plan to meet it's climate goals by increasing LNG production
Smith & co. are truly Orwellian - rereading that quote it's remarkably on-point.
Shouldn't burn the SUV, causes pollution ;)
As an interviewee in the article says, "unabated" is a weasel word.
Despite his creds, Guilbeault has shown disappointingly little backbone.
I hate the word "soon".
We've been saying "soon" for decades. Just rip the bandaid off & fscking do it!
Incrementalism will literally be the death of us - by wild fire or drowning.
Think of Team Lemmy behind you! 👍
Good catch. Not sure if PEG can be made from renewable sources. Maybe this technology could provide a feedstock.
Depending on increased Arctic and Antarctic glacial instability the rates could well accelerate even more.
James Hansen & colleagues at Columbia have published very detailed analysis based on partial analogy with the Palaeocene-Eocene thermal maximum (very roughly same CO2 levels as today) suggesting that short term (say 100yr) rise could be quite a few feet, and long term (say 1000yr) rise could be over 200 feet.
Try drawing say 10 and 200 ft elevation contours on the eastern seaboard and Gulf!
I agree. My first reaction when it broke about them blocking news was 'I don't see them or use them as a news aggregator anyway, so who cares'; let them take their click bait promotion and dwell time algorithms elsewhere.

Exasperating.
Stephen Markley's The Deluge has some interesting dialog amongst the protagonists debating ways to go about this (set in the 2030's when things get really dire, but ~nothing has changed).
