When it comes to climate change, methane is a notorious super-polluter.
And LNG, which stands for liquefied "natural gas", is primarily made up of...you guessed it...methane. 😷

Can methane cuts pull us back from the brink of climate breakdown?
With temperatures breaching the Paris limit, experts say tackling the powerful gas could buy crucial time as the clean-energy shift stalls

Fossil fuels have gone unmentioned in another #COP agreement. A concrete phase out plan is an existential for many nations. Not a road map but a survival map.
That is what is at stake at this conference and what’s possible with a coalition of the willing

Colombia seeks to speed up a “just” fossil fuel phase-out with first global conference

🤥 The myth that gas is a transition fuel is alive and well despite all the evidence to the contrary and a shocking number of people here think phasing out coal means the are on the right side of the fossil fuel phase out even if they are building new LNG and gas infrastructure.

All the VSPs decided that we can't talk about climate any more, and the entire climate establishment pathetically acceded, nonetheless: climate change is still very real! And Trump is going to rack up Holocaust-style numbers with his anti-climate policies.
Trump’s Anti-Green Agenda Could Lead to 1.3 Million More Climate Deaths. The Poorest Countries Will Be Impacted Most.
Most of the people expected to suffer these temperature-related deaths live in poor countries in Africa and South Asia that are least prepared to cope with the increasing heat from climate change.
