With UN climate negotiations set for next month, a growing number of nations and business leaders are calling for a phaseout of fossil fuels

"In October, Vicki Hollub, CEO of Occidental, one of the largest operators there, promised yet more production in a basin that Bloomberg last year described as “uniquely positioned to become the world’s most important growth engine for oil production.”

Did nobody tell them about climate change? " @Yale Environment 360

Yale E360: "In Mongolia, a Killer Winter Is Ravaging Herds and a Way of Life"

#ThereIsNoPlanetB - "Mongolian herders are facing a savage “dzud” winter, with more than 2 million livestock frozen to death.

Scientists say this lethal phenomenon — extreme cold and heavy snow following a summer drought — is happening more often with #climatechange." Yale Environment 360

Mongolia’s nomadic herders are facing a savage “dzud” winter, with more than 2 million livestock frozen to death so far. Scientists say this

YaleE360: Rain Comes To The Arctic

#ThereIsNoPlanetB - "Rain used to be rare in the Arctic, but as the region warms, it is becoming increasingly common.

Rain is triggering floods, landslides, and avalanches, accelerating the loss of ice, and creating more misery for Arctic wildlife." Yale Environment 360

Rain used to be rare in the Arctic, but as the region warms, so-called “rain-on-snow events” are becoming more common. The rains accelerate

"Last year saw the loss of 1,989 square miles of Brazilian rainforest, an area slightly larger than London, a drop from 3,963 square miles in 2022. The new left-wing government in neighboring Colombia has made similar progress in slowing the destruction of the Amazon."

For millennia, lakes in Greenland’s tundra have locked up huge loads of carbon in their sediment. But as the Arctic becomes warmer and wette

"“We are trying to understand the carbon budget in the Arctic,” says Hazuková. The stakes are high: That ledger of sinks and sources informs the models that scientists use to project the Earth’s future climate. Currently, however, the estimate “pretty much only focuses on soils and vegetation,” she says. “Freshwaters are just not included at all.”"

San Francisco is at the forefront of a movement to recycle wastewater from commercial buildings, homes, and neighborhoods and use it for toi

"...this unit, called a OneWater System, will be installed in the basement, where its collection of pipes will take in much of the hotel’s graywater — from sinks, showers, and laundry. The system will clean the water with membrane filtration, ultraviolet light, and chlorine, and then send it back upstairs to be used again for nonpotable uses.

And again. And again."

High-profile initiatives to plant millions of trees are being touted by governments around the world as major contributions to fighting clim

“Cynical PR is one thing, but phantom forests are also increasingly sabotaging efforts to rein in climate change. This happens when planters claim the presumed take-up of carbon by growing forests as carbon credits. If certified by reputable bodies, these credits can count toward governments meeting their national emissions targets or be sold to industrial polluters to offset their emissions. Many corporations plan to use their purchase of carbon credits as a means of fulfilling promises to attain “net-zero” emissions. So the stakes are rising.”

Let me just make sure I’m understanding this correctly. They’re taking the potential carbon offset that this grove of trees could someday provide and using it as a “credit” for carbon emissions now, despite the fact that these trees are not currently offsetting anything and most likely won’t be taken care of well enough for them to get to a point where they do offset anything. What????

Wolf Released in Arizona

For the first time since 2008, the US Fish & Wildlife Service approved the release of a Mexican gray wolf born and raised in captivity, M1133. He will replace the alpha male of the Bluestem pack, illegally killed last summer.

For more on the history of USFWS foot-dragging and mismanagement of Mexican wolf recovery, see "For Wolves on the Brink, a Hobbled Recovery Plan."
