The protections for Alaska’s Bristol Bay watershed come in the form of a denial: the EPA is recommending against a permit for disposing dredged material and mine waste in the watershed around the ore deposit. It argues that the mine is a domestic source of minerals needed for batteries and other non-fossil fuel energy.

Both solar PV and wind are now cost competitive with fossil fuels. I am confident that switching from fossil fuels to renewables (and efficiency , as I learned during my Master’s thesis in 2006) can be done relatively fast in wealthy nations (ten to fifteen years) and by mid-century in developing ones.

Controlling the methane emissions, some of it from wasteful accidental release at natural gas wells, is critical for controlling global warming. The deforestation accord is especially encouraging because it has so many side benefits. Will countries agree to make serious new cuts in their carbon emissions from fossil fuel burning?

Reduce methane emissions Methane essentially comes from the decay of vegetation, animals’ digestion and the exploitation of fossil fuels, methane is a greenhouse gas with a massive footprint, 80+ times more potent than carbon dioxide in the first 20 years. Cutting this would help limit global warming by a huge half a degree.
