Fossil fuel companies know how to stop global warming. Why don’t they? | Myles Allen
Take action on climate change at . The fossil fuel industry knows how to stop global warming, but they’re waiting for someone else to pay, says climate science scholar Myles Allen. Instead of a total ban on carbon-emitting fuels, Allen puts forth a bold plan for oil and gas companies to progressively decarbonize themselves and…

The problem lies to us, why do we expect oil industry to kill their business off??
Saul Sykes
December 5, 2020 at 2:50 pm
Solar and onshore wind are already the two cheapest energy sources, the cost of solar has dropped by over 80% in 10 years, it still hasn’t stopped energy companies from investing in fossil fuel sources instead of them. If you want to make fossil fuels irrelevant and economically unviable then you need to cut off the government subsidies that go to the energy companies that harvest and use them, that’s what’s making the positive change criminally slow.
Saul Sykes
December 5, 2020 at 3:01 pm
We’re probably never going to completely cut off fossil fuels, not until we can make hydrogen power safe and viable anyway. But we absolutely can remove fossil fuels from our energy production and the vast majority of our travel which is where the majority of emissions come from. That said, removing fossil fuels is not the only solution required. We need mass reforesting campaigns, a fundamental rethink of how we grow food and raise animals, a major change to plastic use (as most plastics are made from petrochemical byproducts), and a serious think about population control (this is the one that’s going to get me shouted at).

global warming can be debated.. negative effects of polution can not.. the two are corelated.. place huge fines and tariffs on pollution.. stop poisoning the ground.. the water .. the animals.. ourselves.. in turn the planet will be healthier and carbon emissions will go down.. maybe spend a huge amount of the money spent on debating global warming on cleaning up pollution.. force oil companies to give up the patents they bought and hid away that would have lead to alternative fuels and much higher mpg gas technologies

Dave Cauwels
December 5, 2020 at 7:48 pm
He failed to mention a few key points that people should know. 1) the fossil fuel industry is the number one funder of clean energy projects and carbon offset projects. 2) “decarbonization” is the wrong term for what he is speaking about. He is actually describing carbon offset, where you let the carbon enter the atmosphere and you either pull it back out or stop the release of carbon somewhere else. 3) he gave no real examples of this happening. The best example now is clean coal. “clean coal” is real, and has managed to capture the pollutants from smokestacks to create pesticides and other chemicals, something that can be done at scale and power plants.
Jonatan Jönsson
December 5, 2020 at 7:58 pm
If the fossil fuel companies don’t comply with this suggestion, make them pay a tax for how much it would cost to capture the CO2. They will quickly realize that they should capture it closer to the source. If money is the problem, solve the problem with money…

We cut through and consume everything around us. It’s our destiny as a highly developed parasite, equipped with “intelligence” and self awareness. But we ain’t clever enough, never were and never will be. We can only decelerate our downfall as good as possible. No escape to the stars and eternal survival for us.

They were told to burn it all down, back in the 30s. They were promised that once the ruin forced us to accept outside help then it would be restored. They were told they would be made pharaohs, like last time.
It was a lie and they know it now.
Now there are three types where once they were one. The first is trying to repair the damage with no comfortable way out. The second is doubling down on capitalism to fund colonies for the very few. The third is doubling down on destruction in order to honour the old deal, being led to believe that they will still be rewarded.

John Schofield
December 5, 2020 at 10:50 pm
Myles claims here that this is purely a question of forcing fossil fuel companies to capture the CO2 that their profucts emit. There is a big assumption here that the energy that it takes to extract the fossil fuel and then capture the CO2 from burning it will be less than the energy provided by the fossil fuel. To me that is not obvious, particularly when you look at hard to extract fuels like oil from tar sands.
If that assumption does not hold then fossil fuel comanies would have to buy renewable energy in order to sell their product. Surely that will only make sense for a few really high value applications. It makes no sense at all for cars where the renewable energy can be used directly in EVs.

