Relatedly, and top of mind coming on the heels of New York Climate Week: a lot of y'all's climate favorites are fucking grifters who care more about building their platforms than anything else. People, we gotta get better at media literacy and critical thinking 💪

It's too depressing and obnoxious to write about, but virtually all of the doomy/horny AI hyperventilating is transparently displaced anxiety about our fucked climate and political situation. Even rich idiots know it's bad and being permitted to get worse. They're trying to write their own ending.

I was twelve when I took my first backpacking trip to the Grand Canyon. We camped at Phantom Ranch and took a day trip up Bright Angel Creek to Ribbon Falls. It was a life-forming event for me. To see this happening, especially in the greater context of climate change, is deeply sad.

If you’re interested in transit history and are in the Bay Area, I highly recommend the Western Railway Museum. In addition to these original BART cars, they have an amazing collection of working streetcars.

The past six months have been a long bad dream for me health-wise, ending in kind of a nightmare.  I think it’s over now, with five new scars and recovery ahead. All the nurses and EMTs I’ve met have been the very best of people.

Posted on LinkedIn by @globalecoguy.bsky.social: Actual versus projected buildout for solar power vs. carbon capture

Two-panel chart comparing actual performance versus modeled projections for two climate technologies, spanning 2010–2040.

Panel 1 — Carbon Capture Capacity (megatons)
Line chart. Y-axis: 0 to 4,000+ megatons. A single dark red line (actual carbon storage) runs nearly flat from 2010 to approximately 2025, remaining well below 500 megatons. Beginning around 2023–2025, a fan of teal/blue projection lines diverges sharply upward, with the highest trajectories reaching approximately 4,000–5,000 megatons by 2040 and the lowest remaining near 500 megatons. Actual performance is far below all but the most conservative projections.

Panel 2 — Solar Power (terawatt-hours)
Line chart. Y-axis: 0 to 2,000+ terawatt-hours. A single dark red line (actual solar electricity production) shows exponential growth from near zero in 2010, rising steeply to approximately 2,000 TWh by 2023–2024. A dense fan of teal/blue projection lines originates around 2023–2025 and extends to 2040, spanning a wide range from approximately 200 to 2,000 TWh. Actual solar production meets or exceeds the upper range of nearly all projections.

Implied contrast: Carbon capture has drastically underperformed projections. Solar power has dramatically outperformed them
