The giant chestnut tree, growing in place for hundreds of years, would have been impossible to miss. Its leaves were glossy and dark green, its bark riven like a mountain range seen from above. The fungi it relies on were harder to see.
This is beyond outrageous. #climatechange will not be stopped in time to prevent the 6th great extinction
In addition to the eight
liquified methane gas export terminals that are currently operational in U.S. waters, six more have been approved and are currently under construction; 11 more have been approved and are awaiting construction; four more are currently awaiting federal approval; and three more are in pre-filing application stages.

World may have crossed solar power 'tipping point,' study suggests
The study, based on a data-driven model of technology and economics, finds that solar PV (photovoltaics) is likely to become the dominant power source before 2050—even without support from more ambitious climate policies.

In an unlikely country, Uruguay, a particle physicist figured out how to convert energy grids to renewable energy. We tell the story of how he did it.
The excerpt below is taken from "Our Fragile Moment: How Lessons from Earth's Past Can Help Us Survive the Climate Crisis" (Hachette Book Group, 2023), by Michael Mann.
It looks at how climate change following the Cambrian explosion caused the biggest mass extinction on Earth — dooming the creatures set to dominate and set the stage for dinosaurs to rule.

Environmental groups using competition law to fight #FossilFuels sector. Complaints allege false or misleading environmental claims by fossil fuel companies.
...environmentalists argue the ads are misleading because they don’t make it clear that oilsands firms are actually planning to increase oil output overall — their net-zero goals only apply to the actual extraction process, not the product they produce.

More Americans view climate change as a culprit after summer of extremes
Kathleen Maxwell has lived in Phoenix for more than 20 years, but this summer was the first time she felt fear, as daily high temperatures soared to 110 degrees or hotter and kept it up for a record-shattering 31 consecutive days.

Anthropogenic global warming via increased concentrations of CO2 and CH4 in the atmosphere change is not the only thing causing increased negative (for us) changes in the planet's climate.
India is currently extracting from its groundwater the equivalent of one lake Erie every year. China's 3 Gorges Dam has retained enough water to actually affect the planet's axis of rotation and the amount of concrete they are using (Three Gorges Dam alone required 16 million tonnes) 1/2
New report from the Wall Street Journal, documents and emails from Exxon Mobil executives have come to light giving more details of the Oil giant’s war on science and democracy.
Reporters at the Journal reviewed summaries of documents produced in the State of New York’s lawsuit against Exxon, which began in 2015. Those included “emails, “emails between top executives, board meetings and Tillerson’s edits of speeches, among other things.”

Parts of the world have already grown too hot for human survival
Even more areas will face such conditions as the planet continues to warm from fossil fuel combustion.

strategically situated in close proximity to vast volumes of agricultural crop waste (700,000+ tonnes/annum within a 100k radius). Farmers in this region typically burn their flax crop waste releasing enormous amounts of toxic chemicals, such as black carbon, into the atmosphere.
The GPE BioNode at its core is a carbon capture and sequestration system that acts as a catalyst for regeneration.
