Here's part of the introduction to an article describing "Climate 'solutions' that don’t help"...
___________________________
Many shiny new “green” ideas do more to preserve fossil fuels than to replace them.
The world continues to face a major obstacle to addressing the climate crisis: deliberate distraction with a proliferation of new whiz-bang technologies and ideas.
Some are well-intentioned, some are strategic, some delusional, but most are outright greenwashing to justify the continued use of fossil fuels and to distract from the inevitable move to less expensive renewable energy.
___________________________
All the items on their list --
🔴 The mother of all distractions: Carbon Capture and Storage
🔴 Deceptively distracting: Dirty hydrogen branded as “clean” by its proponents
🔴 Net nothing: 2050 Net Zero targets
🔴 BS: Chevron’s “renewable” cow dung
🔴 Silly: Renewable race fuel
🔴 Embarrassing: Exxon’s Ill-fated green algae gas
🔴 Most intense distraction: “Least carbon intensive” oil and gas from Saudi Arabia and the UAE
🔴 Most annoying: A 50 billion tree planting project
🔴 Endlessly distracting: Traditional fission nuclear power
