This is another ‘ozone layer’ moment. Now, we must urgently target methane

The oil and gas industry must be legally bound to cut methane emissions. With climate tipping points approaching, time is running out, says the prime minister of Barbados, Mia Mottley

Of the seven Earth-sized worlds orbiting the red dwarf #star TRAPPIST-1, one #planet in particular has attracted the attention of scientists, because it orbits the star within the distance where water on its surface is theoretically possible – but only if the planet has an #atmosphere.

The basic thesis for TRAPPIST-1e is this: If it has an atmosphere, it’s #habitable.

Now, based on an examination of four of the planet's transits with transmission spectroscopy, astronomers have identified weak fingerprints of #methane.

But this does not necessarily imply the planet has an atmosphere and is habitable because it is not certain whether the methane is attributable to molecules in the atmosphere of the planet or in the host #star.

Or perhaps the tentative detection is not true at all.

Biogas Production For Surprisingly Little Effort

Probably most people know that when organic matter such as kitchen waste rots, it can produce flammable methane. As a source of free energy it’s attractive, but making a biogas plant sounds d…

New Zealand awarded dubious 'Fossil of the Day' at COP30 climate talks

The government's decision to weaken methane emissions targets have garnered it the award for a fourth time, after avoiding it last year.

3. "Can (cutting) #methane cuts pull us back from the brink of climate breakdown?"

It probably could, but since the world is insisting both on expanding protein-heavy, meat-based diets, AND wants to build a global fossil gas-system, it definitely won't.

"The adoption of a 'no additional warming' target, rather than pursuing more ambitious reductions, was "an embarrassing and humiliating capture by industry", he said."

'Embarrassing’: International climate expert at COP30 scorns NZ’s methane target

A veteran climate scientist says it's "unbelievable" that New Zealand has gone to the annual climate summit with a weaker target as global temperatures continue to rise.

🚨​​​ New report: Big Meat and Dairy are roasting the planet 🥩​🌡️

A new investigation by Greenpeace Nordic, Foodrise, Friends of the Earth US and the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy exposes the colossal climate footprint of the world’s meat and dairy giants.

Their emissions now rival Big Oil.

No Factory Farming Action in Rome, Italy. Greenpeace activists dressed in white hazmat suits and animal masks stand inside a large metal cage outside the FAO to protest intensive farming. They hold a yellow Greenpeace banner reading “Big Meat and Dairy are cooking the planet.” The action took place during the World Conference on Livestock, where Greenpeace and over 90 organisations launched an appeal for a just transition in the food sector.

A springtail among a galaxy of neon green gas bubbles in moorlands in Platzertal, Tyrol. #Austria has lost 90% of its peat bogs, and only 10% of those that remain are in good condition. Platzertal is one of the last intact high moorlands in the Austrian Alps, and an area renowned for its carbon-storing peat bogs.

National's watering down of methane limits has rightly attracted international condemnation for its ignorance and its complete disregard of climate change.

Naturally farmers are ecstatic that their right to pollute for another 25 years has been preserved. Sure, the climate is getting wilder and that might lead to an extinction event, one day. But short-term profits are more important. Right?

Wrong.

Today's ODT editorial describes National's dirty moves as "a loss for sensible policy making." On a positive note, they suggest this bad legislation is unlikely to survive a change of government.
