'Natural gas' isn't a solution

"This week's decision by the centre-left government, which took power in 2022 with a mandate for climate reform, clears Woodside Energy's North West Shelf project to run until 2070, subject to a final review. The step was hailed by the company and the energy industry, which see continued operation of liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants as a cleaner alternative to fuels such as coal.

....

"It's just a staggering number of extra emissions," said Malte Meinshausen, a climate scientist at the University of Melbourne. Woodside estimates the extension will pump out a further 4.3 billion tons of carbon emissions over the plant's lifetime."

There are so many faces lost those days, to politicians and others here in the West. And they all need something done to fix it. So our war drums won't stop. And with USA we just don't know, do we?

Very human, but with politics and geopolitics involved quite dangerous. Especially when playing with other peoples life's.

[yor_on]

And for Russia then?

A call to war

[yor_on]

But that never stopped it historically, not from stopping peoples willingness to offer other peoples life's in exchange for keeping their own 'face', nor from ignoring where it will lead. So it won't stop a thing this time either.

[yor_on]

It's incredible how failed we are, as a species.

[yor_on]

Before it disappears

"The Annual Greenhouse Gas Index (or AGGI) is a measure that tracks the global warming influence of all human-emitted greenhouse gases, which was 51 percent higher in 2023 than it was in 1990. Together, these gases trapped nearly 3.5 extra Watts of heat energy per square meter in 2023 compared to 1750."

Let us check our logic's

First we pumped in weapons of all kinds in Ukraine, defending Ukraine's borders. Sanctioned and 'lent' Russia's wealth invested outside its borders. Then we started sending long range weapon systems able to hit inside Russia, finally allowing Ukraine to hit those targets. We also arranged various 'peace conferences' without asking for Russia's involvement.

And now we're going to send 'peace keepers'?

To Ukraine? Without peace negotiations, or with them? And without Russia? Or with it?

[yor_on]

If you were Russia

Would you accept it?

[yor_on]

Without us peace would already be there. Not a peace we in the West might be happy for but one that would allow Ukraine citizens to go about with their life's again.

[yor_on]

In the mean time this war has accelerated green house emissions, destroyed forests and fields and arranged for a nuclear disaster several times. Not only a nuclear war but also about nuclear power plants becoming 'legitimate military targets' used for blackmails. War has its own logic's and they stink.

[yor_on]

It's all about saving face, don't try to make it into something else.

[yor_on]

With our idiots finding war cheaper than losing face

[yor_on]

If you find me hard to understand.

Exchange Russia for USA, or China, in a same situation and ask yourself how they would handle it

[yor_on]

You can put those two together

One about underestimating methane emissions

"There has been a disturbing recent surge in atmospheric methane, which is more than 25 times more potent as a greenhouse gas over the course of a century than CO₂."

And somewhere around - 84 times - more potent 'Global Warming Potential', if counted over a twenty years period instead.

2022  https://phys.org/news/2022-07-methane-emissions-highs-pandemicfour-sensitive.html

Together with this

" While it is good news that the atmosphere's scrubbing capacity has been increasing, it also suggests that methane emissions are rising faster than scientists and policy makers assumed. "
