Activists have criticized leaders' decision to support
construction of new liquefied natural gas infrastructure,
facilitating the use of a planet-warming fossil fuel.
The G7 said that "investment in the sector can be appropriate in
response to the current crisis and to address potential gas
market shortfalls provoked" by Russia's attack on Ukraine.
In the exceptional circumstance
of accelerating the phase-out of our
dependency on Russian energy, publicly
supported investment in the gas sector
can be appropriate as a temporary response, G7 statement, via NBC.
According to Greenpeace's Tracy Carty,
support for new infrastructure for fossil fuel
"is a blunt denial of the climate emergency.".
Fossil gas is one of the most polluting
forms of energy and in its liquefied form,
its carbon emissions can be as bad as coal, Tracy Carty, Greenpeace representative, via NBC.
Meanwhile, Friederike Roeder of the campaign
group Global Citizen suggests that Germany's role
in the G7 talks were "particularly disappointing.".

gas investments rather than leading
the way for a future free of
fossil fuels, this wonât be possible, Friederike Roeder, Global Citizen representative, via NBC.

Abramowitz went on to say that the

Genuine eclipse glasses will have an , ISO 12312-2 filter. .
NASA suggests people check the American
Astronomical Society's list of safe options
for selecting a brand of eclipse glasses.

eclipse has driven third-party vendors to flood
online marketplaces with fake eclipse glasses. .
People without eclipse glasses can still
view the eclipse with a pinhole projector
which can easily be made at home.
Cut a 1- to 2-inch square out of
the center of a piece of plain
white paper or white cardboard.
Cover the square you just cut out by taping
a piece of aluminum foil over the hole. .
Next, use a pin or thumbtack to
poke a hole in the aluminum foil.
A second piece of paper or cardboard
is used as the screen on which the
image of the eclipse will be projected.
To view: place the screen on the ground and stand with your back to the sun, holding your projector with the foil pointed toward the sky.
Adjust the distance between your projector
and the screen to make the image of
the eclipse appear larger or smaller.
