#methane mitigation report

[mariacallous]

Lutyens’ Delhi is one of the most iconic neighborhoods of India’s capital. Home to the country’s parliament, numerous embassies, and a lush, 90-acre Mughal-era park, it’s an architectural paradise, connected by tree-lined streets and roundabouts with mini-gardens. Yet despite being one of the city’s most refined districts, this clean, green neighborhood is home to something sinister. It is a hot spot for a dangerous and overlooked air pollutant: ozone.

India is no stranger to pollution, with many of its cities reporting some of the worst air quality in the world. Every winter, New Delhi gets shrouded in smog for days. But discussions about air pollution and policies to mitigate it mostly focus on particulate matter: PM2.5 and PM10—small particles or droplets that are only a few microns in diameter. However, scientists are increasingly raising the alarm about surface ozone. It’s a secondary pollutant that isn’t released from any source, forming naturally when oxides of nitrogen and volatile organic compounds—such as benzene, which is found in gasoline, or methane—react under high heat and sunlight. This makes ozone a particularly ugly modern threat—a problem that arises where pollution and climate change coincide.

“Even an hour of exposure can give you very poor health outcomes,” says Avikal Somvanshi, a researcher at the Center for Science and Environment in New Delhi. While ozone is beneficial in the high atmosphere, where it absorbs ultraviolet radiation, down on Earth’s surface, concentrations of it can be deadly. Data on its impacts is patchy, but a 2022 study estimates that ozone killed more than 400,000 people worldwide in 2019, up 46 percent since 2000. And according to the State of Global Air Report 2020, it is in India where the number of ozone deaths has increased the most over the past decade.

Ozone wreaks havoc in the respiratory tract. The gas can “inflame and damage airways” and “aggravate lung diseases like asthma,” warns the US Environmental Protection Agency. It does this by affecting the cilia, the microscopic hair-like structures that line the airways to help protect them, explains Karthik Balajee, a clinician and community medicine specialist based in Karaikal, India. After exposure “we are more prone to respiratory infections,” he says, adding that inhaling ozone also affects lung capacity. Studies show that long-term exposure is associated with an increased risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, a lung disease that makes it hard to breathe, and increases the risk of dying from other cardiovascular or respiratory conditions. Even short-term exposure can land you in the emergency room. “One or two days following a peak in ozone, there have been increases in hospital admissions due to respiratory problems,” says Balajee.

Delhi and other major Indian cities see spikes in ozone throughout the year, but particularly during summer heat waves, which have become increasingly common due to climate change. The World Health Organization says that exposure to ozone in the air, across an eight-hour period, shouldn’t exceed 50 parts per billion; India’s air quality standard says this WHO limit shouldn’t be broken on more than eight days a year, and not on two consecutive days. But analysis by Somvanshi and his colleagues has found that ozone has already exceeded limits in Delhi and its surrounding areas on 87 days between March and May this year. And they’ve seen similar results over the past three summers. And while the number of monitoring stations recording a breach of the ozone threshold was fewer this year than in previous years, the duration of the exceedance was higher. “We are not even close to compliance with the standard,” says Somvanshi.

Part of what’s driving this problem is ozone’s complicated relationship with other air pollutants. Ozone formation is a cyclic reaction, meaning that after it’s generated by reactions between air pollutants, ozone gets converted back to oxygen when it reacts again with pollutants in the air, such as oxides of nitrogen. But if those pollutants are not present after ozone has formed, it lingers. That’s why ozone levels shot up during India’s Covid-19 lockdown in the summer of 2020, when traffic screeched to a halt—the air pollutants needed to convert it back to oxygen weren’t being produced. It’s also why ozone is often found in green neighborhoods like Lutyens’ Delhi—because their air is cleaner, reactions that get rid of the ozone don’t take place.

Controlling particulate pollution is relatively simple—you just regulate its sources, such as vehicles and crop burning. Reducing ozone levels is harder. “Our prediction of how ozone might respond to pollutant changes or emission changes is complicated by environmental factors,” says Steve Arnold, professor of atmospheric composition at the University of Leeds. When trying to drive levels down, everything depends on the exact mixture of the different precursor pollutants in the air, he says.