Fossil companies generate fossil emitting substances entirely in reaction to the sign off by public servants of auctions, leases, licenses, loans, permits, procurement, projects, regulatory gifts, subsidy, trade, treaty and use. Is it impossible for public servants to “effectively ban” all fossil emission?
Not at all.
From ASHRAE through ZETA, the world’s technology leaders have set out paths to replace fossil entirely with sustainable alternatives by 2030. By coincidence, 2030 is the last year we can emit fossil fumes if we hope to avoid chain reaction runaway to Hothouse Earth and the loss of our farms, fisheries and forestry worldwide.
Sadly, drawdown is more nuanced than some suggest. 25 times as much carbon flux is from natural as from fossil sources, and ice core export Mauro Rubino in 2013 proved only fossil emissions raise equilibrium GHE. If taken from air, or reduced meat consumption, or sequestering biochar as terra preta, it takes more than two dozen times the volume to have the effect of suppressing one tonne of CO2 from fossil.
Are such fossil industry initiatives as CCI or “blue” H2 worthwhile? On the whole, no. These processes are so leaky that it is likely they emit far more CO2e than even conventional oil producing the same amount of energy. The volume of such leaks is habitually underreported by industry at least 50%. Moreover, these activities are marginal business activities that make practical more extraction and lower fossil prices through economies of scale. Especially, because these ‘green’ initiatives are invariably subsidized, your tax dollars to to line the pockets of the fossil industry as it dumps more and more fossil fume wastes into your air, damaging your farms, fisheries, forests and more.
Would it be easier with the fossil fuel industry helping? Absolutely. However, the track record of greenwashing, misdirection, reallocation of funds from government meant for green alternatives and so forth makes the fossil sector inherently impossible to trust without the deepest levels of transparency and scrutiny by the most zealously suspicious auditors keeping in mind either actual zero, or zero reached by 25 times drawdown of GHE credits as fossil debits is the target.
Cap through the public service fossil emissions relative to 2019 levels below 90% in 2021, 80% in 2022 steadily in 10% nominal steps per year to 0% in 2030, and not only will agencies like ASHRAE and ZETA as private actors have their way paved to replace fossil with cheaper, cleaner, more plentiful alternatives, but also the fossil industry itself will follow or will divest.
Write your government representatives explaining this, showing them also that economic collapse is inevitable even without figuring for climate change — bitumen has been functionally bankrupt worldwide since 2015 held on the market by government imposed barriers to exit — and that collapse will make 2008 look like a picnic, and reminding them sometimes their job is to say no to new requests for use of resources. Today, that “sometimes” is always, for fossil, until we get CO2 levels back below 350 ppm.
Noukz
December 6, 2020 at 6:32 pm
Unlike all the other “countdown” speeches and ideas, this is the first one that doesn’t really make sense, on so many levels. We have to ultimately stop removing fossils from the earth, no matter how powerful oil companies are. There are many other ways of doing this, cheaper, and quicker. People have to be told what to do and what not to do, that’s why we need laws, and law-enforcers. No mercy for the “Big oils”!

Just want to add that we are talking here about climate or respective geo engineering, wich is not as easy or risk free as you might think after this video. Don’t get me wrong. The man got a point and states it, but climate engeneering is a field wich is highly complex and fragile. There is a huge scientific debate going on how and if we should use ist at all. Just mind that there are a whole more technologys discussed right now than CO2 storage (CCS in this video if I am right) and I don’t want to go too far here.
As fore example a leaking CO2 storage could have devestating effects on ecosystems and groundwater.
Nevertheless I am glad he brought that topic into a wider range of an audience. This should be discussed and can only be done responsibly on a transnational level.
Thanks for your attention reader. 🙂

4:09 ‘Consumers can’t do this’ it’s a true statement when applied to a ton of V8 exhaust gas and burying a ton of carbon. Burying CO2 in a sealed former coal mine or oil field must be the most stupid idea anyone ever heard.. as though it will stay there, it’s up there with the big impressive looking machine with big fans on top of it that is going to act like a big vaccum cleaner and remove enough CO2 to make a difference, conventional wisdom fairytales, all a fantasy.
Thing is that ‘consumers’ can do so much more, ‘consumers’ can reduce their consumption, they can grow their own foods whilst sequestrating carbon and not generating as much CO2 (onions from New Zealand for sale in Europe, please make it stop!) and as much plastic waste ‘consumers’ can go off grid, ‘consumers’ can stop driving 400 hp SUVs day in day out, ‘consumers’ can stop eating so much beef, ‘consumers’ can decide not to support the fast food industry, ‘consumers’ can stop worrying about their individual freedoms and start taking notice of the collective solutions that are needed to address the problems of the planet.
We can regreen the deserts we’ve made and stop using the till and the petrochemicals we do to grow our food and start rethinking about how we eat and keep warm, it is possible to have a reduction in the reliance on fossil fuels and still live a life of luxury, however ‘consumers’ will fight tooth and nail against any perception that they might not still be living in 1958.

Yes there are ice ages, which is all directly correlated to the positioning of the earths axis to the sun, not what man kind doing. Milutin Milankovitch, look him up he shares the same idea. Tsunami can change the earth’s orbit too, which can bring earth closer to the sun. Just think of the amount of energy there is in a tsunami.

It also means that the hole in the ozon layer is expanding which also isnt pretty at all because it protects us from harmful ultraviolet radioation and in case you didnt know it isnt just extremely harmful for our planet but also for the human species as this may cause many health problems.
