Mexico’s carbon emissions are about the same as those of Texas, the highest-emitting US state. Per capita emissions, however, are far lower, given Mexico’s much larger population. Unfortunately, there are doubts about how much progress Mexico will make in cutting emissions.

These investments must address the most critical threats facing Canada’s fresh waters, including nuisance and toxic algae blooms, toxic chemical and plastic pollution, deforestation, and wetland loss. It is very disappointing to see that this budget does not include much-needed funds to support transit systems now.

Methane is a greenhouse gas that has more heat-trapping power than CO2, although it also clears out of the atmosphere much faster than does CO2. Controlling the methane emissions, some of it from wasteful accidental release at natural gas wells, is critical for controlling global warming. Hopefully not.

Acidification : Reducing the pH rating of a substance making it more acidic in nature, for example, increased carbon emissions lead to the oceans absorbing more of it, increasing acidification and damaging ecology such as coral bleaching.

Methane is a natural gas and one burnt as fuel in many parts of the world, but it too increases air density and the greenhouse effect. The impact is proportionally high considering the low levels of the gas in the atmosphere (14). Deforestation. Nitrous Oxide (13) is a byproduct of agricultural processes.

Mainstream journalists reported, repeatedly, that the Amazon was “the lungs of the world,” and that deforestation was like a nuclear bomb going off. At 400 pages, with 100 of them endnotes, Apocalypse Never covers climate change, deforestation, plastic waste, species extinction, industrialization, meat, nuclear energy, and renewables.

In fact, both Environmental Progress’ web site and the central argument of Apocalypse Never is that energy, environmental, and moral progress are united, e.g., that hydro-electric dams and coal are better than burning wood and dung, that natural gas is better than burning coal, and that nuclear is better than natural gas.
