Yeah, I feel the same way. #decarbonized #Oil ? I read that in some recent #Canadian #federal press releases last week and went #WTF ?

I know what it means (no #carbon #emissions during production) but really? What about at the point of end use?

There is no such thing as "decarbonized oil"

The decarbonized doublespeak may not be new but it was jarring coming from the mouth of our new PM, who has an undeniable grasp of the impacts of hydrocarbons but nevertheless talked about “decarbonized barrels” at the press conference following the first ministers’ meeting

Also, respectfully, how many articles reporting on these 'nation building' projects that mentioned Carney's " #decarbonized pipelines" and expensive #CarbonCapture programs also mentioned the enormous scepticism so many have, including the #IPCC, for these projects as meaningful climate solutions?
Government adviser slams Mark Carney for promoting ‘decarbonized’ oil pipelines

The co-chair of the federal government’s climate action advisory group is slamming Prime Minister Mark Carney for using fossil fuel “marketing speak”.

Cost (Acquisition vs Lifecycle) is an impediment to #Decarbonization for only as long as the #UKGov allows it. #HeatPumps are no exception. Ending ALL #FossilFuel subsidies, grants and freebies would more than pay for the ENTIRE UK to be #Decarbonized and #Electrified.

This gas utility will heat customers' home without gas | CBC News

In this week's issue of our environment newsletter, we look at a U.S. gas utility that's found a way to provide carbon-free heating and examine what Canada is doing to rein in corporate greenwashing.

The path to net-zero emissions runs through industry

As government leaders and climate negotiators gather in Dubai for the COP28 United Nations climate conference, an enormous challenge looms over the proceedings: decarbonizing the global industrial sector.

It would be much easier for #biden and #trudeau to call for a #ceasefire if they didn't have to appease #isreal to keep the #oil flowing. Neither one wants another #1973.

We should have #decarbonized to the point where no nation can use their #gas reserves to justify their #wars.

Just How Good for the Planet Is That Big Electric Pickup Truck?

E.V.s are usually a more climate-friendly option. But as they bulk up, their emissions savings, and other environmental and safety benefits, begin to diminish.
