alternative medicine can help reduce global warming, by reducing stress, which reduces war, and consumerism, so less fossil fuel needed, and increase sensitivity to life (your own as well as others)
too much fire right now, lets calm down
Not only is California going up in flames,
fracking flaring, methane from permafrost, CO2 from fossil fuel has got to stop (it causes global warming- aka climate change-see pix at tend of post...stop lying- everyone)
At a discussion convened last year by the Independent Petroleum Association of America, a group that represents energy companies, participants worried that producers were intentionally flaring, or burning off, far too much natural gas, threatening the industry’s image, according to a recording of the meeting reviewed by The New York Times.
“We’re just flaring a tremendous amount of gas,” said Ron Ness, president of the North Dakota Petroleum Council, at the June 2019 gathering, held in Colorado Springs. “This pesky natural gas,” he said. “The value of it is very minimal,” particularly to companies drilling mainly for oil.
A well can produce both oil and natural gas, but oil commands far higher prices. Flaring it is an inexpensive way of getting rid of the gas.
Natural gas, when burned (whether in a flare, or to fuel a household oven), typically emits just half the planet-warming greenhouse gases that coal does. But by flaring off natural gas, rather than capturing it for use, companies are creating pollution without creating usable energy.
Many companies do directly drill for and capture natural gas for use. But researchers have warned that drilling for the gas also causes sizable leaks of methane directly into the atmosphere, which is even more damaging for the climate than flaring the gas. Methane can also escape faulty flares, and companies sometimes also deliberately release the gas from wells and pipelines in a practice known as venting.
Governors (since federal is up for murder charges, but has not been convicted yet) have to go solar wind, hydro, two way charging of electric cars and two way grid, climate change is raging, insulate your buildings, reduce plastic use, reuse, go second hand
utility companies get on board, simplify be transparent about
community solar (go local) and wind and small hydro.

Methane unburned is a 30 times better blanket to warm the earth than CO2.