Reducing precursor gasses is one way to reduce ozone formation. But bring them down too much and you won’t have any left to neutralize the ozone that’s already present. This is exactly what has happened in China, says Arnold, where stringent policies have reduced PM2.5 pollution in recent decades but the ozone problem has worsened. “There’s a delicate balance that needs to be made,” says Somvanshi.

At present, particulate matter is India’s focus, and rightly so—it’s a bigger problem. According to Arnold’s research, 900,000 deaths in India each year are linked to PM2.5, with 374,000 linked to ozone. But in the future, we should worry more about ozone, Arnold says. He has modeled how ozone pollution in India might look in the coming years. “If you go to 2050, then the health impacts from particulate matter and the health impacts from ozone pollution become much more similar in magnitude,” he says. One reason is that researchers believe pollution control policies in the future will be more successful in mitigating particulate matter than ozone.

Arnold’s study estimated that by 2050, India could see more than a million premature deaths a year linked to ozone exposure if there is no change in emissions. Even under a strict pollution control policy, premature deaths due to ozone were estimated to be 791,000—more than twice as many as in 2015.

While the gas is a problem in other countries, it is India’s poor air quality and increasingly common heat waves that makes ozone a particularly grave threat there. And for Arnold, how the country will evolve is concerning: India will have both a growing and aging population in the coming decades—meaning more people will be exposed to ozone, and in particular, more who are vulnerable.

And it’s not just human health that is damaged. Ozone also threatens food security by causing plant yields to “reduce drastically,” says Madhoolika Agrawal, a professor in the department of botany at Banaras Hindu University. Ozone enters plants through small pores on their leaves, explains Agrawal, and then kills cells by oxidizing them. Leaves then start yellowing and the plant is unable to photosynthesize. India’s wheat crop is particularly vulnerable. The country is a major producer and aspires to be a top exporter—yet studies show it loses millions of tons of wheat and rice annually to ozone. In fact, a 2021 paper shows that ozone affects the yield and seed quality of all major crops in India. Current policies are “insufficient in reducing crop loss to ozone,” its authors write.

At present, Somvanshi says India is “not doing anything” about ozone, and that the way the country’s Central Pollution Control Board monitors the toxic gas is flawed. The CPCB caps ozone pollution measurement at 200 micrograms per cubic meter—above that, the measurement software just records a blank cell in the data sheet. “We don’t really know exactly how severe the problem gets,” says Somvanshi, comparing the situation to checking someone’s fever using a thermometer that can only go up to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The CPCB also reports ozone levels after averaging values at all the monitoring stations in a city, which Somvanshi calls a “disaster” because ozone is a hyperlocal pollutant. “Within the city, there is a massive variation and if you average it out, it will always be below the standard,” he says. WIRED reached out to the CPCB for comment but did not receive any response.

And while ozone monitoring infrastructure is robust in the capital region—Delhi and its five satellite cities have nearly 60 stations—more than 200 Indian cities don’t monitor ozone at all. The rest only have one or two ozone monitoring stations, which is basically “useless” says Somvanshi, because of the localized nature of the gas.

A quick way to mitigate the problem would be to issue targeted local ozone alerts, he says. In the US, for example, health advisories during periods of high ozone pollution warn residents to not go to refuel their cars when it is sunny outside, because petrol or diesel can evaporate to form volatile organic compounds that can further increase ozone formation. India could do something similar. Somvanshi suggests that factories could also be directed to operate during the evening or nighttime. That way, any nitrogen oxides they release wouldn’t be converted into ozone because there’s no sunlight. To reduce the precursor gasses, Arnold says the government should encourage “policies that can limit motor vehicle emissions in cities.”

As for addressing the threat to food security, Agrawal says farmers could choose crop varieties that are less susceptible to ozone. Some plants show resilience, she says, and by cross-breeding we could get crops that are less affected by it. Another solution could be to plant crops during seasons when ozone levels are low, like during the monsoon, but that’s not possible for all plants.

Above all, Arnold says, the Indian government should “take the time to understand the potential consequences of emission reductions” and learn from what happened in China. Use “modeling to try and predict the response you might get to emission control policies,” he advises. Ozone pollution, he says, cannot be ignored anymore.

It Could Cost $21 Billion to Clean Up California’s Oil Sites, Study Finds

For well over a century, the oil and gas industry has drilled holes across California in search of black gold and a lucrative payday. But with production falling steadily, the time has come to clean up many of the nearly quarter-million wells scattered from downtown Los Angeles to western Kern County and across the state.

