Things WE can do to reduce CO2 emissions

[Crick]

The ratio of energy produced to fuel used as well as the ratio of energy produced to greenhouse gases created are both nearly infinite.

Yep....tough shit in you, I guess! You are far too naive to be able to connect the dots on how dominant fossil fuels will continue to be. Environmental k00ks will be thrown a bone from time to time to keep them thinking they might win.....the big boys know how to keep the nutters at bay. Renewables will continue to be a joke....like they've been for 20 years now s0n!

 

[Crick]

Global energy needs are growing with the world's population and with technological improvements in the third world. Far more of that growth is being accommodated with renewables than with fossil fuel sources.

There has been a fair bit of discussion over the last decade or so about decentralizing power generation. Using solar and wind and a Tesla PowerWall or its like, it may well be possible to provide all or almost all the power your home needs all by yourself. If you'd like to build a miniature coal-fired power plant in your backyard, you can probably do that as well. Or not.

The US' 40 million ton reduction would be a 0.778% decrease. Denmark, Ukraine, Hungary, Ireland and France, have reduced their greenhouse gas emissions. Of these countries, most have reduced their emissions by more than 10 percent. Denmark, for example, has reduced its CO2 emissions by more than 30 percent

The US is FAR from the top of the list by percentage. This graph is deceptive

What percentage of our atmosphere is made up of CO2?

WOW DENMARK...Population 5.7 million The STATE of Wisconsin...5.8 million.

The ratio of energy used is directly correlated with improved standards of living for human beings. That's why really chaps your ass.

If you think either of your comments have any relevance, you're going to have to explain them to us. Because it appears as if you don't understand the meaning of "PER CENT"

Nope, no problem with percentages. Please share with us the PERCENT of our atmosphere which is CO2. Very simple, it is everyone on the internet. Come on son, go for it! No guts no glory!

 

[Crick]

Grow up. If you want to make a point that involves the percentage of the atmosphere composed of CO2 (currently 406 ppm) just make it and stop being a twittering dick.

Define "far more" please. We want fakery operationally defined around here s0ns!

"Growth" is another fake term that consistently fools the modern progressive too st00pid to ask, "As compared to what?". It is the question that, when asked, train wrecks the argument of any progressive.

Do I need to do the boob job analogy again.....you know...the chick who gets the 100% increase in bust size....only progressives automatically believe she is now big titted!

EIA Report Says Coal Still King on State-by-State Basis

Renewables to grow fast, but fossil fuels to rule till 2040, EIA projects

Your "Net Capacity Additions" chart says otherwise.

What are the major sources of CO2 on the planet and what can we do, actively, passively or by simple choices to reduce those emissions and make it easier for our governments, at all levels, to reduce others.

First: sources and sinks: (Sources of Greenhouse Gas Emissions | US EPA and Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks | US EPA

1) Transportation. 28.5% of US emissions comes from fossil fuels powering our planes, trains and automobiles and ships and motorcycles and trucks and everything else with an ICE that rolls.

2) Electricity Production. 28.4% of 2016 US emissions came from our power plants. Approximately 68% of our electrical energy is generated by coal, natural gas and other fossil fuels

3) Industry. Approximately 22% of our greenhouse gas emissions come from industrial processes. The largest portion is the burning of fossil fuels for energy (the heat required for smelting iron, for instance), the next from processes that produce GHGs as a side product (eg, the manufacture of cement releases large quantities of CO2)

4) Commercial and residental. 11% of GHG emissions come primarily from fossil fuels burned to proiduce heat and handle waste

5) Agriculture> Roughly 9% of GHGs from from livestock [insert snickers for <12 crowd and Skookerasbil] soil decomposition and rice paddies

6) Land use and forestry. In the US in 2016, managed forests and other lands have absorbed more CO2 than they have produced offsetting 11% of our emissions.

So what can we do, not do, and decide, that will help reduce our CO2 emissions from these sources?

Here are the real things you can do to curb emissions.

1. Kill yourself

2. Kill other people

3. Doing #1 first will significantly shorten the list and responsibility.

4. Kill all animal life

5. Stop passing gas. Seriously. Just hold it in.

6. Pay more in carbon taxes. For every dollar that is spent trying to fight carbon emissions via taxation, a Progressive angel gets their wings.

Fake

Not at all impressive if put on a different graph. I could make my gorgan look like a museum piece if I put it on the right graph.

Heres all you need to know....2 decades from now, wind and solar combined will provide the planet with well less than 10% of all electricity! But dont take my word for it.....check out the Obama EIA projection graph from last year!! >>

Take our concerns about the climate into the ballot box. Vote for candidates who show a similar concern and ambition to reduce CO2 emissions. The problems we face are dire and immediate. They require immediate, committed and bold action. Don't settle for lip service.

we don't take them into the ballot box today? really?
