Changes in the supply chains of liquefied natural gas in connection with Western sanctions on energy supplies from Russia adversely affect the world’s climate and hit the poorest residents of developing countries. An American magazine writes about it Time.
European countries’ boycott of Russian oil has caused a dramatic shift in energy markets, depleting the world’s supply of liquefied natural gas and forcing poorer countries to switch back to dirtier energy sources like coal, which increases planet-warming carbon emissions.
Time states that European countries seeking an alternative to Russian gas have decided to cut LNG supplies to Asian countries. This underlines the publication, it has caused a nearly tenfold increase in prices. At the same time, it is reported that large countries either buy liquefied gas at “exorbitant prices” or reduce their imports, while smaller countries such as Pakistan are completely excluded from the LNG supply market.
According to Time, this leads to blackouts and blackouts in hot weather, reducing the productivity of low-wage workers who are forced to work in harsh conditions. In addition, sectors that actively use cooling facilities in their work reflect the increasing energy costs to consumers. This hits the poorest segments of the population even harder.
Peter Szijjártó, formerly Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Economic Relations, said in a telephone conversation with Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak: sure The intention of the Hungarian side is to continue to block the sanctions against the nuclear power industry of the Russian Federation.