The bill for that work, however, will vastly exceed all the industry’s future profits in the state, according to a first-of-its-kind study published Thursday and shared with ProPublica.

“This major issue has sneaked up on us,” said Dwayne Purvis, a Texas-based petroleum reservoir engineer who analyzed profits and cleanup costs for the report. “Policymakers haven’t recognized it. Industry hasn’t recognized it, or, if they have, they haven’t talked about it and acted on it.”

The analysis, which was commissioned by Carbon Tracker Initiative, a financial think tank that studies how the transition away from fossil fuels impacts markets and the economy, used California regulators’ draft methodology for calculating the costs associated with plugging oil and gas wells and decommissioning them along with related infrastructure. The methodology was developed with feedback from the industry.

The report broke down the costs into several categories. Plugging wells, dismantling surface infrastructure and decontaminating polluted drill sites would cost at least $13.2 billion, based on publicly available data. Adding in factors with slightly more uncertainty, like inflation rates and the price of decommissioning miles of pipeline, could bring the total cleanup bill for California’s onshore oil and gas industry to $21.5 billion.

Meanwhile, California oil and gas production will earn about $6.3 billion in future profits over the remaining course of operations, Purvis estimated.

Compounding the problem, the industry has set aside only about $106 million that state regulators can use for cleanup when a company liquidates or otherwise walks away from its responsibilities, according to state data. That amount equals less than 1% of the estimated cost.

Taxpayers will likely have to cover much of the difference to ensure wells are plugged and not left to leak brine, toxic chemicals and climate-warming methane.

“These findings detail why the state must ensure this cost is not passed along to the California taxpayer,” state Sen. Monique Limón, a Santa Barbara Democrat who has written legislation regulating oil, said in a statement. “It is important that the state collect funding to plug and abandon wells in a timely and expeditious manner.”

Representatives of the state’s oil regulatory agency, the California Geologic Energy Management Division, did not respond to ProPublica’s request for comment on the report’s findings.

Rock Zierman, CEO of the California Independent Petroleum Association, an industry trade group, said in a statement that companies spent more than $400 million last year to plug and clean up thousands of oil and gas wells in the state. “This demonstrates their dedication to fulfilling their obligations and mitigating the environmental impact of their operations,” he said.

Fees on current oil and gas production will offset some of the liabilities, but they’re nowhere near enough to address the shortfall quantified by the new report.

“It really scares me,” Kyle Ferrar, Western program coordinator with environmental and data transparency group FracTracker Alliance, said of the report’s findings. “It’s a lot for the state, even a state as big as California.”

Industry in Decline

High oil prices have translated to huge profits for the industry in recent years, but Carbon Tracker’s report found that’s likely to be short-lived. Only two drilling rigs were operating in the state at one point this year, meaning few new wells will be coming online, and more than a third of all unplugged wells are idle.

Judson Boomhower, an environmental economist and assistant professor at the University of California, San Diego who has studied California’s oil industry, said there are inherent uncertainties in estimating future oil revenues. For example, one variable is how quickly the country shifts from internal combustion engine vehicles to electric. But, he said, Carbon Tracker’s estimates for environmental liabilities track with his research.

“It’s a state in the twilight of its production period, and that means big liabilities,” Boomhower said. He added that now is the time for regulators to prevent companies from offloading their wells to “thinly capitalized firms” unable to shoulder the cleanup.

As ProPublica reported last year, the major oil companies that long dominated in California and have the deep pockets necessary to pay for environmental cleanup are selling their wells and leaving the state, handing the task to smaller and less well-financed companies.

Roughly half of the wells drilled in California have changed hands through sales and bankruptcies since 2010, according to data Ferrar analyzed.

Smaller companies are often one bankruptcy away from their wells being orphaned, meaning they’re left to taxpayers as companies dissolve. The Biden administration recently committed $4.7 billion in taxpayer funds to plug orphan wells.

And the industry’s environmental liabilities in California are far bigger than Carbon Tracker’s report quantifies.

Purvis only included environmental liabilities associated with onshore oil and gas production. Billions of dollars more will be needed to plug offshore wells, remove rigs and reclaim artificial islands used for drilling off the coast of Long Beach, Ventura and Santa Barbara.

