Still from CCS: a 2 degree solution, a film by Carbon Visuals for WBCSD available here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RejAjfRkVuc
In this scene we see the quantity of coal we consumed every day 2013.
The film reveals how significant fossil fuel use is today, and will continue to be for decades to come and so makes a case for carbon capture and storage. All the quantities represented in the film are 'real'; the film shows the actual volume and rate of emissions, it is not merely indicative.
The world gets through a lot of fossil fuels:
• 7,896.4 million metric tons of coal in 2013 (21.6 million metric tons per day, 250 metric tons per second)
• 91,330,895 barrels of oil per day in 2013 (168 m3 per second)
• 3,347.63 billion m3 of natural gas in 2013 (9.2 km3 per day, 106,082 m3 per second)
This film tries to make those numbers physically meaningful – to make the quantities ‘real’; more than ‘just numbers’. All the graphics in the film are based on real quantities.
• The coal we use each day would form a pile 236 metres high and 673 metres across. We could fill a volume the size of the UN Secretariat Building with coal every 17 minutes.
• At the rate we use oil, we could fill an Olympic swimming pool every 15 seconds. We could fill a volume the size of the UN Secretariat Building with oil every 30 minutes.
• The rate at which we use natural gas is equivalent to gas travelling along a pipe with an internal diameter of 60 metres at hurricane speeds (135 km/h / 84 mph). We could fill a volume the size of the UN Secretariat Building with natural gas in under 3 seconds. We use a cubic kilometre of gas every 2 hours 37 minutes and a cubic mile of the stuff every 10 hours 54 minutes.
The world’s use of fossil fuels is increasing, not decreasing. Renewable energy will help, but it cannot keep up with the demand for energy. The International Renewable Energy Agency’s most optimistic road-map suggests that renewables will not displace fossil fuels for decades, which is a problem because we are adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere at an increasing rate.
• In 2012 we added over 39 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. That’s 1,237 metric tons a second. It is like a ‘bubble’ of carbon dioxide gas 108 metres across entering the atmosphere every second of every day. We could fill a volume the size of the UN Secretariat Building with our carbon dioxide emissions in less than half a second. We could fill it 133 times a minute. The pile of one metric ton spheres in the film, which represents one day’s emissions, is 3.7 km high (2.3 miles) and 7.4 km across (4.6 miles).
To keep global warming below 2 °C we can afford to emit no more than 1 trillion metric tons of carbon into the atmosphere (3.66 trillion metric tons of carbon dioxide).
2 °C is a significant figure because if warming is more than this ‘positive feedback’ effects will make it increasingly hard to control the temperature. For instance, beyond 2 °C, there will be considerably less ice on Earth. Because it is white, ice reflects energy from the sun back out to space. If the ice goes, more energy from the sun will be absorbed by the Earth.
We have already added more than half the threshold quantity of 1 trillion metric tons of carbon (up to mid-2014, we have emitted about 582 billion metric tons). If carbon dioxide from fossil fuels continues to enter the atmosphere we will reach 2 °C threshold in a few years. The projected emissions illustrated in the film are based on RCP 4.5, which is one of the four ‘Representative Concentration Pathways’ used in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Fifth Assessment Report.
Carbon capture and storage means we can use the energy of fossil fuels without adding carbon to the atmosphere. Because fossil fuels will remain a significant part of the world’s energy economy for decades to come, carbon capture and storage is an essential part of any plan to keep global warming below 2 °C.

It Takes Roots coalition along with allies took action outside of the United States Capitol leading up to the People's Climate March. The "Mother Earth's Redline" action represented multiple "blocks of struggle." From the official event page, "We hold a red line to defend our environment, our homes, our families and our future generations."

After a day indoors, it was nice to get out for an evening walk and it had even warmed up a bit.
Oakland, CA - On October 23rd, ninety-two of the world's largest banks met in São Paulo, Brazil to vote on a policy that upholds Indigenous people's right to Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) to allow or disallow projects on their lands. Local activists and environmental allies protested against three of the banks involved with the financing of dirty fossil fuel projects (like the Dakota Access Pipeline and Keystone XL). The day started off with a prayer circle, followed by three divestment actions at Wells Fargo, Citibank, and JPMorgan Chase. This action was part of a global divestment movement, where over 50 actions were held across the world.

In collaboration with Copenhagen Business School, we organised our second TBLI CONFERENCE NORDIC event, addressing specifically the financial sector in Scandinavia and the UK. The program addressed topics relevant for investors and finance professionals striving to better align profits with impact - with a view across all asset classes.
This event marked the 30th TBLI CONFERENCE held since 1998.
I like this image on several levels, but the primary purpose here is to highlight our interaction with energy. The energy of the sun, which is warm and soothing, and that of the fossil fuels, which is represented by the oil tanker on the far left. Turning our backs to either source may not be an option during our lifetime.

