China Likely To Have Lower GHG Emissions Than USA By 2035
China’s electrification, renewables, and infrastructure trajectories mean coal demand is going to plummet, and emissions with it. The USA? Not so much.

Broken Record: Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Levels Jump Again
Carbon dioxide levels measured at NOAA’s Mauna Loa Atmospheric Baseline Observatory peaked at 424 parts per million in May, continuing a steady climb further into territory not seen for millions of years, scientists from NOAA and Scripps Institution of Oceanography offsite link at the University of California San Diego announced … [continued]
NOAA: How Greenhouse Gas Pollution Amplified Global Warming in 2022
“The AGGI is derived from highly accurate measurements of greenhouse gases in air samples collected around the world,” said Vanda Grubišić, Ph.D, director of NOAA’s Global Monitoring Laboratory (GML). “It continues to rise despite international efforts to curb emission of greenhouse gases from fossil fuels that seem to be falling short of their targets.”
Finally! Publicly Traded US Companies Will Have To Report GHG Emissions
A new rule could transform the SEC into one of the country’s leading enforcers of climate-related disclosures.
A Dirt Cheap Solution? Common Clay Materials May Help Curb Methane Emissions
With special treatment, minerals called zeolites — commonly found in cat litter — can efficiently remove the greenhouse gas from the air, researchers report. By David L. Chandler Methane is a far more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, and it has a pronounced effect within first two decades of its … [continued]
Is Renewable Energy Enough To Stop Global Warming? What About Animal Agriculture?
With the climate generally growing warmer, it becomes more urgent and imperative to slow climate disruption. Recently, the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released a new report after reviewing 6,000 scientific studies and references. The IPCC suggests that it is vital that we keep the temperature delta within 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) compared to the preindustrial historical average. If we were to exceed that level, we may see runaway climate warming. This dire situation demands that we do everything possible to improve our path forward.
