The era of scarcity: Climate change threatens the future of food

"Global warming will cause significant losses in staple crops and the impacts will primarily affect the main current producing regions"...

The era of scarcity: Climate change threatens the future of food
Food shortages are worsening, and although a more cooperative social and scientific vision offers hope, if the crisis is comprehensive and global, the measures to counter it must be as well

📢Global Carbon Budget 2025📢

Fossil CO2 emissions continue to rise in 2025 while the terrestrial carbon sink recovers to pre-El Niño strength.

The key findings are covered in two reports this year:
* ESSDD (preprint): essd.copernicus.org/preprints/es...
* Nature: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Opinion | This year’s COP is a vital moment for Prime Minister Mark Carney to deliver on a key Canadian climate promise, showcase responsible energy development, and advance economic opportunities.

Hey!! Here's my new piece for The New Republic!!

It's about how Meta is cramming generative video slop (the most energy-intensive of the gen systems) into its massive global advertising engine: a recipe for an order magnitude worsening of its already-huge harms 😱

newrepublic.com/article/2028...
a slop generated baby hippo swimming in water In 2021, every active Meta user cost around one kilogram of carbon dioxide equivalent, or CO2e—a way of measuring greenhouse gases—in terms of direct and unadjusted power grid emissions. By 2024, that had risen to 1.8 kilograms of CO2e. Similarly, every $1 million of revenue caused about 26 tonnes of CO2e in 2021. That’s now 36 tonnes. Meta did not respond to a request for comment for this story. Meta’s push to force-feed advertising slop into every single corner of the massive digital space it controls could not have worse timing. The country it’s headquartered in is pouring cash into resuscitating coal and accelerating gas. The United States just saw the first two half-year periods with an increase in coal generation for at least half a decade (probably longer), as the Trump administration sets about pouring millions into keeping coal on life support. meta's emissions rising fast

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.
Screenshot of a tweet from Joyce Carol Oates posted on Sunday, November 9th that reads "so curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates--scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. in fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. the poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the "most wealthy person in the world."

Marine CO₂ removal lacks standardized indicators to quantify carbon removed and environmental impacts. This absence of reliable metrics prevents verification, inhibits investment, and blocks entry into carbon trading systems.

iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...
a schematic diagram showing various processes and related indicators for monitoring carbon removal in ocean systems, based on analyzed literature. The diagram divides the processes into three categories represented by different colors: Blue Carbon (green): Focuses on processes related to carbon sequestration and the role of marine ecosystems in capturing and storing carbon. Artificial Upwelling (yellow): Depicts processes that involve artificial interventions in marine environments to increase carbon capture. Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (blue): Illustrates methods that increase ocean alkalinity, which can help enhance carbon removal. The processes depicted in the diagram include: Carbon Sequestration Potential: This refers to the ability of oceans to capture and store carbon, with an indicator for monitoring this potential. Mineral Dissolution and Seawater Alkalinity Change: These processes are associated with changes in seawater chemistry, enhancing carbon sequestration through increased alkalinity. GHG Emissions: This represents the release of greenhouse gases, which can be measured to monitor the net carbon dynamics in the system. Carbon Removal Rates and Respiration: Shows how carbon is removed from the atmosphere and the role of respiration in this process, measured through carbon flux indicators. Primary Production and Water Masses Detection: This includes the detection of primary production (e.g., photosynthesis) in marine systems that leads to organic carbon formation. Sinking, Remineralization, and Burial: These processes involve the movement of carbon from the surface to deeper ocean layers, with some carbon remineralized and some buried in sediments. 🧪🌊
