Why Landfill Gas Capture Is the Fastest Lever the World Has Against Near-Term Warming
Every COP climate summit produces a fresh wave of headlines about carbon dioxide targets, net-zero dates, and energy transition pledges. Buried further down the agenda, but arguably far more urgent for the next two decades, sits a much quieter commitment: the Global Methane Pledge, launched at COP26 in Glasgow in 2021 and now backed by well over 150 countries and the European Commission. Its core aim is simple to state and hard to deliver — cut global methane emissions by at least 30% from 2020 levels by 2030.

Under United States Dome
Where do I begin? As thoughts rush through my mind daily with all the craziness going on in this world. I honestly cannot keep up. I remember in the beginning of 2025 I thought that will never happen, this cannot be allowed, and what is happening? Then all of it became real. Now fast forward more than a year we are closer to being a third world country than not. We are creating wars that should have never been, acting more like the villain than a peaceful country, and let's not forget about all the money that is coming out of us to fix said countries. Here is one of the biggest for me: we have never been more divided as a nation. We were once the strongest country and now we are looked at as the enemy. WTFluff.
