It turns out that rocks might help fight climate change.
UC Cooperative Extension scientists are studying enhanced rock weathering — adding pulverized rock dust to farm fields — to see how much CO₂ it can pull from the air while enriching soils.

Molly did a great job documenting this. I'll say it again:

as businesses find ways to profit off climate action, the politics of climate advocacy as we know them are getting murkier and murkier
anyway if there’s one thing i think everyone should take away from this complex situation it’s this: as big businesses find ways to profit off climate action, the politics of climate advocacy as we know them are getting murkier and murkier. new lines are being redrawn all over the country
