Climate change is very close to moving past a point of no return, accelerating under its own momentum no matter what humans do.
It is already devastating millions of people, especially low-wealth communities who are least responsible for causing it. NC WARN tackles this crisis by vigorously pressing Duke Energy to join — or at least stop impeding — the clean energy revolution. Because North Carolina deserves better than pollution and cronyism.
All of the above is a lie and fraud. Nothing but a PR stunt.
This Op ED has been forwarded to dozens of news outlets, and published by about a dozen.
Another example of advocacy journalism by the left, to advance their agenda - communism.
You know who pic here
Duke Energy must curb its use of methane. It’s fueling hurricanes.
And they posted the advocacy op ed from Warren with nary a change.
PEGGED my BS meter!
PEGGED my BS meter!
Idiot didn’t even bother to re-write his fake news when the ‘devastating hurricane’ turned out to be a 1 instead of the 5 that the Goreites were praying to Satan for?
They walk among us. Kinda scary, isn’t it??? To believe such a load of horse manure after 40 years of laughably wrong predictions.
Florence was a category ONE hurricane...
*****
The latest in a string of monster storms of recent years, Hurricane Florence punctuates the fact that the cost of climate pollution is accelerating.
WHAT?? No LGBTQs? How exclusionary and bigoted of NC WARN! The entire editorial staff should resign. And go drown themselves in the flood waters of Florence.
Consensus is NOT scientific conclusion or proof of anything.
Pure Bravo Sierra.

Well, they certainly “fueled” the argument by keeping liberals from freezing to death. I wonder if there’s some kind of AI electric meter that can divine your political leanings.
They also forgot to condemn the swamps and cattle.
These people are insane
Thank you, I'll be here all week.
As hurricanes go Florence was a minor burp. High pressure systems prevented to from taking its natural northeasterly course.
Article is all BS.
Let’s see, seems every type of electrical power generation other than wind and solar is evil.
What we need to see is a video/pictures of what a solar panel farm would look like to supply the energy for a large city, the backup generation, storage, etc.
Effects on the environment, flora and fauna of the wind turbines sq miles of panels, heat islands they would create.
It only floods where the Army Corp of Engineers has provided their services.
Hate to tell these folks that we don’t vent methane. While we might have an occasional leak from time to time we go to great extremes to contain it. Methane is money! From the well, through the separator, through the treater and even what little goes into the tanks is contained. Most goes from the separator directly into the meter line. What we see as flares burning is being vented but it;s also burning to remove any methane escaping. What they’re not saying in the story is the earth burps and farts methane at an enormous rate whether it’s venting from the soil or bubbling up from the sea floor. Every lake in the US is a producer of methane. One of the largest producers of methane comes from landfills and every town in the US has at least one and some have several. Vent pipes have to be installed to keep pressures from building up and they don’t flare those due to the risk of setting other escaping gasses on fire.
How was Florence a “monster storm?”. It was a Cat 1.
Considering all the inputs, it’s doubtful that current “green” energy equipment ever generates enough lifetime energy to offset that used in their manufacturing.
