Liquefied petroleum gas from the United States - and what about climate change?

[matrixmann]

Any party going through with either their plans or already having banned imports of Russian oil and gas and replacing it with liquefied petroleum gas from the US - offically call their agenda to "fight climate change" broke and dishonest (if it ever even officially existed at all).
Because transporting LPG with tankers over half of the globe, burning fuel to deliver fuel, there's nothing more harmful to the world climate than this in this aspect of the economy and regarding general supply with common contemporary energy carriers.
Not even talking about needing to make the energy-intensive efforts to first liquefy the gas to transport it and then turn it into gas again, sacrificing additional amounts of energy, when it's reached its destination. And the terminals that have to be specifically created and built in order to execute both jobs.

Not that the world has ever shown true concern for tackling climate change, but replacing Russian methane with methane shipped from elsewhere in the world is definitely not helping.

And if your concern was a matter of foreign policy, being dependent on Russia for your energy, now you're dependent on somebody else instead. Not sure that is helping either.

The transporting of goods around the world is more about urbanization, industrialization, and power maximization -- we've cut ourselves off from the natural rhythms of mammalian survival, hunting and gathering from what is available to us nearby. Instead each person treats the entire world as fair game for his or her needs and desires.

I've thought a couple of times already, seeing the supply chains for fossil fuels changing to such unlogical and even more harmful to the environment structures, just because of political reasons - Greta Thuberg actually must be hopping mad. If she really meant her commitment to the climate issue honestly.

This is all so fucking illogical and like "we knew, you didn't want to do anything about climate change anyway - but now you even want to push it hard voluntarily!"...
As they say here "reality and satire are more and more harder to distinguish from each other".
