Well keep funneling demand to three countries for Capitol monopolized market “fossil fuels” under the “climate scam” just because in usa label it harmful, ie russia, Iran, Iraq, as we see now demand never changes, the world still turns and needs it!! Its “harmful to produce it in usa, yet not harmful on the few countries we fund and increased our full supply from now this past 14 months!! LIESSSS!! GREED and gouging has graduated these TYRANTS and enslaving demons from millionaires to billionaires, to trillionaires and now fueling soon mass famine, homelessness, etc etc etc “cap and trade” lies and dissected deeply is if I put my hand on a red hot burner in usa and then go to russia and put my hand on a red hot burner hmmmmm what I am not going to burn my hand? According to these mindless zombie demons lying thatis how it works!!! Now pushing the biggest crisis soon of nuclear war with russia! Yep makes sense to meee👏👏👏👏

@Vesa Wuoristo Current plantlife has developed in an atmosphere carrying about 600 ppm Carbon Dioxide, or 200 ore than we currently have. So you are right about the “out of balance” part, just not in the way you think…

@Alexander Kale the energy is stored in water and metal. The process release energy when the two come together by chemical reactions which split chemical bonds.

Well at least they’re finally coming around I guess? Considering the Oil & Gas industry is one of the most archaic, and hardest/slowest industry’s to innovate in.
But all things considered, that’s also where the big bucks are made. Meaning I’m sure they can afford to change themselves without their customers having to suffer. Should only require a bit less greed, a bit more self-preservation, and maybe some guidance from enviromental intellectuals lol

⚠️THE WAR IS GOING ON⚠️
Please share this on any Russian sources:
СЕЙЧАС ВАЖНАЯ ИНФОРМАЦИЯ:
Я и все люди в мире которые хотят окончания войны просим вас об этом:
Люди, надежда сейчас на Россиян. Сопротивление сильнее всего, когда оно идёт изнутри. Если вы можете, прошу, выходите на улицу, делайте хоть что либо, это может спасти жизни!
Я знаю что сейчас вам тяжело как никогда. Экономика на голову рушется. И за неправильные слова у вас могут отнять работу, учёбу или свободу. Но если война продолжится, то они уже ничего не будут значить. Так что, пожалуйста, хотя бы расспростроняйте информацию, держать людей в неведении – это преступление против людских прав. Если вы сейчас не заговорите, то потом уже будет позно. Распростроняйте информацию. Прошу вас как обычный человек который страдает от войны.
Ради будущего всех нас.
Не молчите.
Не верьте слепо источникам, даже мне. Старайтесь докопаться до истины своими же усилиями. Мир в ваших руках.
Russian people don’t have a clue about what’s actually going on. It’s a call for them to spread the information by any risks and by any possible ways. We need resistance from within to defeat Putler. I beg you, please share this!

And yet report after study has demonstrated that every promise made by the O&G sector to reduce emissions, invest in green tech, and stop exploration has just been cover for further development, emissions, and exploration. This is greenwashing of the highest order, and anyone who believe this is a mark.

The speaker shared a well articulated road map to reducing carbon emissions, with different target levels of 1,4 and 20 gigatons. He shared the changing perception of oil and gas companies who now see themselves as ‘energy’ companies with the example of his own company investing in renewables – wind power. The fiscal incentives and disincentives needed to achieve this were indicated in the cost differential of reducing emissions. Today many FIs often under pressure from shareholders are withdrawing investments from companies engaged in producing and supplying fossil fuels. Fiscal measures would only encourage this. The Paris Agreement has provided a framework and objectives to achieve desired carbon emission goals. These can be reached only if the process of reducing carbon emissions does not severely dislocate economic activity. In developing countries where huge populations cause a large energy footprint, but per capita energy consumption/carbon emission is far lower than the developing world. The West is profligate in energy use to sustain a standard of living far above levels the world has ever known and is simply not sustainable if primary energy sources remain fossil fuels. A mainstay of the Industrial Revolutions since the 18th century were based on discovery of new energy sources and technology like the steam engine and electric power. Unless the developed world now is fully committed to using its superior resources and scientific capacity to help achieve a worldwide Energy Revolution in this century, the Paris Agreement will remain just a piece of paper. It is unrealistic to demand that the developing world reduce carbon emissions without offering alternative technologies and viable energy sources.

“Green” energy is only green in emissions – creation requires massive mining like we have never seen and end of life will result in millions of tons of hazardous waste and millions of yards of landfills needed
Not to mention it is not and will not be an on-demand system that modern society requires

It’s going to be difficult but there are signs of hope – O&G investment IS falling, which means more expensive Gas which means more EVs bought which reduced Oil demand & thus lower production.
Still, the average car age is around 11 years & we are looking at least 2 cycles (probably more) to retire all the gas cars. That’s too long.
there is still no “Volkswagen” of the EV market – a truly affordable EV – not to mention issues still surrounding plug ins.
It’s going to happen but to do it in time is going to take more incentives that we have now.
