This investment will enable us to begin transitioning our fleet from burning fossil fuels to using renewable resources to reduce our carbon footprint, which will benefit both our company and our community.” It also helps lower the level of carbon dioxide, one of the greenhouse gases heating up the climate, in the air.

According to the United Nations Environment Programme. , “30-40% of all primary energy is used in buildings” contributing greatly to fossil fuel use and climate change, especially in the US, where 82 percent of people live in cities. Notably, global urbanization. Cutting these figures in half. Through green-roofs. ,

At least one fossil fuel-friendly Democrat stoked the fire, too. Like nitrogen dioxide, methane combines with other pollutants to form ground-level ozone—more commonly known as smog—and it is a significantly more potent global warming pollutant than carbon dioxide.

5] Additionally, the reaction of these volatile chemicals contributes to ground-level ozone production, which, unlike ozone in the stratosphere, is hazardous to human health. VCP sources (outlined in black) contribute 63% of the SOA formation potential, which exceeds the contributions from fossil fuel sources.

To reach these targets, a massive energy transition from dirty conventional marine fuels to zero-emission energy (like wind-assisted propulsion) and fuels is imperative. There is no time to waste on false climate solutions like Liquified Natural Gas (LNG)—a fossil fuel with serious global warming and public health implications.

Attorneys general (AGs) in the five states most vulnerable to climate change, however, are doing the exact opposite: Instead of defending their constituents, they are defending the fossil fuel industry. Moody also jumped in head-first to protect the fossil fuel industry.
