Companies that supply dangerous products love to fabricate their own moral neutrality - 'we're just meeting what society demands of us' kinda thing.

Trump says he's going to pull out of the Paris Agreement.
That's a bad move, but it's not "game over" for climate -- not at all! It's "game on," and we must now focus on new climate leadership and new climate tactics.

I've never met anyone who has had an EV who would then choose to return to driving an ICE.
Forget cost savings. Forget 'saving the planet'. Just on driving experience alone, people are immediately sold.

Now we get to see how the Brevik 50% CCS capture cement plant works. On the QT, several higher capture rate projects are abandoning amine based separation systems …🤞
CCS at Norwegian cement plant reached "Mechanical Completion" today. That means everything is place for testing.
All going well, the plant will capture 400 ktCO₂ per year, which will be transported for subsea storage. This is Heidelberg's first cement CCS to reach this stage.

Even if Norway dismantles the oil & gas industry, there is a need for new investment & there will be a lot of value creation (income).
Maintaining production at current levels requires massive investment in new areas & significant risk of stranded assets.

A gentle reminder that if we miss the 1.5°C target (and we certainly will), the next target is 1.51°C and not 2°C. We need to keep fighting.
Every tonne of CO₂ emitted makes the job of future CO₂ removal harder, and every 0.01°C of temperature increase makes the world more chaotic and dangerous.
