(For a deeper dive on what’s really going on here in Egypt, check out the Climate Action Against Disinformation’s website.). A small number of big corporations are responsible for the climate crisis. The best solution: Replace fossil fuels with renewable energy. This is not news, but it’s worth repeating.

To help avoid the worst possible consequences of climate change, however, the alliance states need to reach that 100-percent objective much more quickly. Emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from power plants in alliance states drop 88 percent and 77 percent respectively by 2040.

Indeed, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has just warned us of the decisive fate that this decade represents to act on climate for us and all the species that we depend on. Just as important, cleaning up the power grid can also decrease carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions. We can do this transition right.

Those currently operating fossil fuel plants generate 25 percent of U.S. JM: Quite simply, if we don’t clean up the power sector, we won’t get anywhere close to reducing the amount of carbon emissions needed to avoid the worst consequences of climate change. Not even close. And as the West Virginia v.

Fifty Years of Disinformation It’s no longer a secret that the US oil industry was well aware as early as 1957 that its products threaten the climate. As we now know, fossil fuel companies lied about it for decades to protect their profits. What accounts for that? million on more than 14,000 Facebook and Instagram ads.

Concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere have risen approximately 47 percent since 1750, mostly from the burning of fossil fuels for energy. Strategies for capturing carbon from fossil fuel power plants, to prevent it from entering the atmosphere, have long lingered on the sidelines. from 1990–2019.
