It also magnifies the extreme weather it shelters us from. Taking in all stages of production, concrete is said to be responsible for 4-8% of the worlds CO2. Among materials, only coal, oil and gas are a greater source of greenhouse gases. Half of concretes CO2 emissions are created during the manufacture of clinker, the most-energy intensive part of the cement-making process.

Concrete is the cement of our civilization.
Jonathan Watts probably flies around in private jets like Bernie and Al Gore. Socialist creepy monsters APPLY the laws on the powerless - they NEVER follow their laws.
Anyone notice how fat the Venezuelan President and his staff have become while the people of Venezuela are starving?
To commies the food taste better when the powerless are forced to watch their children starve to death.
Stalin was fat too.
Same with Mao...
Fat indulgent commies and starving children ... indulgence and death - hand in hand - the Commie way.
Beavers destroy trees.
Yes, but you can wear them ...
They are very warm. I have a coat in the closet made of several of them.
See ... we do need that beaver protected status - except during trapping season
Water vapor accounts for 95% of all greenhouse gases. And as you have pointed out, the effects of each gas vary. IIRC, the EFFECT of water vapor on the greenhouse effect is 98% or something.
Limestone + heat = quicklime + carbon dioxide
Quicklime is an essential ingredient in concrete
For the chemists here:
1 mol of CaCO3 + energy = 1 mol of CaO + 1 mol of CO2
(sorry, don’t know how to do subscripts)
Bold faced lie. I think they meant to say 4-8% of man-made sources of CO2.
Well....there WAS the Roman Warm Period.
Floating Bridges too I-90 and 520 in Seattle.
Take the lead, climate change cultist: build a dung hut and live in it.
BS! All human activity combined adds up to about 3% of the global CO2 emissions! Concrete does not contribute 4-8% of all global CO2 emissions by itself. This article is completely fake!
It's right behind beer.
"Another approach is to pump liquid carbon dioxide into the concrete before mixing. This can reduce the carbon emissions from concrete production when combined with a power plant or other industry that produces CO2"
So they would suggest you expend the energy and cost to liquify CO2 and then pump it into the concrete being mixed. Hard to believe but this is what we are dealing with.
“We are all going to die” bump!
When you think the loser LIB warmists can’t be more idiotic...There they go again! What pathetic anti-science nitwits.
The most destructive thing is a Democrat.
