Layoffs just hit their highest start-of-year total since January 2009 — the height of the Great Recession — according to data tracking firm Challenger.
Meanwhile, CEO pay and corporate profits continue to hit record highs.
Does anyone still believe that trickle-down tax cuts create jobs?

Why methane surged in the atmosphere during the early 2020s
The atmospheric methane (CH4) growth rate surged after 2019, peaking at 16.2 parts per billion per year (ppb year−1) in 2020 before declining to 8.6 ppb year−1 in 2023. Using multiple atmospheric inve...

The solutions to lower emissions already exist. The simplest one is to abstain from polluting behaviours. Tech solutions for energy and transport are available, they just need to be rolled-out much more quickly.
Meanwhile CO2 and methane levels are rising faster than ever.

Dan Miller on Climate Chat heard about Ocean Surface Albedo Modification about 15 years ago. Maybe he talked with Seitz, who had a company that tried this with nanobubbles that rise and pop more slowly on water reservoirs to lower evaporation.

Schnell vergisst man wahrscheinlich den Dezember, der ~2,4°C zu warm war.

If all 2 billion humans who we plan to add in the next 25 years were vegan - it would still mean the end of all functioning ecosystems. Why? Because even vegans need land to eat. Far less, but "better is not good enough" in #overshoot. We have to reduce "everything". Less growth isn't reduction.

There are two #extinction scenarios today:
🟢 plants and fungi somehow make it. Only animals (consumers aka parasites) go extinct.
🔴 Even plants and fungi don't make it due to #cyanobacteria becoming dominant again
I hope for A but fear for B.

Oceans struggle to absorb Earth's carbon dioxide as microplastics invade their waters
A new study reveals that microplastics are impairing the oceans' ability to absorb carbon dioxide, a process scientists find crucial for regulating Earth's temperature.
