After reading some information at Friends of Science, I got to thinking about how impossible it will be for us to do what so many people are demanding that we do. This is to go to zero CO2 emissions by 2050 by getting off of fossil fuels.

The community of North Stormont, Ont. has repeatedly asserted its unwillingness to host the Nation Rise Wind Farm, despite the previous Liberal government’s attempts.

More often than not, Norway finds itself at, or near, the top of all the good lists — perhaps most notably as number 1 on the United Nations Human Development Index.
It has now secured its place at the top of another list: the 21st century race to make zero-emission vehicles (ZEV) the norm.

Highlighting global campaigners’ demands for urgent and bold climate action, the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service announced Friday that despite coronavirus-related lockdowns, 2020 tied with 2016 for being the warmest year on record and closed out the warmest decade on the books.

A sustainable agriculture company has manufactured a device they say will help curb global warming by neutralizing methane exhaled by cows.
Zelp, a company based in London, says that its device can help contribute to a “strong reduction in the global warming potential of methane.”
The mask, which is strapped to the snouts of cows, “neutralises methane exhaled in real time,” the company claims.

De-population guru, Bill Gates, among others, is backing the Harvard Stratospheric Controlled Perturbation Experiment to engineer the sun’s rays. The SCoPEx, Stratospheric Controlled Perturbation Experiment, is researching a form of “geoengineering” to prevent global warming. They want to spray tiny particles into the air to reflect sunlight and make the earth cooler. Then they’ll fly balloons 12 miles above Sweden to gather data.

Melting of ice in central Greenland is being accelerated by the heat of molten rocks rising from the core–mantle boundary, adding to sea-level rise, a study has found.
Researchers from Japan mapped out the extent and branches of the so-called ‘Greenland plume’ — the rising flow of molten rock ascending beneath the island.

Federal scientists are predicting a hot, dry and fiery future for the Prairies.
“In a warming climate, you can expect extreme weather events to occur with increased severity,” said Dave Sauchyn, a professor at the University of Regina and a lead author in an extensive report released Monday by Natural Resources Canada.

That’s according to a new report published on Wednesday titled the Lancet Countdown, which found climate change will increasingly impact the health of humans around the world and threaten to overwhelm healthcare systems unless action is taken to mitigate global warming.

Britain’s Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, called the novel coronavirus, which plunged most of the world into a pandemic and, ultimately, economic downturn, a sign of Mother Nature exerting her considerable power over humanity, potentially over our reluctance to address climate change.

Some world leaders, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau apparently among them, think that the COVID-19 crisis offers an “opportunity” to “re-imagine” or “reshape” national economies, and tie them to broad international schemes. High in the list of such schemes is, in their words, “ending the carbon economy.” In other words, killing off oil and gas.
In a weak moment, I have allowed myself to imagine how Trudeau could earn, if not the right, then at least the acceptance of the Canadian public, for his grand international visions. The speech that follows is entirely imaginary, which at least places it in the same realm as some of the schemes we have been hearing about.
