Countries cleaning up more climate pollution than they are producing?
That is the idea behind achieving net-negative emissions.
Though an ambition for the far future, its pursuit starts with deep emissions cuts over the next decade.

German public TV just published this poll of first-time voters. A massive lead for socialist Left party on 27%.
Left + SPD + Greens on 54% among first-time-voters. Those voters were also slightly less likely to vote AfD than national average.
So much for the “far-right youth”.

At least 5 newborns have frozen to death in Gaza in the past week alone. 30 day old Juma al-Batran died in his father’s arms due to lack of heating and his twin is in medical care.
These babies have never known any other existence. Their moms spent their entire pregnancies surviving a genocide.

📢There’s now more man-made mass in the world than all living things combined. New research finds we're adding more fossil carbon to that mass at an accelerating pace - mostly in the form of plastics.
New Research Reveals Carbon ‘Time Bomb’ In Our Homes, Appliances

We have always relied on the oil and gas industry to self-report methane emissions. Now we have independent ways to of measuring those emissions and it turns out they were lying about the emissions. By a lot. The blue lines are actual measurements. The pink are industry numbers.
