This is mainstream media and I cannot help but wonder what the angle really is because I don't see any turbocharging going on with regards to clean energy and climate change. Is this meant to gaslight us into believing this is in the works while BP Shell, Exxon, et al continue to push fossil fuels? Given the lobby size of Big Oil I am left wondering. When billions of dollars are at stake, any capitalist industry throws money to lobbyists and lobby groups in serious and concerted efforts to preserve the status quo. That much said, I hope I am really fucking wrong because our planet is reacting violently to what we are doing to it.
Agreed. Until we see evidence of global cooling, I can’t imagine it’s being turbocharged.
I was under the impression that once carbon passed about 400ppm in atmosphere then climate change was irreversible. Which it reached a few years ago. It's a greenhouse gas so it lowers the rate at which heat escapes. We would have to start actively capturing carbon for global cooling to occur. Not just turbocharge clean energy. We could use 100% solar today and the planet would still get warmer
