WELCOME TO THE 21ST CENTURY.


The Kyoto Protocol was an international treaty, which extended the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) that commited State Parties to reduce greenhouse gases emissions, based on the premise that (a) global warming exists and (b) man-made CO2 emissions have caused it. The Kyoto Protocol was adopted in Kyoto, Japan, on 11 December 1997 but the United States refused to abide by this treaty. What is important to note is during the last 40 years there was not one year when the CO2 emissions were not higher than the previous year apart 2014 which CO2 emissions stagnated at the level of 2013. The IPCC latest report warned us that if we do not bring our CO2 emissions level back to 50% of what they were in the year 1990 and this by 2020, we'll not be able to keep temperatures within the 2° degees. Yet, the "sovereign" nations continue refusing to fulfill this scientific requirement. In clear our nations are just totally crazy and criminal. And then they make a huge story about FIFA corruption. Humankind is going right into the furnace because Oil industries want to fill their pockets but oh la la these guys only see FIFA corruption ! When you are dirty to the brim but still want to appear clean you take a scapegoat and put the blame on him as to make a diversion. It could be anyone: Putin, Sarkozy, Blatter, whoever ...
Enough with the way we divide the world into nations that fight each other in a toxic and destructive quest for power. Global Warming is a real threat and it doesn't know our frontiers. While we are busy fighting each other, like a bunch of coyotes clashing for a rotting carcass, and while we engulf extreme wealth and power in this madness, our world is inexorably drifting towards the burning gallows of unbearable heatwaves. Let's realize that we'll win together or lose together, our destiny facing Global Warming is now totally one and indivisible. Welcome to the 21st century.
Citizen of the world wake up from the deads ..

A MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD

The IPCC warned us in its latest report, that we should bring back our CO2 emissions to 50% of what they were in the year 1990 and this before 2020, if we want to keep our planet within the 2° degrees. And the IPCC bases this prevision on the most optimistic scenario. Indeed, during the last decades, the scientists forcasts about Global Warming have been constantly revised upwards. The cascading effet is pretty uncertain and, for instance, we don't know the exact impact of CH4 emissions through the warming of the oceans and the melting of the permafrost. Lima Conference on Climate ends with ridiculous and criminal decisions about CO2 reduction: Reducing CO2 emissions from 40% by 2050 is just nonsense. You can no more haggle over with Global Warming that, for instance, you can haggle over with a fire that transforms your house in a furnace. You cannot say to the blaze: "stop, wait 20 minutes until the firemen arrive". The United States found $ 3000 billion just for I

What can you do to save the planet Earth?

What can you do to save the planet Earth? You might have had this question popping up in your mind – “What can I do alone to save the environment?” Actually, there are thousands of people like you who have the similar thought in mind, amidst that dilemma and hesitation, no one’s taking a step. But you, alone, have the power to initiate, and those thousands will eventually follow you. No step is a small step, and every contribution matters in its own way. While caring for the planet isn’t a matter to be saved for June 5, however, it’s a good time to start today and take the pledge to do whatever you can, in order to achieve a sustainable environmental development. Organize a cleaning drive: That’s something you can easily do! You have organized parties before, this time, organize a cleaning drive. Call your friends, friends of friends, office colleagues, acquaintances and family members to be a part of this act. Gather in your neighbourhood or a popular market area and clea

DIRECTLY CAPTURING CO2 FROM THE ATMOSPHERE

Image
Direct air capture is the process of chemically scrubbing carbon dioxide directly from the ambient air, and then storing it either underground or in long-lived products. This new technology is similar to the carbon capture and storage technology used to capture emissions from sources like power plants and industrial facilities. The difference is that direct air capture removes excess carbon directly from the atmosphere, instead of capturing it at the source.  It is relatively straightforward to measure and account for the climate benefits of direct air capture, and its potential scale of deployment is enormous. But the technology remains costly and energy-intensive. It is often difficult to pin down costs for new direct air capture technologies, but a 2018 study estimates that it would cost about $94-$232 per metric ton. Earlier estimates were higher.  Direct air capture also requires substantial heat and power inputs: scrubbing 1 gigaton of carbon dioxide from the air could require ne
