We are on a highway to hell 2023: “Although demand for [methane] gas remained flat, consumption of crude oil broke through the 100 million barrels per day level for the first time ever and coal demand beat the previous year’s record level.” #FossilFuels #ClimateCrisis 1/2

techxplore.com/news/2024-07... Bonkers. Still lab scale, but a team has created an anode free, solid state, sodium battery. It's basically just sodium and an aluminum (some powdered) current collector. Huge theoretical potential for abundance, fast charging, high density.

1. Ireland was once c. 80% rich, native forest 2. It's now c. 1% 3. Most of that 1% is dying due to overgrazing 4. The invasive alien species most responsible IME are either protected (sika deer), or there's a campaign to make them so (feral goats) I *really* despair at times. 🌎

Bringing lynx home to Ireland wouldn't just help revive ailing ecosystems. Sharing the land again with this exquisite cat would add a spark of frisson to our own lives, expanding our imaginative universe into new realms. Let's do this. #Rewilding 🌍

In this #EnROADS simulation we took action across the entire system and managed to keep temperatures just below 2ºC Whichever way we sliced this, breaching 1.5ºC was unavoidable. (1.65ºC by 2040) This is the world we must prepare for. Scenario here en-roads.climateinteractive.org/scenario.htm...

Carbon footprints among different income deciles in Germany are pretty similar.... until you look at transport. Once again, a very strong argument for a frequent fliers tax. www.diw.de/documents/pu...

This Bloomberg article notes that this large ongoing methane leak in Thailand is visible from space and likely due to improperly combusting flares. Also, "Methane releases at the platform aren’t the result of leaks and the facility remains safe for operations." Just business as usual.
Big Oil’s Pledge to Curb Methane Faces Test in Gulf of Thailandwww.bloomberg.com The UN’s IMEO has made a new request to two energy producers to halt emissions from a site that’s been observed releasing the greenhouse gas since 2013

We are poised to make the same mistakes with carbon capture storage that we made with fracking. Did you know they are passing laws in states to exempt oil and gas companies from future liability for injected CO2?

The ever brilliant Simon Clark has put together a U.K. election special looking at what Labour, Conservatives, Lib Dems, Reform UK, and other major political parties say about climate policy. He provides a handy rating for each party and recommendations for which party to vote for.

Wrapped around an oak in the woods, a Gordian knot of ivy stems, in turn carpeted in mosses + polypody fern. This is an Irish rainforest. 🌎

Now, an old stone wall is just bare rock. But with sheep gone, wild native trees are sprouting all around. As they close in, raising humidity levels, a great diversity of mosses, ferns, etc, will race to colonise. Nothing beats witnessing a rainforest ecosystem form. 🌎

Well done Dorset Council (UK)! Buying a dairy farm for reforesting or rewilding is the way to go! It will cut down on water pollution, air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions and other climate impacts, biodiversity loss, water use - & improve human health! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It’s sort of like this 1️⃣ Where do I want to go? 2️⃣ Is the trip time reasonable? 3️⃣ Is there an option when I want to go? 4️⃣ Is there a direct train I can take? I’m aware that *for some types of travellers* direct connections matter more than others. But it’s just one of many […]

A tiny, rare fragment of wild native habitat around a rushing river at Puleen, Beara. These places exist only because they're inaccessible to sheep + other grazers. We *know* what's required for nature to return. #Rewilding 🌎

I've written a lot about abandoned oil and gas wells and how the industry is setting up to walk away from its responsibility to pay to clean up that mess. We would be in the dark about a lot of this without the excellent work from CarbonTracker. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDms...
