Imfuyo ingcolisa ngaphezu kwezimoto
Ukukhishwa kwegesi yokushisa okuvela ezilwaneni zasemapulazini (izinkomo, izingulube, njll.) Kuphakeme kunazo zonke izimoto ezise-EU. Lokhu kubikwa yiphephandaba laseBrithani iThe Guardian uma kukhulunywa ngombiko omusha wenhlangano yezemvelo iGreenpeace. Kuvela ukuthi uma wonke umuntu wase-Europe eshintshela ezimotweni zikagesi, kuncane okuzoshintsha emvelweni ngaphandle kokuthi kuthathwe izinyathelo zokunciphisa izinombolo zemfuyo.
Ngokusho kweNhlangano Yezokudla Nezolimo yeNhlangano Yezizwe Ezihlangene ngo-2018, ukufuywa kwemfuyo e-EU (kuhlanganise ne-UK) kukhipha amathani acishe abe yizigidi ezingama-502 wamagesi abamba ukushisa ngonyaka - ikakhulukazi i-methane. Uma kuqhathaniswa, izimoto zikhipha amathani angaba yizigidi ezingu-656 esikhutha. Uma sibala ukukhishwa kwegesi ebamba ukushisa engaqondile futhi sicabangele ukuthi ingakanani igesi ekhishwayo ngenxa yokukhula nokukhiqiza ukudla, ukugawulwa kwamahlathi nezinye izinto, khona-ke isamba esiphuma ekukhiqizeni imfuyo siyoba amathani ayizigidi ezingu-704.
Lo mbiko uphinde uveze ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kwenyama kukhuphuke ngo-9,5% kusuka ngo-2007 kuya ku-2018, okuholele ekutheni kukhuphuke amaphesenti ama-6%. Kufana nokwethula izimoto ezintsha zikaphethroli ezintsha eziyi-8,4 million. Uma lokhu kukhula kuqhubeka, amathuba okuthi i-EU ihlangabezane nezibophezelo zayo zokunciphisa ukukhishwa kwamagesi abamba ukushisa ngaphansi kwesivumelwano saseParis izokwehla kakhulu.
“Ubufakazi besayensi bucace bha. Izinombolo zisitshela ukuthi ngeke sikwazi ukugwema isimo sezulu esibi uma osopolitiki beqhubeka nokuvikela ukukhiqizwa kwezimboni kwenyama nobisi. Izilwane zasepulazini ngeke ziyeke ukuphuphuma nokubhodla. Okuwukuphela kwendlela yokwehlisa umoya okhishwa yigesi ezingeni elidingekayo ukunciphisa isibalo semfuyo,” kusho uMarco Contiero, ophethe inqubomgomo yezolimo kwaGreenpeace.
