And of course, no mention of
#shale #hydrofracturing, methane carbon #isotope12, or the fact that methane, horizontal drilling and temperature spikes are all *directly* correlated?

So - no more climate sensitivity, no more tipping points, no more '10°C in the pipeline'?

Sounds like a carte blanche to continue fossil energy investment..

We are headed for disaster - plain and simple

#NGFS www.bnnbloomberg.ca/business/202...

Denying that tipping points exist leads to the concept of 'when emissions stop, temperature increase stops' and so leads to government complacency - and continued fossil energy investment

3°C is 30% GDP losses and this is not good; especially as it may occur by 2050 at current rates

However, Mr Jenkins remains a hardcore #shale promoter, and consistently tries to block #hydrogen - the only energy carrier that could replace it; despite $500 billion in US climate damages in 2024 that are arguably directly attributable subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...

So, stick with #shale huh?

Oh look: the anti-hydrogen brigade are blocking the $280 billion in subsidies (EU+US collectively) from getting signed off & disbursed to stakeholders; because of the 'three pillars/delegated acts' chicanery which is now even disavowed by the IEA

e) can be used in every sector, mostly without much retrofitting (like plasma reactors etc for high temperature use or batteries that heat your house)
f) can be produced in different ways from a vast array of feedstocks including electricity, biomass, nuclear, fossil fuels etc

Why be so against the only energy source which
a) can be produced from water with no emissions
b) does not require rare earth materials
c) is universally expected to achieve a cost price the same as coal within 5-10 years, and LNG soon after
d) can be stored in infinite volume for seasonal demand

Sorry - this is not true.

Nope.

LNG is about €1.50/kg-eq

If you are worried about cost/subsidisation/timescales (as some seem to be; despite gas bills being probably something of a non-issue to them personally); then why not think about fossil fuel subsidies which are €56-110bn per year - or climate change which will cost 30% of GDP at 3°C of warming..

..and that 3°C could occur by mid-century (!) according to Swiss Re (they kind of need to be accurate in the insurance market)

Serious stuff!

NGFS: 30% GDP loss at 3°C guaranteed..

Not sure if batteries and biofuels alone are going to safely ensure this outcome won't be achieved

And if you are worried about subsidies (as Michael Liebreich so obviously is) then why not think about the €56-110bn in subsidies that go to fossil fuels in the EU each year; of which 67% goes directly to shareholders

Then, factor in the 30% GDP loss that the NGFS now say is guaranteed at 3°C..

Batteries and biofuels won't replace the global fossil fuel economy

It is irrefutable that the long-term cost of #hydrogen cannot be reduced dramatically; which means Michael Liebreich has a very definite agenda..
