Greenhouse gas emissions from oil and gas facilities around the world are about three times higher than their producers claim, new data has shown. #climate #emissions #globalheating #COP27 https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/nov/09/oil-and-gas-greenhouse-emissions-three-times-higher-than-producers-claim
I was today's years old when I discovered https://climatetrace.org/ maps on #CO2 #emissions of all sources
(#oil, #gas, #agriculture, #manufacturing #mineral #extraction #transport)
👆 👆 👆
Includes great feature to rank to most polluting company.
👋 Hello #Permian Tx #oil #field ranking 1 of all sectors!
👋 Hello #Jianghsu Shagang groups #steel plant in just manufacturing!

@AnneENConnor I just passed this onto my local community group. Thanks 👍
This article lists some #studies on leaf blower #emissions. A #leafblower emits 300 x the emissions of a pickup truck; using a leaf blower for 1 hour = driving the average car for 100 miles. This is low-hanging fruit if you want to reduce your #carbonfootprint. Plus, leaves are good for the ecosystem.

Getting closer to (finally!) pricing #CO2 #emissions from #shipping 🚢! A sector neglected for too long, responsible for 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

Have been looking into #CO2 #emissions from server uses, streaming, social media etc. Seems that we are better off with local storage options instead of cloud, and CDs instead of #netflix.
Even if the server is running off pure renewables, the rest of the network isn't.
I'd be interested in any papers that look at this and the solutions such as #green coding, without being too heavy on the netspeak 😃
@Sustainable2050 thankyou
A system that doesn't address the needs for climate justice and securing human rights is a system that has failed everyone – we need to keep both in mind.
Human rights and climate movements are stronger when we stand in solidarity together. Then we can also successfully push those in power to live up to significantly increased adaptation finance and immediately, drastically reduced greenhouse gas emissions. There is no climate justice without social justice and human rights.

@Sustainable2050 Hi Kees, I'm in Australia, how do you see the energy crisis in Europe develop?
I've read some articles saying that there's a turn towards renewables, and others saying that there's a fall back on coal.
Policy makers always tend to look for easy solutions, it would be a shame not to see this as an opportunity to do better
To supplement my last toot of 800,000 years of CO2 data, here's a graph of the past 2000 years for CO2, methane, and nitrous oxide (all greenhouse gases, measured in parts per million) again showing the effect of human activities driving up the concentrations. These are the gases driving #climate change.
@hols hi, I'm new too. Nature rocks.
Hello, New here.
I have a history in renewable energy, and am currently working through a bachelor of science in Sustainability.
I acknowledge the Noongar people of Wadjuk country on which I live and pay my respects to their elders past and present.
I've never made a tweet, but thought I would try a toot.
#introduction I am an analytical atmospheric chemist, I studied aging of PAHs in PM, as well as environmentally persistent free radicals (EPFR) in combustion particles for my PhD. Currently a post doc at the University of Colorado, Boulder where I am developing a method for measuring surfactant concentrations in indoor air. Passionate about air quality, indoor and out. Love hiking and live music. Mom to two humans and two cats. she/her #chemiverse #chemtwitter #IAQ #womeninstem
I love all science and believe in fairness and justice for all peoples.
