There is a certain irony in spending $276 million on political “free speech”.

A company presold $200k worth of carbon removal credits for an unproven tech, then tried to bully New Zealand into gutting environmental laws to bypass safety checks. Officials found zero evidence their "ocean fertilization" method works or is safe. 🌊

The Trump regime is redefining the Endangered Species Act to consider only the intentional killing of endangered animals to be illegal, removing accountability for incidental harm caused by economic activities. Psychopaths.

The Trump regime removed limits on greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. If the move survives legal challenges, it could hinder future administrations from regulating these emissions.

A gentle reminder that if we miss the 1.5°C target (and we certainly will), the next target is 1.51°C and not 2°C. We need to keep fighting. Every tonne of CO₂ emitted makes the job of future CO₂ removal harder, and every 0.01°C of temperature increase makes the world more chaotic and dangerous.
Cover from The Economist from two years ago "Say goodbye to 1.5°C; why climate policy is off target". It has a graphic of the Earth with an apple on its head, and a arrow shot through the Earth.

Big Oil profits have skyrocketed since Trump launched his Iran War — leading to a $93B windfall for the eight biggest oil companies in Q2 2026 alone. Meanwhile, Trump himself has raked in up to $15.5M from his fossil fuel investments since January. Don't forget what this was really all about.

Microsoft significantly reduced its CO₂ removal (CDR) purchases by 80% in the first half of 2026. Microsoft bought 93% of all CDR credits globally last year. This is absurd, and no way to determine which method might actually work and scale. CDR R&D should be government-funded and government-led.
