@gthomaskerr @algore I think you need to study geology or consult a geologist to get the facts. Regardless of its origins, it is creating a mess for us. Burning (of most anything) needs to diminish. Efficiencies need to increase.

@algore To Al's point, we have to address this issue constructively, i.e., for the greater Good.

[Al Gore @algore]

The chances for real progress at COP28 were badly damaged early this year when an oil company CEO was appointed to lead the negotiations. And now investigative journalists have confirmed some of the worst fears of those who criticized that absurd appointment with the shocking news that the President-designate has been using the meetings he has set up with nations around the world to sell more oil and gas. At the same time, the fossil fuel company he leads (the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company) has been preparing to launch one of the largest expansions of oil and gas production of any company in the world — timed to begin immediately after COP28 concludes.

Using international climate talks as leverage to shore up support for pumping more oil and gas at a time when we urgently need to phase out fossil fuels is — to say the least — utterly appalling.

Crazy. People deserve full transparency on what's going on here--or the joke is on them.

Direct Air Capture is "a gimmick..It will only delay our solution to climate problem"

"Requires a lot of electricity..Even where RE is used, that RE is then prevented from replacing fossil electricity"

The Court delegitimized itself when it became more beholden to corrupt right wing groups than to the Constitution.

Democrats are trying to fix a mess Republicans created.
