Cement is the most widely-used substance on Earth after water. When mixed with water, it forms concrete that becomes the backbone of buildings, roads, dams and bridges. — far more than global carbon emissions from aviation. If the cement industry were a country, it would be the third-largest emitter of carbon dioxide in the world, after the U.S. and China.
Limestone contains calcium, the binding agent in cement. But it also contains carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas rapidly warming the planet. When it is superheated inside a kiln to about 2,700 degrees using piles of coal, that process releases tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Regis argues that concrete is a time-tested and reliable building material, and the industry is working to make it cleaner.
Are there any industries these greenies aren't trying to destroy?
Stop
They want us to go back to living like this..
And? We are all OK with it.
Tell this to Pres. Biden who wants to line the ocean floor along our coast with cement to put windmills.
Real news would be fabulous. How about all of the wind farms killing the whales on the east coast? We are not ready for it. It is killing our planet and the life on it. Sonar pulsing is killing the whales painfully. Bleeding from the ears. RealNews
How much carbon do media companies produce?
I thought it said cemetary at first lol
NorahODonnell How bout more reporting on the Pete B's and John Kerry's taking private planes? Why do WE THE PEOPLE have to cut our useage and they dont? Have you cut out fossils Norah?
NorahODonnell This morning they said all the vehicles. Which one is it?
Ban cement! It’s killing us all! Said no one ever.
Cool no cement now...
Plant trees. That will reduce the CO2.
cars, planes, (except for paparazzi and elites) gas stoves, and now concrete... Don't even think about touching my Green Egg...
Oh, ok…back to mud huts and grass roofs then.
The good news is that CO2 has no relation to the temperature of the earth so it doesn’t matter
just go back to sun baked bricks and bitumen
Pretty concrete evidence here.
Lol
Clearly we should build from mud and cut more trees down
the crap in the oceans causing global warming ... dirty water heats up faster and retains heat longer ... they cover 2/3rds of the planet ... it's not rocket science ...
Great, CBS found a new industry to demonize.
DONT CARE , Carbon is not the problem , its this Anti Humanism that is the problem ....
Whoa 😳
Ban cement and tar and asphalt and rubber and plastic.
No more cement or gas stoves! Stick huts for all!
Lmao we going to live in dung huts now
