Reforestations

Added to

" Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is seen by many experts as a vital tool in combating climate change. CCS technologies are considered especially important for hard-to-abate industries that cannot be easily replaced by electrification, such as oil and gas, iron and steel, and cement and refining. However, CCS is still very much in its infancy, capturing just 0.1 percent of global CO₂ emissions per year.  "

Hansen et al


2023

" According to a new paper by scientists from a dozen institutions, the world's average temperature will surpass 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial times within the next several years - much faster than most existing forecasts. The study goes on to say that without extreme action by the international community, temperatures will reach 2 degrees C above preindustrial levels before 2050 - also faster than most predictions."

https://news.climate.columbia.edu/2023/11/03/world-temperatures-will-blow-past-paris-goals-this-decade-asserts-new-study/

so how about it, 2025 and forward? Now that we 'adapted' our scientific out-views?

So how many are there?

globally? Good question but .. I think we have to guess. And maybe including other sources too like deep mining etc.

Here's one guess..

" Here, we develop a resource-type-specific, comprehensive inventory of methane emissions from 4.5 million AOG wells across 127 countries as of 2022, including detailed well-level data for 420 000 wells (9% of the total). "

Which brings us to our farming game, taken to its extreme through the industrial revolution, and your belief systems.

Immaterial 'wealth'

https://www.millerthomson.com/en/insights/structured-finance-and-securitization/music-asset-innovative-financing-music-catalogues/

Funny, and so f*ng excessive. Making a buck on fantasies, steered by greed.

" Investors including Blackstone, Carlyle and Michigan's state pension fund have raised at least $US4.4 billion ($6.7 billion) of debt backed by songs this year, a record amount that brings once-niche "Bowie bonds" into the mainstream as Wall Street hunts for yield. "

Basics versus excesses

You know, when schemes like those fails the reverberations will go through the whole financial system. And they have no funding in anything except greed.

You still believe in that policy UAE?

" The UAE also felt that, in addition to Israel's silence, the Trump administration had quietly backed Israel. According to the sources, it appeared that the Americans were "following Netanyahu" rather than clearly stating Washington's longstanding policy, since 1993, of supporting the establishment of a Palestinian state that includes parts of the West Bank. "

Nobody else does