A Department of Mineral Resources geologist inspects a seam of about 30 feet thickness at Westside opencast near Wallsend on Lake Macquarie, New South Wales, Australia.
The Awabakal nation, whose country is just south of Newcastle, had named the area around Lake Macquarie Nikkin-bah – place of coal. Aborigines had been known to use coal for cooking food in many parts of NSW.
William Bryant, a convict escaping to Timor, was the first European to find coal near Newcastle in 1791. Six years later Lieutenant John Shortland, while searching for more escaped convicts, discovered measures of ‘very good’ coal at the mouth of the Hunter River. The coal, exposed at low tide and easily worked, was shipped to Sydney for local sale and, in what is probably Australia’s first export, for shipment to Bengal, in India. In 1804, Governor King established a particularly harsh penal colony for recalcitrant convicts to mine the coal.
Initial uses were for domestic heating and for small steam and gas plants. By 1814 a surplus of coal eventually led to an export of 154 tons, also to Bengal, which was paid for with rum. Convict labour was eventually superseded by private companies such as the Australian Agricultural Company (1824). Up to 1828 about 50,000 tons was mined but with the introduction of private companies and mechanisation coal production increased to 368,000 tons in 1860, one million tons in 1872 and over 10 Mt (millions of tonnes) by 1920.
NSW has (2008) recoverable coal reserves totalling an enormous 12 billion tonnes within 60 operating mines and colliery holdings and more than 30 major development proposals.
The Louisiana Responder uses a boom to collect oil from the surface on May 14, 2016 to clean up oil that leaked from a flow line at one of Shell's drilling sites about 90 miles off the Louisiana coast in the Gulf of Mexico. The company says about 88,200 gallons of oil leaked from the line. The company says the skimmers will pick up what oil they can from the Gulf's surface. Photo by Derick E. Hingle/Greenpeace

Carbon dioxide gas at 15 °C and standard pressure has a density of 1.87 kg/m3. Which means the volume of one metric ton of carbon dioxide gas is 534.76 m3. The diameter of a one metric ton sphere is 10.071 metres (about 33 feet).

Washington DC, Saturday April 29, 2017. Tens of thousands of climate justice activists gathered near the U.S. Capitol for a march to the White House. The very large group circled the White House and staged a brief symbolic 'sit in'. Shamed, President Donald J. Trump escaped to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania for yet another campaign style rally with the suckers who voted for him.

From the toxic waste created by the extreme extraction of tar sands destroying indigenous communities in Canada, to toxins created by the BP Whiting refinery producing sacrifice communities in the Greater Chicago area, to the resultant catastrophic effect on our climate, the urgent need for a just transition away from fossil fuels to a 100% renewable energy economy is abundantly clear.

Activists from BP or Not BP stage an oily cashmob inside the British Museum in protest at the oil giant BP's sponsorship of the museum. Playing a spoof gameshow & leafleting museum visitors they highlighted the huge handouts of taxpayer money received by BP, and it's use of sponsorship of museums and galleries to "greenwash" the company role as fossil fuel polluter and contributor to climate change.

Camp Frack mobilised over 100 climate activists and local residents against plans by Cuadrilla Resources to drill for shale gas in Lancashire, UK.
"Camp Frack", named after "fracking", the process of pumping vast quantities of water underground and fracturing rocks with chemicals to release shale gas, set up outside the Lancashire village of Banks, close to a drilling rig that Cuadrilla Resources is using to drill up to 3.5km deep.
Environmentalists have argued that the "fracking" process is inherently risky. In the US, where shale gas is being hailed by industry as a potential substitute for oil, fears have been raised about the effect of the chemicals used, explosions, links with seismic activity and allegations of illness. A Cornell University study also concluded that greenhouse gas emissions from shale gas are higher than those for coal.

West Virginians brought together by Greenpeace USA, Race Matters West Virginia, Young West Virginia, Rise Up West Virginia, Black By God West Virginia, Call to Action for Racial Equality West Virginia, and CPD Action joined forces on land and sea around Joe Manchin’s yacht to demand that he support much-needed investments into healthcare, climate action, and jobs in the Build Back Better Act.
An oil tanker headed to Chevron’s Richmond refinery crossed the United Steelworkers (USW) Local 5 picket line in the San Francisco Bay. Two boats with activists from Greenpeace USA and USW workers sailed in solidarity with the nearly 500 workers from Chevron’s Richmond refinery who have been on strike as they fight for a new labor contract from Chevron’s leadership. The boats expanded the picket line from the land into the water.
