A person on a bicycle is by far the most energy-efficient among animals and machines per distance traveled relative to body weight. The bicycle is magic.

Worldwide, air pollution from burning fossil fuels is responsible for about 1 in 5 deaths

It really doesn't have to be this way

Fossil fuel air pollution responsible for 1 in 5 deaths worldwide
New research finds that deaths from fossil fuel emissions are higher than previously thought—more than 8 million people per year, worldwide.

To hit any of these, we’d have to actually start decreasing emissions…

“On the hottest day of the year, our air conditioner failed. With the IRA and other incentives, we received a 25% cost reduction — about $6,300. Our air conditioning bill is now halved. My persistent cough, likely aggravated by burning gas in the home, has improved.” www.sltrib.com/opinion/lett...

If you learn anything today, it should be this:

We're burning more fossil fuels and releasing more fossil fuel CO₂ than ever. Despite what people had hoped, anthropogenic CO₂ emissions have not peaked.

To stay below +1.5°C of global warming, we're supposed to cut emissions by 50% by 2030. 🥲
Combining the slower growth in fossil CO2 emissions & slow decline in LUC emissions, means that total CO2 emissions are close to a plateau over the last decade.

Though, with a rise in fossil emissions & forest fires partly fuelled by El Niño, total emissions are estimated to rise 2% in 2024.

@waiterich.bsky.social My team at www.teamaginc.com provides support for farmers to benchmark emissions and improve soil health. We’ve partnered with several corporates to better understand their supply chain emissions and help their farmers implement practices. Happy to chat & collaborate!