Additionally, the report did not quantify the emerging risk of “zombie wells,” which were plugged years ago to weaker standards and are likely to leak if they aren’t replugged. That’s an expensive endeavor, as the average cost to plug one well in California — to say nothing of cleaning up surface contamination — is $69,000, according to Purvis’ research. But some California wells have already begun failing, including in neighborhoods in Los Angeles.

“They’re Not Going to Have Money to Do It Later”

Time is running out to rectify the funding shortfall, for example by increasing the money companies must set aside for well plugging.

Carbon Tracker’s report — using state production data and financial futures contracts on the New York Mercantile Exchange — estimated that as production declines, 58% of all future profits from drilling oil and gas in the state are likely to come over the next two years.

“We have our backs up against the wall in California right now,” Ferrar said. “If companies don’t put money towards it now, they’re not going to have money to do it later.”

Environmental policies could accelerate the industry’s decline. California voters will decide on a ballot initiative in 2024 that would reinstate large buffer zones between communities and oil wells, limiting drilling.

Purvis said acting quickly to plug wells would also “stimulate economic activity” and help smooth the transition for oil and gas workers who stand to lose well-paying jobs in the shift away from climate-warming fossil fuels. Spending large sums to plug old wells would create short-term employment for oil field workers.

As California faces the consequences of its failure to quickly clean up aging oil and gas infrastructure, there are likely several million more wells around the country that are either low-producing or already orphaned and will soon need to be decommissioned.

“California’s going to be a test case or the leading edge of this,” Boomhower said. “This same problem is eventually going to manifest everywhere.”

Climate activists are not alarmists. Just because they are telling you things you don’t want to hear doesn’t mean they are wrong.

If you had a serious medical problem you would trust medical professionals to correctly diagnose and treat it, wouldn’t you? Well then why don’t you trust climate scientists now?

By engaging in climate denial you are choosing to believe the cancer when it tells you it isn’t a threat instead the doctor trying to save your life.

Wanting to bury your head in the sand is understandable when reality is this awful but soon you won’t be able to do even that.

The entire report from the IPCC:

A summary of some main points:

For those who don’t want to read the entire article :

Climate impacts are already more widespread and severe than expected.

We are locked into even worse impacts from climate change in the near-term.

Risks will escalate quickly with higher temperatures, often causing irreversible impacts of climate change.

Inequity, conflict and development challenges heighten vulnerability to climate risks.

Adaptation is crucial. Feasible solutions already exist, but more support must reach vulnerable communities.

But some impacts of climate change are already too severe to adapt to. The world needs urgent action now to address losses and damages.

This shouldn’t cause you to despair. There is still hope. We can and should prepare for the worst while still taking action to mitigate the effects. This, however, requires a politically engaged public who educates themselves on the issues, votes out corrupt politicians and engages in climate action whenever they can. This will mean different things for different people but inaction are no longer an option.

And don’t be mad at climate activist because we’re telling you that your gonna have to get up and actually fight for the future of your planet. Be mad at people like the Exxon Mobile executives who knew what the impacts of continued fossil fuel usage were going to be 45 years ago.

Climate Change: A Pressing Global Issue

climate change refers to the long-term shifts in temperature and weather patterns, mainly caused by human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. These actions increase the concentration of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, trapping heat in the atmosphere. The consequences include rising sea levels, extreme weather events, loss of biodiversity, and health risks for humans.

Causes of Climate Change

Greenhouse Gas Emissions: The primary driver of climate change is the release of greenhouse gases (GHGs), including carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). Burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas for energy production, transportation, and industrial processes significantly increases GHG levels in the atmosphere. This traps heat and warms the Earth, leading to global temperature rise.

Deforestation: Forests absorb CO2, acting as carbon sinks. When trees are cut down, not only does the capacity to absorb carbon decrease, but the stored carbon is also released back into the atmosphere. Deforestation for agriculture, logging, and urban development exacerbates climate change.

Industrial Agriculture: The livestock sector is a major contributor to methane emissions. Additionally, industrial-scale farming practices release nitrous oxide through the excessive use of synthetic fertilizers. Clearing land for agriculture also leads to deforestation, further contributing to climate change.

Impacts of Climate Change

Rising Temperatures: Global temperatures have been steadily increasing, leading to heatwaves, droughts, and changes in precipitation patterns. This affects crop production, water supply, and increases the risk of wildfires.

