Protecting Public Health from False Climate Solutions by Kathleen Schuler
Fossil fuel companies are promoting an array of technological and market-based solutions to the climate crisis. We can evaluate these “solutions” by asking: Who benefits? What is the amount of greenhouse gases reduced? Are there better alternatives? Is it part of our zero emissions future? And, are there external harms to air, water, land and human health? While there are many false solutions being proposed, this presentation will specifically cover: low carbon fuel standards, carbon capture and storage, bioenergy, waste incineration and mining as false climate solutions for Minnesota.
