Just 2% of continent’s gas capacity has planned retirement date despite pledges to decarbonise, study shows
Europe’s “tone-deaf” expansion of fossil gas is accelerating climate breakdown and increasing reliance on hostile regimes, campaigners have warned.
Just four of Europe’s gas-fired power plants have a retirement plan and new projects will increase the continent’s gas generation capacity by 27%, according to analysis from the campaign group Beyond Fossil Fuels.
It argues that the dash for gas contradicts the International Energy Agency’s recommendation that rich countries decarbonise their electricity grids in the next 10 years to stop the planet from heating 1.5C.
Every second of every day, we use more greenhouse gas than ever before.
People trying to guilt you into buying a hybrid are not only assholes, they are delusional assholes.
We’re SO fucked, friends. Go vegan, ride a bike, move north, wait for the end of the world.
Sabotage a pipeline or refinery on your way there, it’s important that we all do our part ;)
Move north? Why would living in Scotland help?
google wet-bulb weather and see what happens when the air is trying to kill you. fun fact – there’s nothing you can do.
