Scientists diving under ice in Lapland show why in situ research still matters. Tech helps, but nothing replaces firsthand data—especially as climate change outpaces decision-making. “We need to keep science at the front,” says Prof. Norkko. #ClimateScience #Arctic

Everything that's wrong with carbon credits is right here. A farm practicing regenerative agriculture methods sells its "carbon credits" so a Formula 1 racing team can "offset" the emissions from what it's always going to do anyway.

Any time you see Starbucks talking about "sustainability," remember that the company's new CEO gets a corporate jet to "commute" from his Southern California home to corporate headquarters in Seattle. He won't be relocating, just commuting by private plane.
