I think they're covering scope 1 and 2 emissions, but not scope 3. That is to say that they're trying to limit emissions during extraction, transportation of fossil fuels, and refining (and from the electricity those use) but not from when the fossil fuels are burned.

You could, for example, cap total importation & extraction at a national or regional level, and lower that cap each year.

It basically says that we need to impose restrictions on both extraction and any kind of commitment to burning.

Can't speak for the upthread poster, but I keep a portable 20w solar panel around to charge my cell phone and satellite transponder in emergencies.

The move they're making is to claim that Democrats control the weather and inflict storms like this on people. It's bullshit, like most of their other claims, and really reeks of desperation.

Yeah, hearing similar things from others; it takes a really long time to fix the utilities when the roads are washed out all over the place, and need to be repaired to even bring heavy equipment in to many locations.

I think we're in agreement, just using terms in slightly different ways.

They've had the opportunity to use the 25th before and not done so

They don't capture all the emitted CO2, so it's a reduction.

Yeah, the ad dollars all went to Facebook and Instagram, since they're better-able to deliver the kind of targeting that advertisers want, so most local news stopped being financially viable.

I believe it's about shoveling money to the oil companies and providing a bit of cover for building a new gas-burning power plant

Yeah, the ice is thinner, and very likely weaker for a given thickness, so the old rules of thumb about 10cm of ice being enough may not hold.

Yeah, adding the CCS makes the whole thing as expensive as nuclear.
