Why Regenerative Agriculture (Still) Isn’t a Climate Solution Regenerative meat — though popular with celebrities and politicians — doesn’t live up to the hype.

When it comes to regenerative agriculture, “We’re finding that the results of real field trials, replicated at scale, aren’t producing the results we see in the movies.” - Jon Foley, @globalecoguy.bsky.social @sentientmedia.org

Alternative Proteins May Be Our Best Bet to Curb Food Emissions New research argues tackling food-related climate emissions is more urgent than you think.

“If you want to reduce climate change in the short term, it’s really important for us to focus on short-lived climate pollutants, which include methane. It’s also important for us to focus on protecting natural ecosystems,” - Emily Cassidy, PD Fellow @enviroem.bsky.social @sentientmedia.org

Who Pays the Price for Nuclear’s Clean Energy Promise? | Atmos Nuclear has been promoted as a climate solution for an energy-hungry society. But is it as clean as advocates say?

“I’m not really convinced that nuclear is going to be the big savior for climate change that some people would advocate,” said @globalecoguy.bsky.social for @atmosmag.bsky.social

Solar becomes top source of electricity in California Over the past 12 months, solar power has become California’s largest source of electricity, a trend likely to continue.

Solar is top electricity source in CA ☀️ "Data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) ... shows that in the 12 months ending April 2025, solar generated 83.1 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity, compared to 81.6 TWh from natural gas." pv-magazine-usa.com/2025/07/09/s...

Climate solutions are solutions because they are better, faster, cheaper, and make life better than it is now. Governments can slow this down but ultimately can’t contain it! ⚡️

#GoodNews: Solar power is booming in Pakistan. Its share of electricity generation more than tripled in just three years, climbing from four percent in 2021 to 14 percent in 2024 — one of the highest percentages in Asia. e360.yale.edu/features/pak...

Around the world other countries continue to invest in climate solutions and are seeing the results. Globally and in the US, cities, states, municipalities as well as philanthropies, investors and businesses are also a huge force for change. 💪🌱

@globalecoguy.bsky.social reminds us it’s not game over, it’s game on.

Would it be inconvenient if your electricity provider switched over to solar for example? You likely wouldn’t notice! 💡

Fighting climate change doesn’t have to be inconvenient. Let’s change the narrative from sacrifice and inconvenience to health and abundance. That’s the goal after all!

Globally representative evidence on the actual and perceived support for climate action - Nature Climate Change Global support and cooperation are necessary for successful climate action. Large-scale representative survey results show that most of the population around the world is willing to support climate ac...

Plus! “69% of the global population expresses a willingness to contribute 1% of their personal income”.

In today’s economy, that’s not nothing! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Important to remember that fighting climate change doesn’t have to be inconvenient, even in the short term. The narrative that it automatically means sacrifice of some kind only feeds into the do-nothing mindset.

Agree, That is a huge issue. If it’s a challenge to breakthrough within your group, using other avenues like health, inflation, insurance, even sports.. can be a more relatable way to enter the convo.

Finally, a Way to Invest in the World We Are All Building in a 401(k) For years, I’ve spent my time and energy thinking about how to commercialize technology and deploy them at scale. Most of my work was focused on entrepreneurs “doing well by doing good.

Year over year, we are continually pleased with our decision to work with Carbon Collective. Their climate-positive 401(k) plans have been a win for our employees. 💰🌲 But don't just take our word, @jigarshahdc.bsky.social shares his thoughts below:
