Carbon Dioxide Fossil Fuels Greenhouse Technology

Last week, I joined my colleagues at COP28 in Dubai , as negotiators and civil society push for a fossil fuel phaseout to meet climate goals. The industry is pushing a narrative that misleadingly calls out emissions , not fossil fuels as the problem. Global net anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions 1990–2019.

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).

by Klaus Lackner, Arizona State University Two centuries of burning fossil fuels has put more carbon dioxide, a powerful greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere than nature can remove. As that CO2 builds up, it traps excess heat near Earth’s surface, causing global warming.

With proposed federal regulation of greenhouse gas emissions by the Securities and Exchange Commission requiring GHG disclosure and new state statutes, including a new Maryland law that requires not only disclosure, but also a mandated reduction in GHG emissions, a greater appreciation of the subject of GHG appears in order.

With a new federal budget in the works, Finance Canada is currently developing two new investment tax credits – one for clean technology and one for hydrogen. Hydrogen is all the rage because when it is burned, it doesn’t create any greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. A new fossil fuel subsidy in 2023! The post What?

When it comes to climate action, it can be difficult to understand what makes a strong climate plan that puts us on a pathway to zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions – and what new policies and tools are actually dangerous distractions from real solutions. Producing and using fossil fuels creates a lot of damage beyond climate disasters.

Human activity adds more than 50 gigatons of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere each year. New Solid Carbon technology might be able to lock climate-warming carbon dioxide below ocean bedrock. What if scientists could turn back the clock on greenhouse-gas emissions – just a little? By Dr Kate Moran.
