Climate extinction dreader At birth CO2 was 312
I should never have learned about CO2 and CH4-driven extinction events.
It's insane that the majesty and beauty of this planet will never be admired by anyone again.

Only half of the Contiguous U.S. saw 20" or more of snow in the Oct-Mar 2024-25 period. This is the second lowest percentage on record (since 1940).

How many of the 12 calendar months show a warming trend over the last 75 years? For the vast majority of locations on Earth, the answer is all 12 months. 🔥🔥🔥

Yet again, at or above average temperatures were found across all latitude bands over the last three months, particularly in the #Arctic.

The electricity storage genie is out of the bottle and won’t go back in, no matter much we flood the market with fossil fuels.
Certainly another potential big positive development in energy storage.
'Thanks to a much lower cost per kWH than any other battery technology, they can be used to provide cost-effective power to supplement wind and solar farms.'

Iron-Air Storage Battery Production Begins on Former WV Steel-Mill Site
As low-cost iron-air batteries enter commercial production, they promise to make utility-scale wind and solar power even more competitive with fossil-derived electricity.

Methane cuts aren't an emergency brake, they're an extra 1/2 mile of track before the train falls into the canyon.
Whoa! Curbing methane emissions is an "emergency break" climate solution. And now we know where to focus, thanks to new satellite data.
Fast, targeted climate action. Let's go!
