At Oliver Morton's request I did a back-of-envelope calculation. If no mistake, the rate of #oceanAcidification from CO2 uptake by the ocean is approximately equivalent to dumping all the battery acid from every vehicle in the world into the ocean every two hours.

The UN Climate Change Conference #COP26 starts in one week, and we need governments to work together and reduce our emissions ASAP. See which countries are already legally committed at: eciu.net/netzerotracker

On climate, the world will succeed, or fail, as one. Now is the time for real action. #COP26 begins today. We must make it count. #TogetherForOurPlanet

It’s make or break time for the planet. Check out the new episode from the Intelligence Squared podcast. The Sunday Debate: Is COP26 a turning point for the planet? play.acast.com/s/14f6ad8d-8ec… via Acast

Plants hold the key to removing atmospheric carbon dioxide. Can we make them more efficient carbon stores and feed the planet in the process? bbc.com/future/bespoke…

At least a dozen new satellites over the next 5 years will monitor methane and CO2 emissions, and check on governments commitments. Read more at: science.org/content/articl…

If we want to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, we should not pay people to burn fossil-fuels. But instead of making fossil fuels more expensive, many governments subsidize them. We discuss why repealing these subsidies is not easy, but it is possible: ourworldindata.org/fossil-fuel-su…
