Hydrogen, not Cop26, will get us to net zero

17 November 2021 admin 0

The ‘magic molecule’ can produce both heat and energy, yet the Government has barely invested in this technology. As COP26 has ended, The Telegraph has highlighted a very important factor in getting to net zero. Practically our entire political and media class is convinced the world faces meltdown unless we lower our carbon emissions – reaching “net zero” by 2050. Meanwhile, millions of ordinary people look at this Glasgow gabfest and frown. Yes, there is broad understanding here in the UK we need to wean ourselves off fossil fuels such as coal and oil and pollute less, for the sake of our children and [...]

Emerging markets need $1 trln a year to get to net zero – BlackRock

24 October 2021 admin 0

Rueters report that emerging market economies need $1 trillion a year of public and private finance in order to transition to a low-carbon economy/net zero in the fight against climate change, a report from asset manager BlackRock (BLK.N) said. Quoting that article, this figure is a sharp increase on a United Nations target to mobilise $100 billion a year, BlackRock said in a report, adding emerging markets were "essential" to ensure the world succeeds in limiting global warming. The issue is expected to form a central plank of discussions at the next round of global climate talks, due to start in Glasgow on Oct. [...]

Madagascar on the brink of climate change-induced famine – BBC

10 October 2021 admin 0

Climate change has started to show its effect on our planet. As per a recent article published on BBC, Madagascar is on the brink of experiencing the world's first "climate change famine", says the United Nations. Tens of thousands of people are already suffering "catastrophic" levels of hunger and food insecurity after four years without rain. The drought - the worst in four decades - has devastated isolated farming communities in the south of the country, leaving families to scavenge for insects to survive. "These are famine-like conditions and they're being driven by climate not conflict," said the UN World Food Programme's [...]

Treating beef like coal would make a big dent in greenhouse-gas emissions – The Economist

5 October 2021 admin 0

In an article published in The Economist, it has been empahsised that cattle are a large producer of greenhouse gases. Few dishes whet more palates than a juicy cut of beef. One poll in 2014 found that steak was Americans’ favourite food. Unfortunately, by cooking so many cows, humans are cooking themselves, too. The impact of food on greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions can slip under the radar. In a survey in Britain last year, the share of respondents saying that “producing plants and meat on farms” was a “significant contributor” to climate change was the lowest among ten listed activities. Yet two [...]

26 September 2021 admin 0

The edible insects coming to a supermarket near you. As per a news article on BBC, it has long been suggested that we should start eating insects to help the environment, but for many of us it is not a palatable thought. One Israeli firm is hoping to win over the squeamish by adding different flavourings. Dror Tamir opens a packet of brown, jellied sweets. "Try one," says the boss of food tech firm Hargol. The little gummies are packed with protein, but not from soy or gelatine. They are instead made from an edible, jumping insect - locusts, which are a type [...]
