(Spoiler: smashing corporate capitalism isn't one of them) **** https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-66323843 [Scroll down past Biden's posturing lies, covered without critique by the beeb of course] Six ways we can stop climate change Climate change is caused by the build up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere - largely caused by humans burning coal, oil and gas, though there are other causes too. You can read more in our guide to climate change here. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-24021772 So what can be done to turn things round? Generate energy from sustainable sources like wind and solar, says the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Coal should be retired for good. Reduce methane emissions. A substantial amount of methane is released from "flaring" - the burning of natural gas during oil extraction. Changing cows' diets can also help. Switch to electric vehicles. Plant more trees. Forests are excellent at soaking up CO2. Develop emerging technologies that artificially remove CO2 from the atmosphere. Direct-air capture uses fans to push air through a chemical filter to absorb C02. Carbon capture collects emissions (eg from coal-fired power plants) and buries them deep underground. Financial aid to help poorer countries move towards greener energy. You can read more about these solutions here. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-59205648 ***** What a joke. I
