According to a new report, efforts to keep global warming to a few more tenths of a degree are being undermined by the war-inspired natural gas boom.
Planning and Build-Up of Liquified and Other Natural Gas-Due to An Energy Triggered By Russian’s Invasion of Ukraine-Woold Add 2 Billion Tonnes of Carbon Dioxide Equivalent (1.
9 Billion Metric Tonnes) to Year to The Air By 2030, According to a A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A Report Release Thursday By Climate Action Tracker at International Climate Talks in Egypt.
That amount of greenhouse gas “Hinders, if not catastrophically hinders, chances of achieving 1.
According to climate scientist Bill Hare, CEO of Climate Analytics, one of the organisations behind the Climate Climate Climate Climate Climate Climate Climate Action Tracker, which monitors and analyses climate promises and action, the international warming-limiting goal is “5 degrees” Celsius since pre-industrial times.
The Climate Has Warmed Already 1. 1 to 1. 2 Degrees Celsius Since Pre-Industrial Times, Leaving Little Room To Keep Below The 1. Paris set a 5-limit in 2015.
The analysts were astounded by the sheer number of liquefied natural gas construction projects in the pipeline, according to Hare. According to the report, if everything goes according to plan, the build-up would produce five times as much gas as it is expected to replace from Russia.
The report asserts that “this response to the energy crisis is an overreach that must be resisted.”
One Key Way Scientists Calculate Howly The World is To Keep to The 1.
A carbon budget for the 5 Degree Goal or the amount of carbon emissions The Lng Planned Build-Up Would Consume About 10% of That 460 Billion Tonne Budget on ITS OWN, According to the Tracker Report. The carbon budget has about nine years or so left, according to Hare.
HARE SAID NORTH AMERICA HAS ABOUT 70% OF THE NEW GAS PRODUCTION FACILITIES PLANTED. Europe, Which Needs The Gas But Doesn’t Have It, Is Investing in Recent Systems.
If everything is built up, according to the Tracker Report, there will either be an excessive amount of carbon pollution or stranded energy assets that won’t be used.
Leaders in the natural gas industry claim that the fuel is not a problem but rather the solution to the world’s problems.
The Global Conversation has changed.
The pick-up version of how vital energy is to not only national security but also economic security has also changed, according to Karen Harbert, chief executive officer of the American Gas Association, who spoke to the Associated Press.
“Natural gas is not only necessary for Ukraine’s survival; it can also help reduce global carbon emissions. It has the ability to help people escape energy poverty. And here in the United States, We’re Blessed to have a lot of natural gas today.
“Former Vice President Al Gore, a climate activist for more than 30 years, said decades ago that he and others called natural gas a bridge to the future because it was aiding in the transition away from far dirtier coal in the United States and elsewhere. but don’t go.
“Now I Believe It’s A Classic Bridge To Nowhere,” Gore Told The Associated Press in A 30-Minute Interview at The International Climate Summit in Egypt.
He claimed that methane leaking from pipelines, wells, and other sources is a particularly serious issue for natural gas.
The Climate Action Tracker Report claimed that despite big emitters not yet acting, only making promises, last year’s methane pledge “has not yet lived up to the hype.”
The Tracker Says that since Last Year’s Climate Talks, There have been Only A Little Progress in Pulls and Action to Reduces Carbon Emissions..