Melting Ice and Rising Sea Levels: As global temperatures rise, glaciers and polar ice caps are melting, contributing to rising sea levels. Coastal regions and island nations are at risk of being submerged, displacing millions of people.

Extreme Weather Events: Climate change is linked to more frequent and severe weather events such as hurricanes, floods, and storms. These natural disasters result in loss of life, damage to infrastructure, and displacement of communities.

Biodiversity Loss: As ecosystems are disrupted by climate change, many species face extinction. Habitat loss, altered migration patterns, and changing ecosystems put immense pressure on wildlife, leading to a decline in biodiversity.

Mitigation and Adaptation

Renewable Energy: Transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and hydropower can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Investing in energy-efficient technologies and infrastructure is crucial to mitigate climate change.

Reforestation and Conservation: Protecting and restoring forests is essential to absorbing CO2. Reforestation efforts, along with sustainable land management, help sequester carbon and preserve biodiversity.

Sustainable Agriculture: Shifting to sustainable farming practices, such as organic farming, crop rotation, and reducing meat consumption, can lower GHG emissions and reduce the environmental footprint of agriculture.

Climate Adaptation: Communities worldwide must adapt to the changing climate by implementing disaster risk reduction strategies, improving infrastructure resilience, and preparing for sea-level rise.

Global Efforts to Combat Climate Change

Paris Agreement: A landmark international treaty aimed at limiting global temperature rise to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, with efforts to limit the increase to 1.5°C. Countries are required to set nationally determined contributions (NDCs) and regularly report on their progress.

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): The UN’s SDGs include climate action as one of the key goals to ensure a sustainable future for all. Governments, businesses, and civil society are working together to achieve these goals by 2030.

Carbon Pricing: Many countries are implementing carbon pricing mechanisms, such as carbon taxes or cap-and-trade systems, to incentivize businesses and individuals to reduce their carbon footprints.

The Role of Individuals in Combating Climate Change

Energy Efficiency: Reducing energy consumption by using energy-efficient appliances, insulating homes, and utilizing smart technologies can lower carbon footprints. Switching to renewable energy for personal use is also an impactful change.

Sustainable Transportation: Choosing public transport, cycling, walking, or electric vehicles instead of gas-powered cars can significantly reduce emissions from transportation.

Conscious Consumption: Reducing waste, recycling, and supporting sustainable products and companies can reduce the environmental impact of consumption. Minimizing meat consumption and opting for plant-based diets are also effective ways to reduce GHG emissions from agriculture.

Advocacy and Education: Raising awareness about climate change and advocating for strong climate policies can drive collective action. Supporting environmental organizations and participating in climate activism can influence decision-makers to prioritize climate action.

Conclusion

Addressing climate change requires collective action at every level—individual, community, national, and global. By transitioning to a low-carbon economy, protecting ecosystems, and adopting sustainable practices, humanity can mitigate the worst effects of climate change and create a resilient, sustainable future.

India's Carbon Footprint: Challenges and Latest Guidelines

Understanding Carbon Footprint in India: Latest Guidelines and Insights

As global concerns over climate change intensify, understanding and managing our carbon footprint in India has become a crucial aspect of environmental stewardship. In India's rapidly growing economy with a burgeoning population, addressing the carbon footprint is essential for sustainable development. This blog explores the concept of carbon footprint, its implications in India, and the latest guidelines to mitigate its impact.

What is Carbon Footprint?

A carbon footprint in India refers to the total amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitted into the atmosphere due to human activities, measured in units of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e). These emissions primarily come from burning fossil fuels, deforestation, industrial processes, and other activities. The carbon footprint encompasses direct emissions from activities like driving a car or heating a home, as well as indirect emissions from producing and transporting goods and services.

India's Carbon Footprint: Current Scenario

With its vast population and expanding industrial base, India has a significant carbon footprint. According to recent reports, India's footprint is largely driven by its energy sector, which relies heavily on coal for electricity generation. This heavy reliance on fossil fuels contributes substantially to the country's GHG emissions.

Transportation and agriculture are other significant contributors. Rapid urbanization and increasing vehicle ownership have led to higher emissions from the transport sector. Meanwhile, agricultural practices, including rice cultivation and livestock farming, release significant amounts of methane, a potent greenhouse gas.

