We’ll need significant CO2 storage to meet climate targets. Done right wells can sequester CO2 permanently but getting it right’s not a given. Holding operators accountable for the quality of their work is essential. We shouldn’t give that away too easily. blogs.edf.org/energyexchange…

🔥 Wildfires in Brazil's Amazon have reached a 14-year high, prompting an air-quality emergency. A whopping 2.5M hectares of Amazon rainforest have burned since August 1, per Agencia Brasil. Let's be clear: climate change produces conditions ideal for these supercharged events.

This massive project will heat about 30,000 homes and avoid 26,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions each year 🤯And in the U.S. you can save money on a heat pump of your own thanks to Inflation Reduction Act incentives. x.com/euronewsgreen/…

If you’re looking for a mid-week mood boost you just found it. EPA is restoring protections that limit toxic air pollution from industrial sources. 1/2

Encouraging to see progress speeding up. 80% of new energy capacity added to the U.S. grid the first half of this year came from solar and batteries. And as the price of solar/other renewables continues to come down this momentum will grow even faster. x.com/IEA/status/183…

The amount of moisture in the atmosphere has increased by about 6%–7% since preindustrial times. And as the atmosphere gets warmer and wetter summers will keep getting soupier 🤢 x.com/eilperin/statu…

If tropical deforestation were a country, it would rank 4th in global emissions. But the good news is, we have tools available to make forests worth more alive than dead. Some encouraging signs carbon credit markets are ready for primetime: trellis.net/article/harnes…

Exciting development! By applying o&g drilling techniques Fervo was able to produce geothermal electricity in areas where it had been impossible. And as Tim Latimer says here this increases the technology’s potential to scale by orders of magnitude. omny.fm/shows/zero/the…

.President Biden just announced a major investment in clean, reliable electricity for rural communities—the largest investment in rural electric power since the 1930s. 👏🏽 This funding will help lower families' energy costs, cut pollution & create good-paying jobs.

We won’t all experience hurricanes or extreme heat. But every single one of us has to eat. We need all hands on deck (policymakers, food companies, banks, etc.) to speed up climate adaptation efforts and protect food production and food producers. x.com/CarbonBrief/st…

Revitalizing coral reefs at Biscayne Nat'l Park? Or how about restoring trout species in western national parks? All within reach now that U.S. national parks are set to receive a record-high $100M gift. Here’s what it could build, protect & restore: x.com/AP/status/1827…

🐋 Inspiring! Divers off the coast of Vava’u, Tonga, encountered a rare “fully white humpback baby” with its mother last month. Humpback whales can live for up to 90 years, and albino humpbacks are very rare. #Whales #Humpback #MarineLife #Ocean #Earth #Wildlife #Conservation
