According to the study the US military emitted 23million t of CO2e and the world 54.49 billion t of CO2e. That means it is 0.05% of global emissions. Per soldier it is something like 17t. There are a lot of small countries in the world, so it sounds worse then it really is.
To put it another way, they did not forget. The US military just does not matter enough in the grande scheme of things.
EDIT: Saudi Aramco release nearly three times of this in scope1 and 2 emissions alone.
It is called density. Bologna is five km wide and something like 13km long, although there is a motorway running along a site of the city. So you can be in any part of the city within less then half an hour by car. Bologna has a huge old town, which is not designed for cars at all and you are probably faster with a scooter.
Welcome to decent city planning.
Yes, but a lot of it goes to the EU and they lost Russias supply. Similar story with oil. There are massive OPEC+ cuts and the US fills the void.
The lower coal lead to 2.5% drop in US CO2 emissions since 1990. At that rate the US is at zero emissions in only 1200years. That is not what meaningful change looks like.
So the current US situation is, that the most powerful men in the country is either the guy, who turned the US into the biggest oil producer in the world or a guy who promises to go even faster and further in terms of emissions. Seems like the leaders of the free world, plan to kill us all.
Also only 51% of Ethipians have access to electricity. That is access for at least four hours a day and enough to charge a phone, have some light and other light tasks. Charging an EV is another league entirly.
So this might backfire badly. At the same time it makes oil infrastructure obsolete and China is selling extremely cheap EVs these days. The BYD Seagull at $11,000 is rather competitive for a new car and something like a Guang Hong Mini for $4500 is also available. Obviously that is not used cars territory, but we are going to see second hand cars of these cars as well and they will be even cheaper.
IEA recommondation is a ban of sales of oil and gas boilers starting next year.
BP and Shell both have their headquarter in London. Shell just moved it their after Brexit. That creates a lot of oportunities for politicans willing to help out a bit.
That is certainly a good way to keep Fano from acquiring tacticals.
Great news nevertheless.
Not at all. The problem is the offset part of many of those systems. The better way of doing it is to force companies do buy credits when they emit and those credits are supplied by the government and limited in number. Every year you decrease the number of credits and the cheapest technology to replace is replaced. That works pretty well in the EU.
But governments passed the bills against sensible business practices, by preventing lending money to fossil fuel companies, which are obviously in significant danger due to additional government regulation in other areas. Bloody Communists! Sorry Republicans.
The biggest problem is that this is global, so we are going to see large international banks also dropping similar language, due to the US market being massive and it being hard not to get sued over this.
Here we go. Chinas economy is slowing down and it is finally happening. That hopefully means we have had peak emissions globally.
