These aren't just money wasting scams... They are actually adding more emissions.
"The company is failing to carbon offset the emissions resulting from its operations..."

There’s an new organized effort to deplatform “climate deniers” from social media
I’m one of their targets
So too is The Honest Broker on Subst*ck
A new enemies list😎
The role of information and knowledge in economics is crucial
From Central planning to top-down targets for tech and climate deadlines are based on the assumption that knowledge and information are complete
It can never be
@KevinClimate@IATA Already said above. Climate targets need to be revised in accordance with a accurate and comprehensive scientific debate beyond the narrow scope provided by IPCC (which is to be dissolved?)
Their attempt to combine science and policies failed. Something new needs to come
@KevinClimate@IATA You can falsify the methods, reasoning, that lead to targets. Policy targets related to 2C come from scientific models, nowhere else. Belief that climate models have predictive capacity has been proven false by many scientists. But policies stick to it

@KevinClimate@IATA 1. Is outdated written before Green Deal etc
2. It confirms that so-called mitigation doesn't work even for most advanced post-industrial economies
Perhaps time to look into targets and scientifically falsify them ?
No, not (only) with IPCC
@KevinClimate@IATA Since categories developed-developing changed, developed showed ability to reduce intensity
New developed economies should now do the same and Annexes defined in 1992 shall be amended
This is not known and untested. Methane is completely saturated by water vapor in the atmosphere so has little warming effect. These are untested solutions to problems that don't exist to make corporations rich.
Looking specifically at methane (CH₄) in the red-highlighted band near the infrared spectrum (10µm range), we observe its absorption band in a relatively narrow wavelength region. However, when comparing this with the absorption by water vapor (H₂O) in the cyan-highlighted area, it becomes clear that water vapor absorbs broadly and significantly across much of the infrared spectrum, including wavelengths that overlap methane's absorption range. This means that water vapor is already absorbing the majority of the radiation in these overlapping bands.
Water vapor is vastly more abundant in the atmosphere than methane, with concentrations measured in parts per thousand (ppt) compared to methane's parts per billion (ppb). The dominance of water vapor absorption effectively "saturates" these overlapping wavelengths, leaving methane with only a minimal additional impact on the total radiative transfer. This is why slight increases in methane concentrations due to anthropogenic or natural emissions have a negligible effect on Earth's energy balance compared to the influence of water vapor.
In summary, while methane is a potent greenhouse gas on a per-molecule basis, its contribution is limited by the overwhelming and already saturated absorption capabilities of water vapor in the same regions of the spectrum.