Impact of Carbon Footprint on India

The consequences of a large Carbon footprint in India. are profound. In India, the impact is evident in various ways:

Climate Change: Increased greenhouse gas emissions contribute to global warming, resulting in more frequent and severe weather events such as heatwaves, floods, and droughts. These changes adversely affect agriculture, water resources, and overall public health.

Air Quality: Higher emissions lead to deteriorating air quality, causing respiratory issues and other health problems for millions of people, especially in urban areas.

Ecosystem Disruption: Altered weather patterns and increased temperatures affect ecosystems and biodiversity, threatening wildlife and disrupting natural habitats.

Latest Guidelines and Initiatives

To address these challenges, the Indian government and various organizations have introduced several guidelines and initiatives to manage and reduce the carbon footprint in India.

National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC): Launched in 2008, the NAPCC outlines eight missions focusing on climate change mitigation and adaptation aspects. Critical missions include the National Solar Mission, which aims to increase the use of solar energy, and the National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency, which targets improvements in energy efficiency across industries.

Carbon Pricing: India has been exploring mechanisms for carbon pricing, such as carbon taxes or cap-and-trade systems, to incentivize reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. While India still needs to get a national carbon tax, discussions and pilot projects are underway to assess its feasibility.

Emission Standards: The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) has set stringent emission norms for industries and vehicles. These standards are designed to limit the amount of pollutants released and encourage the adoption of cleaner technologies.

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): India is committed to the United Nations SDGs, which include specific targets related to climate action. These goals drive national policies and programs aimed at reducing the carbon footprint and promoting sustainable development.

Green Finance: The Indian government is also promoting green finance to support investments in sustainable projects. Initiatives like the Green Bonds market and funding for renewable energy projects are part of the broader strategy to reduce the carbon footprint.

Challenges and Future Directions

While the guidelines and initiatives are a step in the right direction, challenges remain.

The Advent of Gene Editing in Oil and Gas

Gene editing, particularly through CRISPR-Cas9 technology, has revolutionized the way genetic information is manipulated. This technology allows precise alterations to the DNA of organisms, enabling the enhancement of desirable traits and suppression of undesirable ones. In the context of oil and gas, gene editing is being harnessed to optimize microbial processes critical to various stages of oil extraction, refining, and pollution mitigation.

Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR)

One of the most promising applications of gene editing in the oil and gas industry is Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR). MEOR involves the use of microorganisms to increase the amount of oil that can be extracted from reservoirs. Traditionally, this process relied on naturally occurring microbes with limited efficiency. However, with gene editing, scientists can enhance the metabolic pathways of these microbes, making them more effective in breaking down oil and reducing viscosity.

By modifying the genetic makeup of these microorganisms, researchers can tailor them to thrive in extreme conditions typical of oil reservoirs. Enhanced microbes can produce biosurfactants, biopolymers, and gases such as CO2 and methane, which aid in mobilizing trapped oil. This not only boosts oil recovery rates but also extends the lifespan of existing reservoirs, reducing the need for new drilling operations and thereby mitigating environmental impact.

Bioremediation of Oil Spills

Oil spills pose a significant threat to marine and terrestrial ecosystems. Traditional cleanup methods are often labor-intensive, costly, and inefficient. Gene editing offers a novel solution through the development of genetically modified microbes that can rapidly degrade hydrocarbons. These engineered organisms can be deployed to contaminated sites, where they break down oil into less harmful substances at an accelerated rate.

For instance, researchers have successfully edited the genes of certain bacteria to enhance their ability to metabolize complex hydrocarbons. These modified bacteria can be introduced into oil spill sites, where they effectively degrade the oil, significantly reducing the environmental damage and cleanup costs. This bioremediation approach not only offers a more effective solution but also minimizes the ecological footprint of oil spill response efforts.

Biofuel Production

The shift towards sustainable energy sources has led to increased interest in biofuels. Gene editing is playing a crucial role in optimizing the production of biofuels from biomass. By altering the genetic pathways of algae and other microorganisms, scientists can enhance their ability to produce lipids and other biofuel precursors. These genetically modified organisms (GMOs) can be cultivated in bioreactors, producing biofuels that can be blended with traditional fuels or used independently.

