Can (voluntary) #carboncredits play a role in moves to combat the #clinatecrisis?

Well, not really - just one more scam that is unravelling when it meets reality;

Carbon credits now look more like #greenwashing than a plausible #environmental strategy!

So it was #WorldPhotographyDay2023 yesterday.

We made it out of the dystopian #ClinateCrisis forest fire region(s) of British Columbia and across the border to southern Alberta.

It was a good day for landscapes near Drumheller.

Well, my guess is that if Labour win, then the #fossilfuel firms will double down on their engagement with Labour MPs.... their influence is insidious & not really limited to the #Tories.... they are serious about protecting their interests, whatever the contribution to the #clinatecrisis

Kassel Land unter. Vielleicht aber nur vielleicht, hatten die Klimakleber ja doch recht? 😔

Last week I posted Rowan Atkinson's piece in which he cast doubt on the current viability fo #electriccars & some of you replied with opposing analyses suggesting EVs can & should be more widely used & are already helping battle the #clinatecrisis

Now the Guardian itself has put up an extensive debunking of Atkinson's anti- #electricvehicles arguments, which I am also happy to post - not least as much will be familiar to you from last weeks' comments in the timeline

The #clinatecrisis in #Venice which has seen historic floods followed by historic low tides (due to regional drought).... might the wealthy visitors to Venice now take #climatechange more seriously do you think?

France is having a very dry winter season. It hasn’t rained in weeks. We already had a bad summer with water restrictions last year. This is very scary.

Ahhh yes, the Labour Governments of Australia taking climate change seriously... #AusPol

Keeping it in the ground ? Why are we still exploring exactly ?

#ClimateEmergency my arse! #ClinateCrisis #ClimateChange #ClimateBlahBlahBlah

"Bass Oil responded today, noting “recent media coverage of the deep coal gas potential in the Company’s 100% owned PEL 182 permit that was released to the ASX on 16 November 2022“.

The permit is located in the Cooper Basin of South Australia, where Bass Oil owns a majority interest in eight permits.

Bass Oil explained that oil and gas behemoth Santos Ltd (ASX: STO) was exploring the same deep coal potential in an adjacent permit called Beanbush 3H. "

Well I suppose they call it #NaturalGas but really as we all should know it is #fossilgas . This is #greenwashing in the extreme. #climateactionow #clinatecrisis #StopBurningStuff

So much for 'beyond petroleum', BPs vacuous adverts of the last few years - looks like their #investments in #fossilfuel will be double those in #greenenergy in 2023... am I surprised - of course not - #BigEnergy is a key problem that must be resolved if we are serious about tackling the #clinatecrisis
