New CRI Report! The European Commission's decision to exclude leather from the EU Deforestation Regulation is a setback. But this exclusion isn’t final — and even if it goes through, European companies sourcing leather from places like Brazil are not off the hook. 🧵

With US average gasoline prices at $4.63 per gallon, it now costs about 3.7 times more to drive a mile in a gasoline car than in an electric car. Gasoline: $4.63 per gallon / 28 miles per gallon = 16.5 c per mile Electric: 15 c per kWh * 0.3 kWh per mile = 4.5 c per mile

The proportion of CO2 in the atmosphere grew at a record 3.75 ppm last year -- a jump 27% bigger than the previous record increase. The best explanation: forests and soils are so stressed by climate change they're losing the ability to absorb our emissions. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Is the planet losing one of its best ways to slow climate change?

The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere rose last year at the fastest rate on record. The spike has scientists worried that more and more carbon is coming from natural sources.
