Under #US pressure, #EU moves to soften rules for fighting #climate #superpollutant 
▻https://www.politico.eu/article/under-us-pressure-eu-softens-climate-superpollutant-methane-rules

BRUSSELS — The #European_Union is bowing to demands from the #United_States and the #fossil_fuel industry that it scale back its efforts to fight a planet-warming superpollutant.

The EU in 2021 vowed to curb emissions of #methane and drew up legislation that forces the oil and gas sector to limit emissions of the powerful #greenhouse #gas, which is responsible for around a third of the global rise in #temperatures since the industrial era.

Now, however, #Brussels is poised to significantly weaken enforcement of its flagship methane #regulation, granting fossil fuel companies the freedom to pollute with a focus on protecting the continent’s energy security, according to a draft document seen by POLITICO.

Which transport is the fairest of them all?
▻https://theconversation.com/which-transport-is-the-fairest-of-them-all-24806

2014

How did you get to where you need to be today? Car, bike, public transport, or perhaps walking?

#Transport is one of the biggest sources of greenhouse gas emissions, globally and in Australia. The latest IPCC report finds transport accounted for around 14% of global greenhouse gas emissions in 2010. The latest figures in Australia show transport contributed to 17% of Australia’s #greenhouse #gas #emissions in 2013.

The good news is that by altering our behaviour, we can choose modes of transport that emit less greenhouse gases.

Climate change: Electrical industry’s ’dirty secret’ boosts warming - BBC News
▻https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-49567197

Cheap and non-flammable, SF6 is a colourless, odourless, synthetic gas. It makes a hugely effective insulating material for medium and high-voltage electrical installations.

It is widely used across the industry, from large power stations to wind turbines to electrical sub-stations in towns and cities. It prevents electrical accidents and fires.

However, the significant downside to using the gas is that it has the highest global warming potential of any known substance. It is 23,500 times more warming than carbon dioxide (CO2).

Just one kilogram of SF6 warms the Earth to the same extent as 24 people flying London to New York return.

It also persists in the atmosphere for a long time, warming the Earth for at least 1,000 years

Norway’s push for Arctic oil and gas threatens Paris climate goals – study | Environment | The Guardian

▻https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/aug/10/norways-push-for-arctic-oil-and-gas-threatens-paris-climate-goals-study

[...]

They focussed on Norway because it has long been a supporter of ambitious global reduction targets and has used part of its oil revenues to develop renewable technologies and tackle deforestation. If it cannot leave fossil fuels in the ground and make the transition to a carbon-free economy, the authors ask, then how can any of its rivals in less developed nations be expected to do so?

“This is uncharacteristically irrational behaviour for Norway,” said Hannah McKinnon of Oil Change International. “The Paris climate goals mean the world has to stay within a finite carbon budget. Norway’s current plans for fossil fuel production, expansion, and exploration are dangerously out of line with these budgets. Norway can’t be a climate leader at the same time as depending on new oil and gas production.”

The government says such accusations are unfair because they run against the convention at international climate talks for the responsibility for emissions to lie with consumers rather than producers. In this regard – of purely domestic carbon use – it is doing better than most nations because it gets 97% of its electricity from renewable sources, has a high carbon tax, is a leader in promotion of electric vehicles, and is pioneering carbon capture and storage at waste plants and cement factories.

It also notes that oil and gas output is flat, it is unrealistic to assume that all exploration will be successful and the trend for overall production is away from carbon-heavy oil and towards cleaner gas, which is important as a “transition fuel” for countries that are trying to move away from coal. Officials point out that without Norway’s gas the UK would be far further behind in meeting its climate goals.

“We are part of the solution, not the problem,” the deputy minister for petroleum and energy, Ingvil Smines Tybring-Gjedde, told the Guardian. “This government is investing more in renewables and energy efficiency than any other. But renewables are not yet at a level where we can switch off oil and gas. We need a bridge.”

The government argues that its oil and gas reserves are the most efficiently extracted in the world and that, so as long as there is demand for these fuels, it is better that they come from Norway. It also puts the number of newly offered exploration blocks closer to 50.

#Total : An Illusion of Climate Strategy

Total likes to present itself as a responsible business with a strategy for dealing with #climate_change. The French company even published its own climate strategy, explaining how it intends to contribute to the goal of keeping global warming below 2°C. But as 350.org France and Observatoire des multinationales reveal in this new report, Total’s actions and strategy are completely at odds with effective action to tackle the climate crisis. Total is facing pressure from some of its investors (...)

Governments are keeping an eye on the agricultural sector’s #greenhouse_gas emissions. A new concept is emerging: “climate-smart #agriculture,” with the objective of producing more, better. In the arena of climate negotiations, multinational corporations are getting set to promote “smart fertilizers” and plants genetically modified for heat tolerance. While industrial agriculture is about to win the battle with organic agriculture, researchers and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) are (...)

Given the massive inequalities generated by capitalism and the ecological urgency of #climate_change, “everything can change”, Naomi Klein claims in a new book. Provided we do not “give in to despair”, because “too many lives are at stake”, and “fight for a more just economic system”.
