Methane is responsible for 80% times more for global temperature rise than the other gasses. [In the short run *] And it is much easier to reduce: in spilling by #BigOil ; in less catle by #BigAgro.
* This is only a [much needed] short term solution. We still need to stop CO2 emessions]

Quote by TED:
"May 9, 2025
There's an invisible super-pollutant heating up the planet — but it's surprisingly easy to reduce, if we try. Revealing how methane contributes (way) more in the short term to global warming than carbon dioxide, chemical engineer Daniel Zavala-Araiza highlights the emerging technologies and bold new policies that are part of a worldwide effort to hold oil and gas companies accountable for polluting our skies with this harmful gas. It's an optimistic glimpse into a future where global cooperation and cutting-edge monitoring could rapidly slow climate change.

"Apr 25, 2025
The Fen deposit holds almost 9 million tonnes of rare earth ore, making it the biggest known source in Europe. But to get to it, Rare Earths Norway will have to dig underneath a village of over 2,000 people. Can they do it in time?
We're destroying our environment at an alarming rate. But it doesn't need to be this way. Planet A explores the shift towards an eco-friendly world — and challenges our ideas about what dealing with climate change means. We look at the big and the small: What we can do and how the system needs to change. We'll take a truly global look at how to get us out of this mess."

"Apr 22, 2025
In the face of one of the world’s largest refugee crises, Chad is taking a bold and unexpected approach.
Instead of temporary shelters or short-term aid, the Chadian government is providing land, giving over 1 million refugees the opportunity to grow food, build livelihoods, and contribute to restoring degraded ecosystems.
This initiative isn’t just humanitarian, it’s ecological and economic.
Refugees are using water harvesting techniques to help regenerate drylands, contribute to the Great Green Wall of Africa, and transform barren landscapes into productive farms.
Could this be a new model for global refugee response?

How far are you willing to go for water and firewood?
For us, things are instant, we switch the stove on or turn on a tap and it’s available.
But that’s not the case for everyone.
Women in Manar spent nearly 6–8 hours on average, per day, thrice a week collecting water and firewood. They would walk back home with heavy loads on their heads. This is an average of 800 hours annually just collecting firewood. But as the forests started to whither away, the journey became long and tiresome.
But in a small corner of Champawat district of Uttarakhand, a group of women have led a silent revolution.
Watch the latest documentary to witness how the Van Sahelis of Manar Van Panchayat restored 11.6 hectares of degraded forest land. Bringing groundwater and greenery back to their land, saving the forest as well as something invaluable, time."

Power outages related to winter weather are happening twice as often as they did decades ago. It's partly because storms are becoming more intense, but also because of an aging power grid. One solution: Designing homes that can power not only themselves, but their communities."

"Dec 21, 2024
Another country bans sale of new gas and diesel powered vehicles by 2035"
Dear Caretaker, thank you for the replies. You initial answer with what you, can, do in your personal life. It's much like mine; running in much the same wall of not living in my own property. My landlord is willing but also makes a calculation, meaning building new well insulated social housing get the priority. My house to be demolished after/within the next 10 years.
I suppose in capitalizing the 'your' in my question I asked for it.
What I meant to ask is what would be the #Climatesolution in a more grander scale. For a long time I found that the responsibility is shared by consumer and producers; and of course the government. Some [most] consumers need to be pushed in to consuming less and more sustainable. Every producer needs to be compelled to produce only what's necessary and doing this only sustainable.
Government need to do the pushing; not only in do's and donts but also in better and swift regulations. Consumers [and like in the video, former producers] could go to court. Government could impose taxes on CO2.
What do you think ?
Land Back gets some noise, but we often don't hear about the next steps. Joseph Lee takes us on a journey digging into the aftermath and how Land Back can play a part in climate solutions. #LandBack #ClimateSolution
In short:
what would be YOUR #ClimateSolution ?
545 #ClimateSolution #EnergyIndependence
As always: the cost comes before the benefit and you plan ahead for years, but the comfort is immediate.
Energy Independence does not mean off-grid, beside costs there is a more important motive to do it: lower the load off the grid.
Now you may take pen and paper. Lots of figures, calculation besides other information.
But, as stated, the conditions differ very much on the country !

"What I Learned After 1 Year with New Solar Panels" [16:39 min]

"Nov 19, 2024
It’s been a full year since I installed these solar panels and a large home battery on my new house … and I’ve got some news. They say solar power can save you thousands on energy bills, but what actually happened. This past year was a bit of a rollercoaster ride from the challenges of getting them installed to seeing how well they handled powering my all-electric house through heat waves, freezing temperatures, and a couple of small power outages. Spoiler alert: solar isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. Was my net zero house ready for all of it? Was I able to achieve net zero energy? And most important … was it worth it? Let’s just say, I learned some pretty surprising lessons that may be of use to you."

Nature is not just some area to walk around in, and enjoy. Or to pillage for free to fabricate products one doesn't need to [really] survive.
Nature is the BIGGEST FACTORY on earth supplying humans with everything they really need: sweet drinkable water, fresh breathable air; in quantities you can't imagine and everything else.
Both of these 'we' squander until 'we'reach an end and starve.
And with that I mean DIE, dead, extinguished.
