, published in Environmental Science & Technology, which claims to demonstrate that leaks from natural gas stoves in U.S. homes create a major climate impact. The study estimates that these leaks have a climate impact “equivalent to the carbon dioxide emissions from about 500,000 gas-powered cars.”
When one looks into the authors of the study, one finds that the lead author, Eric Lebel, is affiliated with, a well-known anti-fossil fuel activist group. Another, Robert Jackson, has a long history while at Duke University of publishing questionable studies about natural gas in the U.S. So, we have a study created by authors with a pre-set agenda that is based on conditions that do not exist in the real world.
Of course, there is another option, also pushed by a growing segment of the global climate alarm movement, exemplified by “What’s more,” she continues, “GDP has never been and can’t be decoupled from material footprint, including energy. This means we cannot roll out renewable energy fast enough to meet the objectives of the Paris Agreement – to keep warming below 2°C – if we continue growing our economy.” Thus, the solution in this line of thought is to reduce carbon emissions by eliminating economic growth, and in fact implementing policies that will shrink the economy.
