On November 20th, I'm going with my union to stand during an important vote on the Guaranteed Basic Income, which has the potential to change the lives of thousands of working class people. I'm the only anarchist member and I'm going in honor of my late uncle. #union #leftist #workingclass

One reason there’s a focus on methane compared to carbon is it’s the greenhouse gas with much larger effect: you get much more bangs-for-your-bucks per unit tackling it. If we don’t tackle methane, we’ll have to make vastly bigger efforts on the other pollutants.
We know what we need to do,

I thought I’d have a go at answering the question: what’s the flow on effect on emissions budgets from the methane cuts?
The answer was worse than I had anticipated

Now that NZ dairy farmers are set to get a windfall, perhaps the current government can ask they get back to doing all we can to mitigate methane emissions?
It’s perhaps the biggest "putting it back into the community" they could offer.

If climate policy had a “best buy,” it might be methane cuts
Global methane mitigation has a benefit–cost ratio >6:1, even before accounting for near-term climate feedbacks
A strong case: it’s among the most efficient levers in climate policy

Global methane action pays for itself at least six times over
We provide a comprehensive assessment of the economic benefits and costs of global methane emissions abatement, anchored on the Global Methane Pledge. We use an integrated assessment model to estimate...
