In an era in which there is only conflict, hot and cold wars, the burden of superpowers and the burden of owning and developing an arsenal of destructive nuclear weapons, and a reality in which accumulations are contradictory and crises mount, confirming the horrific devastation Because of climate change, where temperatures, rainfall, winds and other factors have varied over the decades, the world has seen unprecedented rapid growth due to human activities and the burning of fossil fuels that generate greenhouse gas emissions that the United Nations has reported. has warned. Do they make false accusations about the climate and today they are back on fossil fuels?
Let’s start with what he said after this introduction: “The Executive Director of the International Energy Agency, Fatih Birol, has warned European countries that they should be immediately alerted to the prospect of Russia halting all natural gas exports to the continent this winter. Must be ready.” He discussed the contradiction between the energy crisis and the climate crisis, while excluding both, as published on the pages of the newspaper.
From here we wonder, what will happen to Europe if Russia shuts down gas permanently? And the economy of Europe as a whole is threatened by Russia’s gas if it shuts down. There is no doubt that the ability of European countries to replenish gas stocks is very difficult in preparation for winter, especially when “Gazprom” began reducing gas supplies to some European countries, and increasing prices in the UK and the rest of the EU.
Of course, it is clear that the key to understanding the true meaning of these ongoing changes began with the lack of supplies and the accusation against Russia of using natural gas as a weapon in the conflict with Europe, as it was said, And it pressures the United States and Britain to end European reliance on energy imports from Russia, although the Russian company’s supply of gas has been suspended to some countries that have contracted to supply volumes of gas. Not done, and they don’t mind if the payment is in rubles. As for reducing supplies to other countries, it depends on the number of importing companies that have opened accounts in Russian currency with Gazprom Bank for this purpose.
In the event that natural gas supplies from Russia are cut off, some industries that rely on gas, such as steel plants, will begin to reduce or even close their production, and European countries will have to increase their reliance on coal. Which is the biggest polluter of the environment. With their high carbon emissions, and depend on fossil combustion materials. On carbon compounds when carbon is burned with oxygen gas, it causes high temperatures in addition to the emission of carbon dioxide and other chemicals, and Germany still declares that it has decided regardless of the consequences and damages. Without it, maintain our target of distributing coal by 2030.
We, then, are not about a bourgeois international community working to mature the conflict, addressing a global situation and a dire crisis, which saves its entire history to win its wars, But today it extends to the effects of the Ukrainian war and goes well beyond the deepening of the crisis. In the event of the crisis continuing into the winter season and filling its reserves of natural gas.
May we hear again the voices and demands of the United Nations, which warns of the climate “catastrophe” demanded by developing countries and moves swiftly to address the dangers of global warming, which is primarily fueled by fossil fuels. And greenhouse gas emissions are caused by burning in sequence. Melting glaciers and sea level rise in the near future to avoid further waves of temperature rise? Or will his rhetoric about climate and future plans change its direction? Note that Germany has decided to maintain its target, and it will not deliver with coal until 2030 due to the “gas crisis” resulting from Western sanctions against Russia.
The danger of the phase the world is heading towards is reflected in the emergence of major contradictions, the exploitation of loopholes, competition based on interests, and the constant threat of nuclear weapons, all of which in turn lead to disasters.