In the oil and gas industry, the integration of biofuels offers a pathway to reduce carbon emissions and dependency on fossil fuels. Genetically engineered algae, for example, can be optimized for higher lipid content and faster growth rates, making biofuel production more economically viable. This not only contributes to a more sustainable energy mix but also aligns with global efforts to combat climate change.

Challenges and Ethical Considerations

While the potential benefits of gene editing in the oil and gas industry are substantial, several challenges and ethical considerations must be addressed. The release of genetically modified organisms into the environment raises concerns about unintended ecological impacts and the potential for gene transfer to non-target species. Rigorous testing and regulatory frameworks are essential to ensure the safe and responsible application of gene editing technologies.

Moreover, public perception and acceptance of GMOs remain contentious issues. Transparent communication and engagement with stakeholders, including environmental groups and local communities, are crucial to build trust and acceptance of these innovative solutions.

The most recent climate stupidity suggests that American factories report their greenhouse gas emissions.  As we learned from our country’s first cap-and-trade rule in California, reporting led to required reduction of clean-burning natural gas.  Most factories in California have closed because of that rule.  It required a 75-percent reduction of natural gas — the factories’ only heat source — over five years.

Combustion of natural gas (methane) produces CO2 and H2O, the two building blocks of photosynthesis and organic life on this planet.  It is harmless and most likely beneficial to the environment.

At our gas-physics Weights and Measures facility in California, we tested carbon dioxide.  It cools about the same as dry air: 20 degrees in less than 4 minutes.  It cannot possibly retain heat from day to day (global warming).  We also tested our humid atmosphere, including the trace gases therein.  That cools about 1 degree every 32 minutes or 20 degrees in roughly 11 hours.  These tests prove that no gas — not carbon dioxide, nitrogen, methane, nor even humid air — retains heat from day to day.

The scientific reality is, there is no such thing as a greenhouse gas.

So what is the source of the false greenhouse theory?  More importantly, why is it wrong?

After Al Gore arranged $22 billion annually for universities to study global warming, professors dredged up the old greenhouse theory to justify regulating carbon dioxide.  John Tyndall’s experiment and thirty-six-page paper, written in 1861, is the much referenced scientific study behind the greenhouse theory and global warming.

No new significant science has been added to the greenhouse theory since the paper was written.  Advocates even use some of Tyndall’s exact words from the paper.

John Tyndall spent two years building a large device that used a galvanometer indicator to measure gas temperature.  The galvanometer did not quantify temperature; it measured only the movement of a gauge with gradation marks from 0 to 100.  His use of an indicator with no calibrated temperature numbers led to his false conclusion, as you will read below.

On page three of his study, Tyndall described his measuring chamber as polished brass with rock-salt lenses at each end.  The subject gas would be trapped inside the brass chamber, and he produced heat that passed through both rock-salt lenses to a sensing device.  Sensing at the end of the chamber was a thermopile, which detects heat emanating through air.  It then sent a variable current to the galvanometer indicator.

Tyndall should have simply used a bi-metal temperature gauge, which had been invented about sixty years prior.  It seems that since the galvanometer and the thermopile devices were new inventions, he wanted to use them.

Tyndall noted that the galvanometer’s needle wagged like a compass.  This was likely caused by the thermopile, which is affected by open-atmosphere interference.  He made his first attempt to mitigate this by saying, “I therefore sought to replace the Berlin coil with a less magnetic one.”  So the galvanometer that he had purchased was degraded to be less sensitive and less accurate.

We never would have given our Weights and Measures approval for John Tyndall’s device due to this and several other reasons.

The inaccuracy resulted in Tyndall listing air as absorbing “0” temperature.  This proves the inaccuracy.  Dry air absorbs about 22 degrees on average each day.  For example, Death Valley has very dry air, and it absorbs an extreme amount of heat.  

Then Tyndall lists in increasing temperatures carbonic oxide, carbonic acid, nitrous oxide, and olefiant gas.  Olefiant gas is ethylene, which is the largest molecule in the group.  These are called compound molecules because they are two or more connected atoms, like CO2.  Air is a mixture of unconnected atoms, mostly oxygen and nitrogen.  When Tyndall’s galvanometer registered 1 on a scale of 100 for air and 70.3 for another gas (on pages 7–9), Tyndall concluded that the latter gas absorbed 70.3 times more temperature than air.

