Carbon Capture for Ethanol from Corn
Carbon capture for the CO2 produced by fermenting corn into ethanol for E10 or E85 fuel for ICE cars is demonstrated to be 12-20 times less economic, and has 4 times more emissions.
Climate Change
Climate change and net Zero is a compelling challengee
OPEC Countries Anti-Climate Change Actions
OPEC nations are like tobacco companies who say the end of tobacco and fought tooth and nail to slow down the rates of smoking. OPEC realises there industry relies on slowing the rate of reductions or other strategies to continue making money. And killing the planet.
Zero Emission Shipping by 2050
Shipping emissions were excluded from the Paris Accord, but the LMO has committed to zero emissions for shipping by 2050. The challenge is how to change an industry of over 100,000 vessels.
Becoming Uninsurable Due To Climate Change
Have you had extreme weather as a result of climate change? Those extreme weather will mean you will be unable to insure your property from the effects of climate change.
France Solar Carparks vs Nuclear
France has passed a law to have all carparks, old and new, over 80 spaces covered with solar panels. The electricity is greater than 10 nuclear power plants, cost 1/10th and built in 1/3rd of the time.
USA Inflation Reduction Act
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 has driven a huge investment in battery factories, hydrogen, wind and solar farms, battery storage and other emission reduction technologies.
Arctic Ice Cover Gone in 20 Years
A June 2023 article concludes sea ice will be sbsent in September as early as a decade, contradicting IPPC 6 conclusion it would not be until mid century. Lack of sea ice has major implications for climate change and weather
Low Investment in Renewables By Oil Companies
Oil companies talk about changing to renewable energy but their investment in new energy is low to zero. Their claims should be dismissed as greenwashing.
Direct Air Capture – Unproven
DAC is at best unproven and more likely a strategy by major oil companies to delay meaningful reduction in green house gas emissions
Ethanol Worse than Gasoline for Global Warming
Is ethanol worse than gasoline for global warming? Turns out it is worse! A recent publication showed that corn ethanol compared with petroleum products increased: So while it is clear ethanol mixtures for gasoline is bad policy, ethanol continues to be used in transportation due to the large
Carbon Capture and Storage Fail
Carbon Capture and storage is a strategy for reducing carbon emissions but the evidence is that it is a scam for fossil fuel companies to use government subsidies while at the same time increasing carbon emissions. Even worse, taxpayers will be responsible for end of life projects.
Fossil Fuel Subsidies Killing Our Earth
Governments try to pick winners and provide subsidies. The subsidies for fossil fuel industry is enormous and is over $5.9 trillion or more than 6.8% globally. In Australia direct and indirect subsidies are over $44 billion and 3.2% of GDP
Green Aluminium is an Easy Technology
Making aluminum green is easy with renewable energy. While there are some more substantial technologies to make sure that aluminum is even lower emissions, an easy start is to contract for renewable energy and storage.
Shipping Emissions Halve With Fossil Fuel Collapse
With the reduction in coal mines and gas fields, will shipping emissions fall? Explore how much shipping there is, and what the phase out of fossil fuels will do to shipping.

Coal Plants Are Increasing Globally is False Information
Coal plants are decreasing globally but that does not stop the false information that coal plants are increasing. The number of retirements is greater than new plants. For a full detailed analysis check out Global Energy Monitor.

Mines To Reduce 80 Percent
A major global disruption will be the exit of coal from thermal electricity generations. Much coal is consumed within the country, but the 6 major exporters of coal will be impacted the most. New mines will not replace the loss of existing coal mines.
EU Bans ICE Vehicles by 2035
The EU commission has voted to ban sales of all internal Combustion engines in cars buses trucks motorcycles by 2035 to achieve the carbon emissions reduction by 55% by 2030 from 1990 levels.
Memes for Climate Deniers and Delayers
An image can say a thousand words – and facts and figures won’t sway a climate denier or climate delayer. But humour may do. Lets see
5 Signs of Climate Deniers
The 5 signs of climate deniers or climagte delayers. The arguments may appear reasonable but they are generally anonymous, selective, persistent diversionary and irrational. Spot them easily.
