Apple is making a watch that sucks CO₂ from the atmosphere, making it carbon neutral.
Oh wait, I’m told it’s just greenwashing.

Heat & very dry air that used to be rare, now very common in Spain & Portugal, putting huge strain on EU firefighting resources - at 1.3C global warming. Every additional ton of fossil fuels burnt will make European summers even more deadly & dangerous www.worldweatherattribution.org/extreme-fire...

Critical yet often overlooked is that NOAA's Oceanic and Atmospheric Research maintains vital long-term monitoring programs like the CO₂ Keeling Curve that, while essential, often struggle for funding from agencies like NSF that prioritize hypothesis-driven research over sustained observation.

The ocean is the heart of our life support system, absorbing over 90% of the excess heat from global warming. This is evident in the rise of ocean heat content over time.
Ocean heat content in 2024 - Nature Reviews Earth & Environment
Global full-depth ocean heat content (OHC) gain since 1960 reached a record 452 ± 77 ZJ in 2024. OHC was 15 ± 9 ZJ higher than in 2023, primarily associated with warming in the Atlantic and Indian Oce...