At this point, he ended his testing of relative temperature absorption to surmise what is now the greenhouse theory: since air absorbs almost no temperature, it is, in Tyndall’s words, “transparent to the rays of the sun,” which penetrate the air to warm the Earth’s surface.  Some temperature that is absorbed by Earth is radiated back up, and such small amount of temperature is absorbed by larger compound-molecule gases (greenhouse gases in today’s jargon). 

This sounds good.  However, the inaccuracy of Tyndall’s instrument and measuring air at near zero temperature led to his false conclusion about a so-called greenhouse effect.

The temperature he was measuring was obviously extremely low and below the accuracy range of his instrument.  Consider that the temperature of a single candle-type flame under a copper chamber filled with water, then through the copper wall, then through a rock-salt lens, into a brass chamber that would have leaked temperature, then through another rock-salt lens, then through open atmosphere, could have been below one degree Fahrenheit for all we know.  All the temperatures would have been within one degree of each other, not 70 times greater.

Throughout the final pages of his paper, Tyndall discussed these so-called enormous differences — when, in fact, they were likely so small that accurately measured results would disprove his greenhouse theory.

Our experiments proved this to be true.  The cooling time of dry air and carbon dioxide are very nearly the same.  There is little difference in heat absorption between small-molecule gases and large-molecule gases.

It is water vapor that retains the vast amount of heat, not the size of the molecule.  Large-molecule (compound) gases retain heat for minutes, not days.  There is no such thing as a greenhouse gas or any gas, including vaporous air, that retains heat from day to day (global warming).  Greenhouse gases are a scientific myth.

Understanding Climate Change- Three Essential Lessons

Introduction

Climate change is arguably one of the most pressing challenges facing humanity today. As scientists continue to study its impacts, we’ve gleaned invaluable insights that shape our understanding of this complex phenomenon. In this article, we’ll delve into three crucial lessons we’ve learned about climate change, shedding light on its causes, consequences, and potential solutions.

Lesson 1: Human Activities Drive Climate Change

The Human Footprint

The first lesson we’ve learned about climate change is the significant role human activities play in its acceleration. Through industrialization, deforestation, and the burning of fossil fuels, we’ve unleashed unprecedented levels of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These gases, including carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O), Water vapor (H2O), Ozone (O3), Fluorinated gases, trap heat and contribute to the warming of our planet—a phenomenon known as the greenhouse effect.

The Impact of Greenhouse Gas Emissions

The consequences of our actions are evident in the rising global temperatures, melting polar ice caps, and more frequent extreme weather events. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports that human activities have caused approximately 1.0°C of global warming above (Source: IPCC) pre-industrial levels, with profound implications for ecosystems, communities, and economies worldwide.

Lesson 2: Climate Change is a Threat Multiplier

Amplifying Risks

The second lesson underscores the reality that climate change acts as a threat multiplier, exacerbating existing vulnerabilities and inequalities. From food insecurity and water scarcity to displacement and conflict, its impacts intersect with social, economic, and environmental challenges, amplifying the risks faced by marginalized communities.

Disproportionate Impacts

Low-income populations, indigenous peoples, and coastal communities are disproportionately affected by climate change, despite contributing the least to its causes. Moreover, developing countries often lack the resources and infrastructure to adapt to its effects, further widening the gap between the most and least vulnerable.

Lesson 3: Collective Action is Imperative

The Call for Global Cooperation

The third lesson underscores the imperative of collective action in addressing climate change. While individual efforts are commendable, the scale of the challenge necessitates coordinated action at the local, national, and international levels. From policy reforms and technological innovations to sustainable practices and behavioral changes, a multi-faceted approach is essential to mitigate its impacts and build resilience.

The Paris Agreement

The Paris Agreement, adopted in 2015, is a landmark accord in the global fight against climate change. By committing to limiting global warming to well below 2.0°C above pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit it to 1.5°C, signatory nations acknowledge the situation’s urgency and pledge to enhance their climate action ambitions over time.

Conclusion

In conclusion, our evolving understanding of climate change has illuminated three fundamental lessons: the pivotal role of human activities in driving its acceleration, the reality of its status as a threat multiplier, and the imperative of collective action to mitigate its impacts. As we confront this existential challenge, we must heed these lessons, prioritize sustainability, and work together toward a more resilient and equitable future for generations to come.
