  • Acceptance Remarks (249 Words)
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 16, 2021 2021 BLUE PLANET PRIZE: ANNOUNCEMENT OF PRIZE WINNERS This year marks the 30th awarding of the Blue Planet Prize, the international environmental award sponsored by the Asahi Glass Foundation, chaired by Takuya Shimamura. Every year, the Foundation selects two winners, individuals or organizations who have made significant contributions to the resolution of global environmental problems. The Board of Directors have selected the following 2021 Blue Planet Prize recipients. 1. Prof. Veerabhadran Ramanathan (USA) Born in India, Date of Birth: 24 November, 1944 Edward A. Frieman Endowed Presidential Chair in Climate Sustainability Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego Professor Ramanathan has spent decades investigating the climate effects of non-CO2 pollutants, including the role of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs): methane, tropospheric ozone, halocarbons (HFCs*1), and black carbon*2. His contributions include the discovery of the super greenhouse effect of halocarbons (CFCs*3), and clarifying the climate effects of black carbon through an international field project he led on Atmospheric Brown Clouds (ABCs). He showed that reductions in SLCPs can rapidly reduce warming and significantly improve air pollution. He later took the initiative in global actions to reduce SLCPs. *1 Hydrofuorocarbons (CFC alternatives), no ozone depletion potential but much greater global warming potential than CO2. *2 Commonly known as soot; formed through the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, biofuel, and biomass. *3 Chlorofluorocarbons, large ozone depletion potential and much greater global warming potential than CO2. 2. Prof. Mohan Munasinghe (Sri Lanka) Born in Sri Lanka, Date of Birth: 25 July, 1945 Founder Chairman, Munasinghe Institute for Development (MIND) Professor Munasinghe pioneered the integrative, transdisciplinary ‘Sustainomics’ framework which views development issues from environmental, social, and economic perspectives.

They’re playing defense with verve and creativity—blocking ugly and destructive projects that wreck landscapes and lives. And defense is crucial. As generations of sports coaches have delighted in pointing out, defense wins games. But we’re very far behind in the global warming game, so we need some offense too. And here’s what offense looks like: going directly after the fossil fuel industry and holding it accountable for the rapid warming of the planet. It’s the richest and most arrogant industry the world has ever seen. Call it Powersandprincipalities, Inc. And where once it served a real social need—energy— it now stands squarely in the way of getting that energy from safe, renewable sources. Its business plan—sell more coal, gas and oil—is at odds with what every climate scientist now says is needed for planetary survival. If that sounds shocking, sorry: a lifetime of Exxon ads haven’t prepared us for the reality that Exxon is a first-class villain, any more than a lifetime of looking at the Marlboro Man prepared us to understand lung cancer.

  • Scientists Plan to Bury CO2 in Kern County Power Plant Aims to Avoid Smokestack, Release Into Air
    Scientists plan to bury CO2 in Kern County Power plant aims to avoid smokestack, release into air. By Mark Grossi / The Fresno Bee Sunday, May 11, 2008 Scientists plan to pump 1 million tons of greenhouse gas more than a mile beneath a Kern County power plant in one of the nation's largest experiments to slow global warming. The power plant's exhaust will go directly into a 7,000-foot-deep well. No climate-warming carbon dioxide or anything else will get into the air. There won't be a smokestack. It's a "double positive" because it will prevent the release of both greenhouse gas and ozone- making pollution, said James Boyd, vice chairman of the California Energy Commission, which is leading the experiment. "This is extremely relevant in the San Joaquin Valley, where air quality is such a big issue," he said. The four-year experiment, scheduled to begin in 2011, received a $65 million Department of Energy grant last week. Federal officials have funded a half-dozen such efforts nationally to capture carbon dioxide and trap it below ground. The Kern project, 18 miles north of Bakersfield, attracted federal money partly because it involves a power plant that uses aerospace technology to produce electricity and very little air pollution. The power plant is privately owned by Clean Energy Systems Inc. of Rancho Cordova. But geology is the main reason to pour money into this project. Nature has demonstrated over millions of years that oil and natural gas stay put in the rock formations below the Valley floor.
