The most sinister aspect about the Green movement around the world is its utter disregard for the poor people in poor countries, especially those with darker skins.

There are reasons why grain has been produced in certain areas in South Africa related to the climate, the topography and the access to markets. The coal mining is destroying that land, it is making it useless,” Pieter Taljaard, the CEO of industry group Grain SA..  

Coal has been rightfully branded a dirty fuel source as burning it in large quantities drives climate change and pollutes the air. Yet soon it could help us with a clean energy transition by serving as storage for hydrogen to power transportation, electricity generation and manufacturing.

The impact of food on greenhouse-gas (ghg) emissions can slip under the radar. In a survey in Britain last year, the share of respondents saying that “producing plants and meat on farms” was a “significant contributor” to climate change was the lowest among ten listed activities.

Air pollution particles from coal-fired power plants are more harmful to human health than many experts realized, and it’s more than twice as likely to contribute to premature deaths as air pollution particles from other sources, new research demonstrates.

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas. It is released from natural sources (like wetlands) and human activities (coal mining, and oil and gas production). It is also emitted by agriculture (especially livestock and rice paddies), and decomposing waste in rubbish dumps.
