Liming Can Help Enhance Carbon Capture in Agricultural Fields Yale School of the Environment scientists find that the common mineral can promote harvests and help fight climate change.

While the loss from U.S. federal service of so many brilliant scientists + other talented climate professionals has been maddening to witness, we at Yale are pleased + lucky to have Gabby join us to lead mCDR initiatives. Thank you to Builders Initiative for the support 🙏🙏🙏

A Closer Look at Pope Francis’ Favorite Painting Caravaggio was an artist of rare directness, whose naturalistic pictures brought the heavens down to earth. Our critic Jason Farago shows you what Francis may have seen in them.

Barry Benepe, Who Gave New York Its Greenmarkets, Dies at 96 He brought farm-grown produce to the city’s streets, creating the largest network of farmers’ markets in the country and helping to revive neighborhoods.

Today we mourn the loss of one of our founders, Barry Benepe, and we celebrate his legacy:

"In 1966, he helped organize a protest to close Central Park to automobile traffic on Sundays in the summer."

52 years later, the park went car-free every day, all year long.

There was likely an opportunity to get a somewhat more scientific assessment of the measurement situation.

Yale-related nonprofit wins global carbon removal prize A non-profit organization building on research from Yale’s Noah Planavsky has won the $50 million grand prize from the XPRIZE Carbon Removal international competition.

🏆🏆🏆 Huge congratulations to Mati for winning the $50M @xprize.org. Mati partners with smallholder farmers in the Global South to deliver durable CDR with significant agronomic cobenefits via an enhanced weathering approach based in part on @yalecncc.bsky.social research news.yale.edu/2025/04/23/y...

Transforming US agriculture for carbon removal with enhanced weathering - Nature A state-level analysis of the impact of enhanced weathering deployment on carbon sequestration on agricultural land suggests that enhanced weathering could help the USA meet net-zero 2050 goals.

"Finally, we emphasize that efforts to remove atmospheric carbon by means of any CDR technology will ultimately be futile for addressing the climate crisis without urgent and drastic emissions reductions and a transition to clean energy." 🧪
