 'pulses' (eg. heatwaves, storms, fires and pollution after storms).

    Zamrzlý Texas rozděluje Ameriku. Zelená energie nás zklamala, říkají někteří - iDNES.cz

    „Pokud bychom přistoupili na dohodu Green Deal, byla by to pro USA smrt,” uvedl pro Fox News guvernér Texasu Greg Abbott. Reagoval tak na navrhovaný plán, podle něhož by měl Texas přejít právě na zelenou energii. „Ukázalo se nyní, že fosilní paliva prostě stále potřebujeme. Větrná a sluneční energie evidentně selhala,” dodává.

    ...

    Přechod na obnovitelné zdroje energie je jeden z hlavních politických cílů nového prezidenta USA Joea Bidena. Americká společnost tak nadále zůstane rozdělena na dva tábory. Podle klimatického experta Jesseho Keenana je hlavní problém v tom, že ohledně obnovitelných zdrojů a následné klimatické krize mezi obyvateli koluje mnoho dezinformací a konspiračních teorií.

    Seth Itzkan - Agriculture: An Invention of Desperation
    https://m.facebook.com/groups/Soil4Climate/permalink/2938782593060142/

    Agriculture was as invention of desperation resulting from the decimation of megafauna. It was a retreat, not an advance. No one would tear up a prairie with stone tools to grow and eat maize if 2 to 6 ton aurochs, giraffe, and mastodon were still roaming on it. The combined beginning of both soil death and global warming was proceeded by the hunting to extinction of the largest grazing animals that co-evolved with carbon-rich grasslands. Soil restoration to the degree that it can heal the climate, will happen when cows and other livestock are fully integrated as allies in the effort - where they are managed as proxies for the prodigious herds of grazing animals that for tens of millions of years dominated life on the landed surface of the earth.

    We are once again in an era of desperation. This time, however, conditions require us to restore the megafauna impact on soil for the sake of both protein and climate. To do this, we need a new invention. Fortunately, we have it. Holistic Management. Agriculture can continue for vegetables and some grains, but, the grain-based model of ag is going to have to profoundly change. Large parts of the world that are today in grain agriculture, will, in fact, have to be returned to prairie with grazing. Almost the entire US midwest is an example. In addition, large parts of the world that were once grasslands but are now so decimated they're called "deserts," will need to be restored ("re-greened"). Examples of this include the Sahara and the Mojave "deserts." This is all possible. It begins when we acknowledge the prospects for a carbon-negative and verdant future - one that is rich in soil, grasses, and ruminants.
