carbon emissions. Fossil fuel infrastructure and even some appliances
have about a 25-year design life. That means that every gas power plant,

There is of no chance of it taking off and happening, but I'll say it again anyway. If we could get people to stop calling it "natural gas" and instead call it what it is, methane, we would help hasten the transition off of that drug.

The start of September has seen a sudden
upward surge in international natural gas prices.
While headlines focus on crude oil crossing the
symbolic $100 per barrel mark, gas prices have
been rising faster, and are trading close to the oil
price equivalent of $150 per barrel.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) finds that in addition to rapid and deep reductions in greenhouse emissions, CO2 removal is “an essential element of scenarios that limit warming to 1.5°C or likely below 2°C by 2100”.

Large-scale deployment of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) methods is now
“unavoidable” if the world is to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions,
according to this week's report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC).

The report, released on Monday, finds that in addition to rapid and deep
reductions in greenhouse emissions, CO2 removal is “an essential element of scenarios that limit warming to 1.5°C or likely below 2°C by 2100”.

CDR refers to a suite of activities that lower the concentration of CO: in the
atmosphere. This is done by removing CO. molecules and storing the carbon in
plants, trees, soil, geological reservoirs, ocean reservoirs or products derived from
CO..

As the IPCC notes, each mechanism is complex, and has advantages and pitfalls.
Much work is needed to ensure CDR projects are rolled out responsibly.

I'd like to see a chart of U.S. steel and aluminum costs compared to in the other major economies over time. Anyway, really thinking about how much attention this news would garner if we had a Democratic POTUS compared to when we have the "business-friendly" political party controlling our govt.?

Republicans are doing all that they possibly can in order to stop the transition off of fossil fuels. grist.org/energy/department-of-ener…

Even though Trump hasn't destroyed the program itself, his policies have
‘hindered the growth of the clean tech field that ARPA-E helped to advance. A
case In point is Natron Energy, a company that received ARPA-E grant
funding to develop experimental sodium-ion batteries. The company
announced in 2024 that it would build a $1.4 billion plant in Rocky Mount,
North Carolina, but Trump's reelection dampened private sector interest in
electric vehicles, and the company failed to secure investors for its factory.
The company shut down last year.

I despise Tom Massie and doubt I'll ever trust him, but I am going to say that I do like him posting stuff like this now after the Republicans ditched him in his primary election.

Republicans say they will block consensus at the UN meeting on desertification if particiapants try to: "Use of the term "climate change," "climate action," or "climate agenda or references to the UNFCCC, Paris Agreement, or more broadly to the SDGs." www.unccd.int/media/52448/open

e We will also need to ensure that our redlines that take the Convention away from its
focus on its core work are not included in other decisions, so that we are not forced to
block consensus on additional decisions:

o Use of the term "climate change," "climate action," or "climate agenda or
references to the UNFCCC, Paris Agreement, or more broadly to the SDGs.
o Use of the term "gender," "gender equality," or references to "gender-
responsive," the "Gender Action Plan," or the "Gender Caucus."
o Use of the terms "Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities," "Indigenous
Knowledge" and/or "Indigenous Traditional Knowledge."
e We will also be zealous participants in negotiations on drought and the budget.

I wonder how many times headlines like this have been published since us scientists started to warn about the consequences of continuing to burn fossil fuels being the end of civilization way back in the last century?

It will be interesting to see how well the Republicans' campaign against climate action will work this fall at the ballot box after this hot, smoky summer of historic floods and storms. The way this farmer running for one of Arkansas's senate seats discusses climate will be interesting as well.
