When the US legislative process is working normally, it can be hard enough to follow. When things get complicated, it can be darn near impossible. On the upside, the weird contortions the lawyers in DC come up with can be downright comical. In this article, I’m going to highlight some … [continued]
There’s an old fable we’ve probably all heard. Supposedly, if you drop a frog in boiling water, the frog will jump out, but if you gradually heat the water in the pot to boiling, the frog will stay in the water and cook to death because it doesn’t notice the … [continued]
Long-haul shipping remains a hard problem for decarbonization. Maersk’s purchase isn’t going to address it. The roughly $150 million extra that it paid for the 8 ships is about 0.4% of Maersk’s annual revenues, or about 1.5% of its expected 2021 profits.
The extreme weather effects of climate change are here, with “historic” droughts and “once in a lifetime” floods and fires coming hard and fast. It’s a scary time, but humans are nothing if not adaptable, and one Utah tech firm is hoping we’ll be able to science our way out … [continued]
A bold new program is accelerating the transition to zero-emissions trucks.
Two political leaders, two opposite reactions to the IPCC report — and they are from the same party. Matt Kean, the energy and environment minister in the Liberal (Conservative) state of New South Wales (NSF), is giving his federal government colleagues an ultimatum — lead, follow, or get out of … [continued]
Global treaties from the 50s are preventing governments from taking action on climate change today.
Temme’s assertion is that arguably 10% of global CO2e emissions can be linked back to ammonia-nitrogen fertilizer, and Pivot Bio can take on a third of that in the core crops that they are focused on in the top global markets. They want to address 3-4% of global emissions in the coming decade.
Rain fell on the peak of the Greenland ice cap last week, something that hasn’t happened in over 12,000 years.
There’s a reason why Pivot Bio has gone through several successful funding rounds, most recently a $430 million Series D round. Its product is not only good for the climate and good for crop yields, it makes farmers’ lives easier.
