"There is already more than enough LNG export capacity to meet global demand for the fuel, if countries meet national and international climate goals."

Timber-production forests are twice less likely to burn as timber plantations:
"We find plantations in temperate regions were twice as likely to suffer stand-replacing wildfires than natural production forests, including in vital timber-producing nations like China and Russia. Plantations in tropical regions showed no clear effect".
Bousfield et al. (2025). "Global risk of wildfire across timber production systems" https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-025-59272-6

A discussion with an expert on the nature of powering “AI” data centers.
Ketan Joshi: AI versus the climate
Some activities are forcing climate change
CH4 emissions from livestock digestion:
- Pakistan doubles emissions between 2005 and 2024.
- Pakistan and Brazil each emit 3,000 Gg/year more in 2023 than in 2005.

Against #methane 🚦
• Institutions should support vegetal proteins and dairy.
• Social movements may target the meat industry.
• Animal husbandry in the USA, Brazil, Argentina, are the emittive from enteric fermentation. Corporations should look at how other continents (not Australia) work.
• Any country should ban bovine import from Brazil, Argentina, US, Australia.
• Any country should castrate male calves. Particular buffalos in Pakistan & India.

Let's consider activities that force the Greenhouse Effect, thus @climate@a.gup.pe change. 🧵
#Livestock digestion emits too much #methane:
• People farm too many bovines in India, Pakistan, Brazil, United States, China;
• People farm too many goats in India, Pakistan, China, Nigeria;
• People farm too many pigs in China and the United States.

Across 165 countries, the highest GHG emissions from diet are among highly educated urban men aged 15-34.
Median is 5.7 kgCO2e/day, against 2.9 for rural women aged 35-54 with low education. In others words, the impact on climate is roughly double in a group with more resources, choice, and agency.

The expansion of LNG depends on the support of banks and asset managers who continue to pump unrestricted finance into the sector, with banks providing US$213 billion for LNG expansion between 2021 and 2023.
The #report assesses financial flows (project financing and corporate financing) to and investments (bonds and equity) in the 150 largest LNG developers: https://reclaimfinance.org/site/en/2024/12/05/frozen-gas-boiling-planet-how-the-support-of-banks-and-investors-to-lng-fuels-a-climate-disaster/

We should not be burning methane gas in our homes (or anywhere).
New research report: Scientists gave asthma patients free electric stoves to replace their gas stoves, then checked to see if symptoms improved.
Not only did symptoms improve but ditching gas was *better than medicine.*
