Today is Friday and I decided to make it a Earth Day….I try to keep to a theme as best I can daily…but since I will not lower myself to posting on the ACA I guess I will give you all the info that you cannot use……you’re welcome!
Whether you are a proponent of climate change or not…matters not…..there is a problem with the emissions of plants in this world…..these places are dumping lots of crap into the atmosphere…..
Newser) – Want to personally thank those largely responsible for putting greenhouse gases into the air? Fewer than 100 phone calls will do the trick. According to new research, 90 companies have produced 63% of the emissions of carbon dioxide and methane since the dawn of the industrial age. Chevron, BP, and Exxon together caused more than 9% of emissions alone, the Guardian reports. All but seven offenders on the list are oil, gas, and coal producers—roughly 30% are state-owned—while half the emissions were produced in the last 25 years, the analysis shows.
“There are thousands of oil, gas, and coal producers in the world,” says a climate researcher. “But the decision makers, the CEOs, or the ministers of coal and oil, if you narrow it down to just one person, they could all fit on a Greyhound bus or two.” Al Gore calls the research a “crucial step forward,” one that he sees as spreading the onus of taking action from governments to corporations. “Those who are historically responsible for polluting our atmosphere have a clear obligation to be part of the solution,” he says. The analysis will be published in Climatic Change.
There is a problem……and NO one wants to handle it or find a solution that will benefit the world……companies do not want to pay for the trash they produce…..let ask the disbelievers…..do you pay monthly for the pick up of the trash you produce? If so, why can’t these polluters do the same without some PR nightmare of how it would screw the consumer….these companies have been doing just that for decades, if not longer……but as usual…Americans will wait until there is NO hope to try and repair the damage they have made….. so typical!
I am really concerned about the on-going but apparently little-reported problems with that Fukishema atomic plant meltdown in Japan – – I read where that thing continues to dump radioactive material into the Pacific and that there are some concerns that the entire Pacific fishery may be contaminated – – – have you heard anything about any of this?
Signs of radioactive material are fast approaching the shores of Alaska and headed our way to the West coast and points south to Mexico.
We need to keep an eye on fishing reports…that should be a good indication if there is a major problem……
John, I have only seen a few vague reports…apparently the Japs are keeping it as hush hush as possible…..
