🌎 The ocean already holds 40x more carbon than the atmosphere and absorbs a 1/4 of our emissions each year.

The bipartisan ReSCUE Ocean Act would boost federal research to better understand marine #CarbonRemoval and its impacts.

πŸ”₯ Emissions cuts are critical. But they won’t cool the planet alone.

We also need to remove carbon that’s already in the atmosphere.

What's the Climate Cost of Growing Crops? New global maps show croplands produce nearly 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Rice, corn, wheat and oil palm drive most of the impact.

Growing crops has a bigger climate cost than many realize 🌾

In 2020, croplands emitted 2.5 Gt CO2e, nearly 5% of global net emissions. New analysis explores where these emissions come from and how to cut them:
