Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
Pushing a solution that requires dependence on animal agriculture is just someone trying to sell you the Brooklyn Bridge.
~~Also, was there supposed to be a linked article?~~
~~Why does just a picture and a headline have so many upvotes? Is this community asleep at the wheel??~~
Never mind, it's fixed now, and the linked article clearly views the "solution" as a negative.
“Let’s take all that yucky methane released by cows and make it fuel!”
Methane is roughy 1000x as potent at global warming as CO2.
You may not like cattle farming, but take the win.
Gonna need a source on your 1000x. I can find 27.9x the potential, per unit mass. I think my point still stands: they're taking a problem and merely converting it into a different form of the problem, and calling it a solution.
Reduce, reuse, recycle.
I think you need to compare the greenhouse effect from methane as compared to that CO2, NOx and SOx released by burning off the methane. There is a reasone the EPA requires waste water treatment plants to flare off methane rather than freely releasing it.
This just links to a picture?
Edit: OP fixed it. If you're not seeing it try refreshing. Federation lag and all.
Fixed.
Thanks. Figured it was a mistake.
