Natural gas facilities in Australia

mardi 16 mai 2023 à 05:46

Australia has approved the construction of new facilities for handling natural gas near Darwin, which will surely push the Earth closer to busting the carbon budget and collapse of civilization.

The facilities are supposed to include producing "blue hydrogen", which means hydrogen gas generated by consuming fossil fuels and generating carbon emissions. They also include carbon capture and storage, will encourage using more fossil gas but is unlikely to actually eliminate its greenhouse emissions.

If that were not bad bad enough, the currently approved development area comes pretty close to an aboriginal rock art site. If development extends, it could reach that site and endanger it.

Australian rock art is amongst the oldest cultural relics of humanity and no one should have the power to authorize damaging it.

Plenty of aspects of human perception, thought, and behavior are partially socially constructed, but that doesn't mean they are arbitrary or that they are not constrained by reality.
