Interesting idea and I'm curious to see how it unfolds. We could also just plant more trees which naturally harvest CO2 from the atmosphere? #carboncapture #carbondioxide #climatechange #greenhousegases #greenhouseeffect https://lnkd.in/g2KhWXM8

Have you ever considered the power of nature in combating climate change? Rainforests, the Earth's incredible lungs, are already hard at work, naturally removing CO2 from our atmosphere! No complicated technology is needed, just the magic of Mother Nature. But here's the thing: rainforest preservation requires our support. These precious ecosystems, found in countries around the world, need carbon finance to thrive. By ensuring that their trees are valued more alive than dead, we're investing in a brighter, greener future for all. Check out this fascinating article by Forbes to dive deeper into how rainforest preservation is proving to be a powerful tool for #ClimateAction: https://lnkd.in/gHTDkPhg

Here's a roundup of some promising climate news. Change is slow, but it happens in an instant. Exciting developments from the clean tech s-curve to the newest version of Settlers of Catan. #ClimateChange #CleanTech

Another great article discussing the problems and fallacies of Direct Air Capture (DAC). Learn about why that approach will not deliver the needed results. Why not select Soil Carbon Capture Sequestration (SCCS). It is a realistic and deployable approach for #climaterestoration.

Nonprofit CarbonMapper is equipping airplanes with remote sensing technology that uses infrared imaging to identify methane leaks across the country. The planes fly above oil and gas fields, landfills and other common places for methane emissions. Once identified, the race to reduce this greenhouse gas starts. https://bit.ly/49uN7Fj

New aerial survey research highlights U.S. landfills as significant methane emission sources, underscoring an urgent need for improved waste management strategies. This insight from Carbon Mapper offers a pivotal opportunity for professionals and industries to innovate and contribute to climate change mitigation. Let's collaborate on solutions that address this critical environmental challenge. https://lnkd.in/gACfZnZQ

The science is clear. We need to phase out fossil fuels as fast as we can. We are proud to be among many local partners who are accelerating the transition to clean energy. There is hope for the future, but we must work fast, and work together. https://lnkd.in/gXJ4RpVS Marin Independent Journal #ClimateChange #CleanEnergy

As the year ends, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by climate anxiety. But amidst the climate news, there’s innovations that give us reason to be optimistic about the future. Check out this inspiring article from Fast Company highlighting 10 groundbreaking climate tech advancements: https://lnkd.in/ggXySDE6. From turning CO2 into jet fuel, farming for carbon removal, and zero-emission ships, there’s a lot to be excited about! What climate tech companies & innovations excite you the most?

The #fossilfuel industry funded some of the world’s most foundational #climatescience as early as 1954, newly unearthed documents have shown, including the early research of Charles Keeling, famous for the so-called “Keeling curve” that has charted the upward march of the Earth’s #carbondioxide levels. A coalition of #oil and #car manufacturing interests provided $13,814 (about $158,000 in today’s money) in December 1954 to fund Keeling’s earliest work in measuring #CO2 levels across the western #US, the documents reveal. Keeling would go on to establish the continuous measurement of global CO2 at the Mauna Loa Observatory in #Hawaii. This “Keeling curve” has tracked the steady increase of the atmospheric carbon that drives the #climatecrisis and has been hailed as one of the most important scientific works of modern times. The fossil fuel interests backed a group, known as the Air Pollution Foundation (#APF), that issued funding to Keeling to measure CO2 alongside a related effort to #research the smog that regularly blighted #LosAngeles at the time. This is earlier than any previously known climate research funded by #oilcompanies. In the research proposal for the money – uncovered by Rebecca John, a researcher at the Climate Investigations Center (#CIC) , and published by the climate website DeSmog– Keeling’s research director, Samuel Epstein, wrote about a new carbon isotope analysis that could identify “changes in the atmosphere” caused by the burning of #coal and #petroleum. “The possible consequences of a changing concentration of the CO2 in the atmosphere with reference to climate, rates of photosynthesis, and rates of equilibration with carbonate of the oceans may ultimately prove of considerable significance to civilization,” Epstein, a researcher at the California Institute of Technology (or #Caltech), wrote to the group in November 1954. Experts say the documents show the fossil fuel industry had intimate involvement in the inception of modern climate science, along with its warnings of the severe harm #climatechange will wreak, only to then publicly deny this science for decades and fund ongoing efforts to delay action on the #climatecrisis. “They contain smoking gun proof that by at least 1954, the fossil fuel industry was on notice about the potential for its products to disrupt Earth’s climate on a scale significant to human civilisation,” said Geoffrey Supran, an expert in historic climate #disinformation at the #UniversityofMiami. “These findings are a startling confirmation that #bigoil has had its finger on the pulse of academic climate science for 70 years – for twice my lifetime – and a reminder that it continues to do so to this day. They make a mockery of the oil industry’s denial of basic climate science decades later.” API and Ralph Keeling, Charles’s son who is also a scientist, were contacted for comment about the documents but did not respond?
