Alberta’s United Conservative Party has passed a resolution to rebrand carbon dioxide—the chief gas whose overabundance in Earth’s atmosphere is causing the climate emergency—in a brazen display of climate science denial that harkens back to the 1990s fossil fuel industry playbook. Resolution 12, which falls under the ‘environmental stewardship and emissions reduction’ area of the policy discussion, will “recognize the importance of CO2 to life and Alberta’s prosperity.

The devastating flooding should spur this month’s Cop29 climate conference to press for immediate action, not look away Move on. Nothing to see here. Just another ordinary, everyday apocalypse. If past experience is any guide, the world’s reaction to the floods in Spain last week will be similar to that of motorway drivers at a crash scene: slow down, take in the horror, outwardly express sympathy, inwardly give thanks that fate picked someone else – and foot on the accelerator.

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.
