Special session takes on big oil and wins The transition to clean transportation and away from fossil fuels is here. Policies like this will be critical to ensure that the fossil fuels phaseout is equitable and Big Oil doesn’t squeeze every dollar out of California consumers on the way out the door.

In North America, the land carbon sink between 2004 and 2013 offset roughly 39% of fossil fuel emissions , but varied substantially year to year. This does not undercut the conclusions drawn from any given model, but rather increases the urgency with which we must phase out fossil fuels and adapt to coming climate change.

For decades the fossil fuel lobby has masterfully weakened, derailed, and outright blocked government climate policy. The fossil fuel lobby meddles with Canadian politics and inserts itself into international climate change politics and diplomacy. The biggest barrier to climate action in Canada is the oil and gas lobby.

We have direct AMOC measurements only since 2004, a time span too short for this type of study. For the AMOC (and other climate tipping points ), the only action we can take to minimise the risk is to get out of fossil fuels and stop deforestation as fast as possible. They aren’t trying to end fossil fuels.

When I discovered solar photovoltaic in 2004, the global capacity was around 5 GW. Generating heat is critical to keep folks warm without burning fossil fuels. Nighttime electricity will have to be stored or come from other means such as on and offshore wind, biogas and remnants of fossil gas and coal.

Hoekstra represents the centre-right political spectrum and has been under scrutiny as between 2005-6 he worked for the fossil fuel giant, Royal Dutch Shell. The Social Democrat has a long experience in EU politics having served in the European Parliament (EP) between 2004 and 2013.

Since that fateful English class in April 2004, a lot has changed and I have spent thousands of hours reading and writing about climate change. Both solar PV and wind are now cost competitive with fossil fuels. Humankind just had to stop using coal and natural gas and replace them by solar PV. This blog post is my 1,900th here.
