This group of nearly all the world’s nations says that it: [R]ecognizes the need for deep, rapid and sustained reductions in greenhouse gas emissions in line with 1.5 °C Coal is supposed to be “phased down” except where the resulting carbon dioxide is removed and securely stored (which may or may not actually be feasible).

Methane (CH4) is a greenhouse gas that is 86 times more potent than carbon dioxide (CO2) over a twenty year cycle, and accounts for nearly one-fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions. The importance of methane … Continue reading Methane Reduction Potential in the EU Between 2020 and 2030.

With empirical data and more and better modeling, it has become clear that, to first approximation, the eventual anthropogenic warming from carbon dioxide is tied to the cumulative emissions. This figure is from the AR6 SPM: The relationship between cumulative carbon emissions and temperature (SPM AR6).

Steep reductions in emissions of methane—which traps 81 times as much heat as carbon dioxide in the first 20 years in the atmosphere—are among the most important steps for slowing climate change in the short term. By Phil McKenna The U.S.
Greenbuilding Law
AUGUST 7, 2022
As governments enact mandatory greenhouse gas emission laws and as businesses voluntarily make “net zero” pledges, we are increasingly working with organizations, first to understand and calculate their GHG emissions, then to implement strategies for efficacious yet frictionless reductions. from Scope 1 sources only?)

Back in 2021, the federal government committed to ending the export of thermal coal before 2030. Not only does burning coal contribute massively to rising greenhouse gas emissions, it also endangers people’s health. When burnt, that amount of coal would produce 40 million tonnes of carbon dioxide, or the equivalent of 8.7
