YouTube video by PBS Terra Wildfires Poison the Soil. This Scientist Has a Way To Heal It

Brand new episode of PBS Terra discussing how wildfires poison our soil by burning the chemical compounds in our homes and our cars and all of it goes directly into the soil.

Worth watching:

US demands EU dismantle green regulations in threat to trade deal Washington wants American companies to be exempted from rules such as having to draw up climate transition plans

Dear EU,

Please don't cave in to these monsters.

"Unlike traditional trade negotiations, the US is not offering concessions in return. “It’s a one-way street,” said one EU official."

Chemistry Nobel Given for Molecules That Aid Carbon Capture Scientists from Japan, the UK and Jordan were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for creating molecular constructions with potential to help combat climate change.

Nobel Prize for Climate Tech. Should actually be a category going forward. But this'll do for today (gift link) - www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Hope everybody here gets up in the morning and calls at least 10 senators and 10 House members to let them know how you feel about the shutdown. Let them know that you want your healthcare and others healthcare protected Medicare Medicaid ACA kept in place I try to make at least 10 calls it matters!

I once debated a right-wing media figure on a television programme who described my attempt to provide some historical background as 'Marxist rhetoric.' Defenders of this system and its crimes always regard context with a mix of fear and loathing and here's an example of why.

Interesting to consider this in the context of arguments that we will not need to replace 100% of fossil fuel energy systems because renewables are much more efficient.

'Everything Is Political': 'Black Girl Environmentalist' Wawa Gatheru On Social Media and Climate Justice Kenyan-American activist Wawa Gatheru is a rising star of the climate justice movement. The Rhodes Scholar and Forbes 30/30 recipient spoke to me about taking the fight to both Big Tech and Big Oil

I spoke to Wawa last year about climate justice and de-fossilizing our politics.

We probably need to go back to ~350 ppm CO₂ equivalent for temperatures to stop rising.

We are now above 573 ppm (GHG forcing of +4.1 W/m²).

That's without aerosols cooling things down.

There's too much uncertainty to be sure, but going back to 350 ppm is already a Herculean task.

On this October day, it is a timely moment for this deep reflection from American artist Andrew Burt about the ongoing situation.

gretathunberg I heard Donald Trump once again has expressed his very flattering opinions on my character, and I appreciate his concerns for my mental health. To Trump: I would kindly receive any recommendations you might have to deal with these so called "anger management problems" since - judging by your impressive track record - you seem to be suffering from them too.

Greta Thunberg issues a statement about Donald Trump’s temper tantrums:

KPMG fined £710,937.50 for dud audit of N Brown Group.

Failed to perform proper accounting checks.

Fines are just another cost of doing Nelsonian audits, passed to other customers

Audits by big firms are worthless, but highly profitable. Partners collect millions, exploit state guaranteed market.

I just updated this NASA CERES graph. The regional level of Absorbed Solar Radiation increased by 4.2 W/m² in 20 years!!

That's more than the global greenhouse gas forcing increase since 1750!

The 2 W/m² Net Flux increase indicates that there is a lot more regional warming in the pipeline.

'Pride is never a worthy sacrifice for knowledge' is a profound and moving thing to say. 🩷

The idea that people have been able to claim that Identifying public officials who are working for the state (which pays them with OUR tax dollars) is doxing is just 🤯!

Forests are important.

Forests are important. Here’s why 🧵1/n

Forests
- make shade & cool the surface
- capture CO2
- purify the air
- make clouds & rain
- prevent drought
- prevent flooding
- prevent erosion
- and a lot more

Protected areas hit hard as Mekong countries’ forest cover shrank in 2024 BANGKOK — The Mekong countries of Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam lost a combined area of tree cover of nearly a million hectares in 2024, or an area almost the size of Lebanon. That’s…

The five Mekong countries lost nearly 1 million hectares (2.5 million acres) of tree cover in 2024, with nearly a quarter of which was primary forest, and more than 30% of losses occurring inside protected areas.

Cement/concrete production, ccus, end-use differentiated for contribution to net zero goals. Durable CO2 sinks are only a very small fraction compared to the ongoing marketing of these products

See how teeny tiny the estimated HYPED recarbonation of concrete would be in 2050. (Lower right corner.)
This is used as THE argument vs bio based "temporary" storage to keep the status quo biz alive.

Paris before and after street transformation

New urban forest planted in front of Paris City Hall

A Paris “School Street” where cars are removed and people space/tree planting are added

According to the City of Paris, in the last 10 years 150K trees have been planted & 45ha of parks created in the already hot city, all intended to not only improve quality-of-life today, but also help the city adapt to & manage summer heatwaves of 50℃ (122F) by 2050.

Just the start.

Common sense.

The Very Hungry Microbes That Could, Just Maybe, Cool the Planet

We need to cut methane emissions now. We don't have time to waste. These articles push theoretical long term solutions and include oil and gas industry propaganda.

"They involve stopping methane from being released in the first place, by repairing leaks in pipelines...."

They aren't leaks.

Could we get hyperscalers to buy heat pumps for households? Ari Matusiak and Carla Peterman join me to discuss a wild new idea: getting data centers to pay for your next heat pump.

Today on Volts: the folks at @rewiringamerica.bsky.social have an idea. Hyperscalers desperately need to free up grid capacity for data centers, right? Why not let them buy that capacity by paying for residential heat pumps & solar/storage systems? I discuss it w/ the head of RW & a rep from PG&E.
