"Drax will keep raising carbon emission levels until 2050s, study says"

More news from the Ministry of the Fucking Obvious.

"Analysis finds demand for wood pellets from US for North Yorkshire power plant reduces forest carbon stocks"

Really?! [ShockedPikachuFace.jpg]

TL;DR the study says that carbon capture technology, if it existed and they used it, still wouldn't outweigh the damage Drax will do by operating until 2050.

~90% solar energy captured by Earth goes first into the ocean for distribution. Current accelerating rate of temp rise = extinction < 100 yrs if warming not stopped. Rapid emergency global mobilization needed!

To protect their special-interest patrons, today's governments are working to stop or delay mobilization.To hope for a viable future, governments must accept that the risks exist and help organize and lead the war effort. Visit @VoteClimateOne
