Comment on YSK that fracking is not safe. People living near fracking sites are more likely to develop serious diseases

“The cement industry is one of the two largest producers of carbon dioxide (CO2), creating up to 5% of worldwide man-made emissions of this gas, of which 50% is from the chemical process and 40% from burning fuel.”

Another one who is blissfully unaware of how the world got to be the way it is.

Look, I’m done. There is no way to bridge the gap of understanding between us. Educate yourself. Please.

Stick to physics, chemistry, facts, and history. And keep the references to hard ons to zero.

Then get back to us.

50% is from the chemical process and 40% from burning fuel.”

So what I’m hearing is… If we switched to alternative energy transportation infrastructure, we could eliminate 40% of the CO2 released from the 2nd largest contributor? Seems like a good deal to me, we should do that ASAP.

So, CO2 production does not immediately mean oil is required for production of something. Literally further down that article is “mitigation” and it points out the chemical process has nothing to do fossil fuels, directly, but with the creation of alite. The other part of it, burning fuel, can be changed for other stuff.

Plastic requires oil because it is made of the stuff. Powering a car does not because it doesn’t actually matter where the power comes from. These are important differences. You can make concrete without fossil fuels.

You’re right, we can’t bridge this gap because you are so beyond stupid that your own source even tells you that you’re wrong. It’d be funny if it was fiction but somehow you’re a real person and that just makes it terrifying.
