Danes preberem, da je najvišji šef naftnega giganta Shell rekel, da bi bilo za resno omejevanje globalnega segrevanja treba pogozditi za eno Amazonijo zemeljske površine. Da malo sonca tukaj in malo vetra tam ni dovolj za resne spremembe. Tako sem prebral v Handelsblattu, označeno kot "redka dobrina fantazija, ki jo je Shellovec velikodušno delil s svetom.

Ampak Nemcem pri teh okoljsko-energetskih zadevah ni ravno za zaupati, zato sem pogledal, kaj lahko o tem najdem v angleškem segmentu interneta. Najprej pojasnilo, da gre za povzetke s konference Oil & Money in tamkajšnjega nastopa predsednika uprave firme Royal Dutch Shell Bena van Beurdena. Pa poglejmo bolj konservativni Reuters in bolj progresivni Guardian. V obeh poročajo v rubriki "environment" (v Guardianu podrubrika "climate change"), ampak kakšna razlika! Reuters poudarja nadaljno rast porabe fosilnih goriv in rastoč pomen plina, Guardian pa... no kar poglejte.

Natural gas here to stay beyond energy transition, Big Oil says
Top oil companies including Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.AS), BP (BP.L) and Total (TOTF.PA) are adapting with growing urgency to the need to develop cleaner energy sources, investing more and more in solar and wind power, electric vehicle technology and even forestation.
Shell is investing more than any other of its peers in clean energy, spending $1 billion to $2 billion a year on renewables and low-carbon energy. That compares with a total annual spending budget of $25 billion-$30 billion.

Shell boss says mass reforestation needed to limit temperature rises to 1.5C
Ben van Beurden says ‘another Brazil in terms of rainforest’ will help achieve UN target
“You can get to 1.5C, but not by just by pulling the same levers a little bit harder, because they are being pulled roughly as fast and and as hard as we are currently imagining. What we think can be done is massive reforestation. Think of another Brazil in terms of rainforest: you can get to 1.5C,” he told an oil and gas industry audience in London.

Kar me je spomnilo na tale nedavni rejv
live.finance.si/8939...h-zemljisc
in bujno izmenjavo linkov na razne eko- in perma- filmčke, ki se je razrasla pod njim. Zdaj pa si, kumbaya, predstavljajmo, da bi belosvetska gamad, ki aktivno sodeluje v morijah in množičnih pregonih na Bližnjem vzhodu (Syria on my mind), vse svoje svinjske milijarde in morilske kadre namenila perma- ali siceršnji ozelenitvi puščavske krajine. Imagine!

Naj zaključim s še enim citatom iz Handelsblatta (glej zgoraj), ki se navezuje na rejv o ogroženih kmetijskih zemljiščih v Iranu.

Weltweit leiden mehr als 800 Millionen Menschen Hunger, gleichzeitig gehen jährlich zehn Millionen Hektar Agrarfläche verloren.
