Attached: 1 image 40% of worldwide shipping is shipping fossil fuels around the globe. And Europe is increasing this "CO2 shipment to the atmosphere" now by replacing pipelined gas with shipped LNG. Someone has probably done the maths for the climate load of this significant change? I'd be interested, you too? Shipped #LNG overall should cause fewer #methane #leaks than pipelined gas (at least overland?), I guess. And contrary to pipelined gas, shipped LNG causes #SO2 and #NOx. Both are coolants. NOx by way of tropospheric ozone and then OH radicals which bomb #CH4 molecules to bits. So the embedded short-term, 10-year, climate-load of shipped LNG should be smaller than that of pipelined gas. Much smaller. The increased bombing of CH4 molecules by additional OH radicals seems to me a very desirable side effect of Putler's war on #Ukraine, seeing that the OH sink is suspected to be in decline recently. A decline, maybe as side effect of pandemic-induced less NOx from decreased shipping and reduced road traffic?🤔
Jau. Und wenn wir va. im Transport die Verbrenner verbannen, fehlt #NOx für die #OHSenke von #CH4. Dazu noch "Gas als Brücke" und Deine hoffnungsvollen Cli-Fi-Visionen sind völlig utopisch. 😁 By 2030!
(Dass ich Reinhards Toot über Deinem nicht zu sehen bekomme, hat 2 Gründe. Einmal wurde er gefiltert (bin gegen CrossPosting von Twitter ins Fediverse und hatte strenge Wortfilter, die ich nun abgeschwächt hab).
Andererseits hat meine Instanz selbst Probleme mit seinem Toot.)
