Yet a study by Cambridge Econometrics comparing dependence on gas to large scale investment in offshore wind, found that looking forward to 2025, taking the wind option would create 100,000 more jobs and bring broader economic benefits, not to mention being more climate friendly.
Although the C substitution in products is uncertain, the existing case studies using life cycle assessment [14, 17] agree with our finding that material use prior to energy use is more climate-friendly than dedicated bioenergy [17].

In addition, under the current Farm Bill, organic farmers have to pay a 5percentt surcharge on insurance policies for some crops, and are only reimbursed at conventional prices, despite evidence that these sustainable operations are more climate-friendly and more resilient when faced with climate-related disasters.

Even with the substantial reduction of methane from ruminant respiration during the feedlot period, there are still more climate friendly ways to gain protein.
A new report on creating a sustainable "cold chain" in the developing world estimates that about 25-50% of food wastage (PDF) could be eliminated with better, more climate friendly refrigeration.
We showed that in the case of Thuringia, a re-use rate of 80% is sufficient to make product use more climate friendly than direct energy use of harvested wood.
Policymakers, meanwhile, are debating what kind of policies could ensure that shale gas is a more climate-friendly fuel.
This is so because, while short urban car trips compete with generally more climate friendly public transport, long-haul interurban car trips in Norway compete primarily with the air mode.
