The early data shocked Wofsy & his team: The oaks and maples and scattered conifers around the tower were absorbing roughly 2 tons of carbon per hectare per year. The data proved that Harvard Forest—16 square kilometers in central Massachusetts where farms and pastures had been abandoned in the 19th century—was not yet at steady state

Progress on climate change requires hard choices — keep a forest standing or clear it for a solar farm

AI Is Pushing Climate Goals Out of Reach, New Reports Say

Without a big increase in investment in renewable energy globally, humanity will not limit global temperature rise to 2 degrees Celsius, but much of the data center boom is powered by fossil fuels

Climate activists paint 'tax me' on coal ship in Newcastle

The environmental group Rising Tide said the chalk-based missive is meant to be a call on the federal government to introduce a 78% fossil fuel export profits tax, with the funds generated used to back the community and industrial transition away from fuels such as coal

🌡️ UN chief: We're cooked

｢ The 2015 Paris climate accords aimed to limit global warming to well below 2C above pre-industrial (1850-1900) levels – and 1.5C if possible. Guterres said the latest national pledges to slash carbon emissions come nowhere near meeting the 1.5C target ｣

Step 1: Recognize that it is impossible to become a billionaire without a failure of morality and an abrogation of one's responsibility towards basic human rights.
Step 2: Realize that when a person has once declared that money is more important than morals, they are likely to do so again.
Step 3: Be unsurprised when Bill Gates abandons any commitment to ensuring the continued health of the planet and declares that the climate change crisis is overblown.

There are no good billionaires, people. There are only the ones who are aligned with humanity for as long as it suits their immediate interests, and that never, ever lasts long.

Just four Global North countries, the United States, Canada, Australia, and Norway, are overwhelmingly responsible for blocking global progress on phasing out oil and gas production, according to new analysis from Oil Change International titled Planet Wreckers:

Brazilian Researchers Warn Against Commodification Of Climate Agenda

Dust, mud, accident risks, tailings dam failures, and internal conflicts are among the impacts of mining in Rio Preto. According to the researchers, this suggests that the energy transition may be used merely as a cover for mining companies to continue perpetuating practices that harm nature, disrupt socio-environmental relations, and deepen inequalities

@evan Mr Gates is neither a philanthropist nor a climate scientist. He's always been a businessman, with a significant stake in tech biz. Every supposed "good work" he does benefits himself personally.

Framing this as a national choice between climate change mitigation and social justice is self serving nonsense, no doubt designed to distract from the fact AI contributes significantly to #Climate change.

From 2040 onwards the average year for marine ecosystems is likely to be more extreme than the worst years experienced up until 2015, researchers say

marine species were already shifting towards the poles, seeking out cooler waters at an average of 59km per decade at current rates of warming. Some species were moving faster, such as kingfish in eastern Australia, which were shifting up to 102km every 10 years
