Forests clear-cut as Philippines builds solar projects

The Philippines aims to reach its target of generating 50% of its energy from renewable energy sources by 2040. But small communities in the north are bearing the brunt of extreme heat and flooding caused by the clean energy rush.

Lawyers sue government over emissions, claiming plan misses the mark

A group of lawyers is suing the government over what they say are glaring holes in the country's emissions reduction plan.

So it got me thinking, just how much does two islands in upside down land contribute to global emissions?

According to Stats from 2022.... 0.084%,

Interesting how it presents evidence from the elephant in the room to debunk what it clearly a global warming myth, but does not discuss the impact of the elephant itself: human population growth and expanding urbanisation.

I've always believed that the real threat to the health of the planet is not mean global temperature, which is about the only metric uneffected by it, but human over-population. Every other metric is impacted severely by the over-abundance of humanity, from resource depletion, air and water-born pollution, habitat loss, diminishing bio-diversity and intra/inter zoonotic disease mutation.
Still waiting for that conversation to start.
Human proliferation and the attendent industrial degradation of the planet is the problem, not the cleanliness of otherwise of the energy source which drives that proliferation.
If you cut down a tree the tree still dies, regardless of whether the chainsaw is powered by a petrol engine or a solar panel.
 
Ironically the improvements in health and social welfare mean that an ever increasing number of us are surviving longer, and those who, hundreds of years ago would not have lived to breeding age, now do. Thus evolution by survival of the fittest is becoming a thing of the past and the species as a whole are becoming weaker as a result.
This will only change if technology can't keep up with nature e.g. If we can't find an alternative to antibiotic resistance evolution will, once again get the upper hand.
