We did not get an agreement to phaseout fossil fuels at COP28, but we did get a deal that calls for a phasedown this decade. It was a hard-fought battle that saw two competing perspectives go head-to-head. On one side there was a large and powerful fossil fuel contingent that rejected phasing out hydrocarbons and […] The post Who Won the Fossil Fuel War at COP28? appeared first on Change Oracle ..read more

The fossil fuel industry has a long history of malfeasance but their misapplication of carbon capture may be their most audacious disinformation ploy to date. As explained in an Energy Transitions Commission report, carbon technology is being ‘co-opted’ by fossil-fuel companies so they can keep extracting oil and gas. While carbon capture is a critical […] The post Exposing Big Oil’s Audacious Carbon Capture Deception appeared first on Change Oracle ..read more

Our ongoing failure to reign in carbon emissions makes technological climate solutions increasingly critical, but there are limits to what they can do.  While carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and negative emissions technologies (NETs) are critical parts of a suite of climate solutions, petrostates and the fossil fuel industry are asking the impossible of these fledgling […] The post Petrostates are Asking the Impossible of Carbon Technologies appeared first on Change Oracle ..read more

We are seeing efforts to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions,* but according to 10 recently published, authoritative scientific reports and studies, we are not doing anywhere near enough to meet the targets laid out in the Paris Climate Agreement. We have seen hopeful progress that includes the prodigious growth of renewable sources of energy, and […] The post The State of Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Summary and Recommendations of the Most Up-to-Date and Authoritative Science appeared first on Change Oracle ..read more

Along with reduction and adaptation, carbon technology is the third pillar of climate action. In its simplest essence, these are technological approaches to preventing carbon from being emitted into the atmosphere or removing carbon from the air Carbon removal (CR) is also known as carbon dioxide removal (CDR), negative emissions technologies (NETs), and climate technology, […] The post Simple Explanation of Carbon Technology: A Critical Climate Tech appeared first on Change Oracle ..read more

Carbon capture is a critical climate technology that is at the center of this year’s conference of the parties. COP 28 is scheduled to take place in Dubai’s Expo City, UAE from Nov. 30 through Dec. 12. The event has been mired in controversy because the host country is a petrostate, and an oil industry […] The post The Fossil Fuel Industry’s Carbon Capture Ruse at COP 28 appeared first on Change Oracle ..read more
