If Positive Energy ads drive you crazy, here’s Graph by IPCC, showing Australia emissions increasing(not 20% reduction from shonky deforestation never proposed)
“Climate activists are sometimes depicted as dangerous radicals. But, the truly dangerous radicals are the countries that are increasing the production of fossil fuels,” Guterres said. “Investing in new fossil fuels infrastructure is moral and economic madness. Such investments will soon be stranded assets — a blot on the landscape and a blight on investment portfolios.”

do we trust blind faith in COALition that export hydrogen is real? Embedded in our manufacture of green product iron and aluminium maybe. But, especially based on offshore wind, most countries have their own, so power directly, hydrogen nowhere near as certain as claimed.
As part of a broader push on part of the aviation industry to reduce its carbon footprint, Airbus has conducted the first ever flight of its giant A380 jumbo jet using 100 percent biofuel, made up of primarily cooking oil.

Fuelling one of the 4 engines or all? How is this be “sustainable”? Will everybody stop cooking? How much edible crop land will be pressganged into this delusion? And, about hydrogen, as liquid, any failure will make Hindenburg look like kiddie’s birthday cake.

“outsolation”. “You can design out the pipes by putting a sort of tea cosy around houses, like the Dutch Energiesprong exterior retrofit. They can superinsulate your house to net zero standard in a single day whilst you’re at work, and meanwhile they’ve dropped in a very efficient heat pump core for mechanicals, and put on a super-insulated solar roof. And when you get back, you pay them rather than your energy companies.”
