SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt (AP) — The war-inspired natural gas boom is undermining already insufficient efforts to limit future warming to just a few more tenths of a degree, a new report says.
Planning and build-up of liquified and other natural gas — due to an energy crisis triggered by Russian’s invasion of Ukraine — would add 2 billion tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (1.9 billion metric tons) a year to the air by 2030.
The sheer amount of liquified natural gas projects in the pipeline for construction shocked the analysts, Hare said. The report calculates that if everything planned goes through, the build-up would produce five times the amount of gas it is supposed to replace from Russia.
“This reaction to the energy crisis is an over reach that must be scaled back,” the report says.
Natural gas industry leaders say the fuel is the answer to the world’s problem, not a problem itself.
“The global conversation has changed. And what has changed about it is the recognized version of how essential energy is to not just economic security, but national security,” Karen Harbert, chief executive officer of the American Gas Association told The Associated Press. “Natural gas is not only essential for the survival of Ukraine, it can do a lot to address the world’s carbon emissions. It can do a lot to bring people out of energy poverty. And here in the United States, we’re blessed to have so much natural gas today.”

Same for the US.
Don’t blame the knife when you willingly reached for and then used that knife to cut your own wrists.
I say F*ck you AP! You are so worried about climate change. Why worry about it when we are allowing millions of babies to be murdered in the womb and now even after they are born alive after abortion! Maybe you should start writing about that! So sick of these holier than thou media a**holes that can’t see the real problems we face instead of these pie in the ski wet dreams!
I’d like to ask Seth 1 question. What the hell are we supposed to use for energy?!
Nothing. You just die.
A nice simple question....
Oh OK, thanks for clearing that up. I’ll take a number as soon as Seth offs himself.
This is truly moronic.
Let me see if I get this right, people using less gas because the Russians have stopped delivery will cause more fictitious global warming.
I hope the moron who wrote this drivel does his part to curb global warming and freezes to death.
The cleanest of the fossil fuels, so it scares them most.

Pardon me, but ASSPRESS is, on a good day, full of SH!T.
This evil fantasy of an article takes the BS to a whole new level.
First sentence...it goes back, back to “GLOBAL WARMING”...did you know we are back to “warming” again. BWAHAHahahaha
Oh, f@#$ your world climate goals!
Exactly! LOL Good one!
I am reading the Fossil Future right now and like it very much. Is there a point in reading “The Moral Case ...” too? I got the impression that Fossil Future is him making the same case, just in a more refined way.
