GTFO: The Recession Is Good For The Climate?
Here’s your GTFO MOMENT of the day:
According to a recent report published by New Scientist, the economic downturn may be doing good work for the climate. Before you call bullshiz on it, check out some of the connections the report, released by the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency, has found:
- CO2 emissions have grown at a slower rate this year than in recent years as “fossil fuel consumption decreased globally for the first time since 1992″
- Biofuels counted for 2.5 percent of global fuel consumption this year, as developing nations start to embrace them.
Definitely provides some food for thought.
