Methane's consequences are approximately 140x as strong as CO2, at the 11.8-year average-lifespan for the stuff.

So, about 6ppm of methane is equivalent to about 1000ppm of CO2.

This is the most head-in-the-sand anti-trategy possible.

That scientist who published that methane has to be ceased, that leakage of the stuff is simply too destructive, he was right.

Which, of course, is why he got attacked from all sides..

of course.

    I’m glad that they do occasionally steer the ship in a responsible direction. Not sure huge amounts of money are really needed for this, but what do I know? I’m not a dentist.

    Can’t have forest fires without a forest. Honestly, the hillsides in Oregon look shitty enough as it is, but I guess it’s not shitty enough for everyone. Gotta make sure everything we touch is 110% fucked.

    People let the government and media tell them that the ELF were terrorists, now look where we are.

    Why would they invest in guaranteed-future-overcapacity ( thereby eradicating their-own profit-margin ),

    for sake of mitigating an ultra-high-profit-margin present??

    Their intentions are not aligned with the intentions of their customers, & they've got the leverage, so .. Natural Selection on whomever doesn't survive, same as always.

    ( obviously, if you want any industry to be more aligned with their customers, then you have to have a not-for-profit competitor, or 3, in that industry, to keep the industry, itself honest.

    Won't be tolerated by any incumbents, of any industry, obviously: maximal-supremacism is the only paradigm that for-profit / concentration-of-wealth-archy / oligarchy allows.

    Feudalism's "important"! )

    I don't understand how this would do anything other than increase risks for national defense. AFAIK, the issue isn't suddenly because of the amount of vessels we have. That hasn't changed much, if at all, in the past 2 weeks.

    Or is it that the amount of stuff that needs to be transported has dramatically increased? I don't have access to the full article.
