Few people realize that Germany has actually increased its fossil fuel combustion capacity over the 20 years of its landmark renewable energy program from 2001 to the present. We can see the same impact of variable energies in Germany. It did so precisely in order to protect against the kinds of disasters that befell Texas and California.

Last year, my UCS colleagues working on climate science and corporate accountability found, in a peer-reviewed study , that 37% of the area burned in western North America since 1986 is attributable to the carbon emissions of just 88 fossil fuel companies and cement manufacturers. That 37% equates to 19.8

Black carbon’s lifetime is on the order of days to a couple weeks, which is about 0.004% of the lifetime of other pollutants like CO 2 (which has a lifetime of 300 – 1000 years). This means that if we focus on limiting black carbon emissions, we will see very fast improvements in our atmosphere and health. link] Evans, M.,

39] If everyone followed a vegan diet, which excludes not only meat but also eggs and dairy products, land-based emissions could be cut by 70 percent by 2050, said IPCC. [40] 43] Another study found that if every American reduced her or his meat consumption by one-quarter, greenhouse emissions would be reduced by just 1 percent.
