The governments of Brazil, Italy, Japan, and India are spearheading a new pledge calling for the rapid global expansion of biofuels as a commitment to decarbonizing transportation energy.
An analysis by a clean transport advocacy organization published last month found that, because of the indirect impacts to farming and land use, biofuels are responsible globally for 16 percent more CO2 emissions than the planet-polluting fossil fuels they replace
The fuel vs food issue is a well known problem in first generation biofuel, has been for years. It’s sad to read they’re still being developed and encouraged.
There are standards, either in draft or already in place, to encourage biofuel made from second generation feedstock: sources that are not suitable for human consumption, such as agricultural and municipal wastes, waste oils, and algae. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-generation_biofuels
Has COP30 ignored all of that?!
“To meet growing fuel demands, a GMO wheat - Triticum vulgaris megasuavis - specifically engineered for the production of a new kind of complex grain alcohol will be created and produced by a new trans-national conglomerate headquartered in Rome, Italy. It will aptly be named Biotechnica…”
(uh oh)
It’s crazy to me that America is pretty much Night City with the amount of guns they have, but all they’ve been able to point them at so far was schools, for the most part.
Like these fuckers CAN fight back LITERALLY but they don’t. No freedom fighters, no rebels, no gangs fighting for their freedom. Nothing.
America is Night City with none of the glory.
It’s such bullshit how blatantly “mask-off” fascists around the world are acting lately, and literally no one cares.
It really seems like they’ve won.
Well, a plant absorbs co2 when it’s grown, to release it upon decomposition or burning.
What am I missing?
