The oil crisis fuelled by Russia’s war is evaporating – and so are the profits Results from Shell and Exxon this week will be weaker – and Trump’s desire to drill may result in oversupply

Sure, drill more oil ... exactly what the oil companies don't want. Have to love it for the stupidity at least! #EndFossil Now! www.theguardian.com/business/202...

5 Responses to Climate Change Deniers | Robert Reich
5 Responses to Climate Change Deniers | Robert Reich Robert Reich provides arguments to combat climate change skeptics and deniers.

Longer dry seasons and more intense wildfires are a direct consequence of climate change.

We must stop putting fossil fuel industry profits over the safety and security of our people.

New climate chemistry model finds “non-negligible” impacts of potential hydrogen fuel leakage MIT study confirms the climate impacts of hydrogen, recommends leak prevention be a priority as infrastructure for handling this clean-burning fuel is built.

Danger of Hydrogen as a fuel: "any hydrogen leaked to the atmosphere would reduce the amount of OH available to clean up methane, so the concentration of methane would increase" ... and thus Climate Change gets worse. And one cannot stop all H2 leaks. climate.mit.edu/posts/new-cl...

The six biggest banks in the U.S. have quit the Net Zero Banking Alliance just before Trump's inauguration.

The alliance was formed with the goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions.

Let this serve as another reminder that so-called “corporate social responsibility” is a sham.

It's been a long time since I've posted an update to North Atlantic sea surface temperatures. It's remarkable how quickly "uncharted territory" gets normalized after the y-axis is extended.

Here is my version of Mauna Loa CO2 growth vs. NOAA's graphic of Mauna Loa CO2 growth, side-by-side.

The difference is that NOAA updates theirs once a year based on the 4-month average CO2 centered on January 1st, and I update mine monthly, based on the running 12-month average for CO2.
