And here's your 'Natural gas'  https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2020/02/super-potent-methane-in-atmosphere-oil-gas-drilling-ice-cores/

So, according to this a GWP (global warming potential) of 90 over twenty  years, those twenty years I tell you will matter.

How about a hundred years then?  https://www.sightline.org/2019/02/12/methane-climate-change-co2-on-steroids/

I'm not saying that we can lean on molten salt only, but I am of the opinion that we won't make it without hose power plants implemented, in a worst case the plutonium producing ones. Everything we want to mass produce will have its own problems. Batteries will, wind power, 'green' hydrogen and the list goes on. We can't back all the way to horse and buggy to fix it, even if it would be a pretty good choice for the next fifty years or so :)

we don't have the infra structures supporting it. Neither the horse power.

And we do need this democracy I'm talking about. It's a imperative that people are allowed to say their piece on those matters. In a worst case scenario it's a vote on extinction. Or a change. And you won't reach a change with the systems we have.

[yor_on]

I've discussed and linked green and blue hydrogen before. You have to look further back for that. Here's a partial picture of it, a much more rosy than the truth, it's so easy to see when it 'disinform' if you look at my sources and compare. I guess it's there to give you the impression of your government, and game of inequality, being on the road to becoming 'green'

I call bs

I use to say that there are no clean hands, anywhere. And sometimes it makes me wonder what we are proud of. It doesn't matter if legal proceedings evolve according to laws and regulations if those are written to allow corruption, bribery and lies. A legal system can't be any better than the laws created for it. The arms industry is a good example of that, as is international banking and offshore havens.

In Asia corruption seems to be growing, bribing you for your vote, you bribing them to get ahead for medical care, or matters of police. https://www.transparency.org/en/news/bribery-or-personal-connections

And it has a impact. On the way you look at your government, on your life. The less corruption the more trust. Without trust you don't have any type of democracy worth its name. It's a effect very similar to the effect of a war relative peace. It changes you.

In my case it's not that I don't have trust. It's just that the trust I find in all those governments and institutions in Western Europe being that they are too slow to change. And the reason why I define as the way they protect, wanting this game of inequality to survive. And that is indeed about our legal, and political, systems and undue influences upon them.

And for USA I don't know. It's a country built on mercantile beliefs and ideals. A country that encourage you to become rich by any means possible. As long as you don't get caught.

[yor_on]

Well, it all depends on how you look at it. This is a 'study' by the BBC stating that we will go to carbon neutrality by ? 2050 maybe. And it builds on promises, from politicians.

" "We now have north of 50% of global emissions covered by big countries with a zero emissions by mid-century goal," said Bill Hare from Climate Analytics, who helped lead the Climate Action Tracker analysis "

I very much doubt I will be around to call bs on it 2050

Unforeseen effects.
Maybe?

Well, depends on how you look at it.

[yor_on]

So how do you root out corruption, bribes, 'helping hands' in a government?
Well, you don't.

People are people. and we all want to feel 'special' don't we?

[yor_on]

You take it away, replace it by a democracy.

[yor_on]

A very scary thing.

[yor_on]

It's very hard to bribe a whole population.

I called earth a 'intelligent organism', it responds, well knowing what is does and how. It adapts to what happens with it.

We don't. We don't know, and we don't adapt. The reasons are too many to count, but one big driver is the game we play, and how it forms our beliefs and ideals. Doesn't matter how many degrees you collect, you still don't know.

[yor_on]

And we don't even use the principle of being prepared for the worst for it. Military does, they are always on the look for new 'worst case scenarios' that they then try to plan for. And they have a lot of history of failures to look back at too. As with the Maginot line and how that turned out.

[yor_on]

Instead we see stories as with the BBC, combining it with factual reports on what's really happening. It makes for a very blurry vision.

[yor_on]

We paint rosy dreams instead. And the reason why that is, is also simple. To do otherwise would question our game.

[yor_on]

Do you see what I'm saying? That there are more than facts in play here. Beliefs, Ideals, Greed, Ignorance, Hubris, Egoism and you can probably think up some more words for what defines you.

if you take a look at yourself that is.
