Stockholm’s ‘flying’ electric ferry cuts emissions by 94 percent and reimagines city travel | The Optimist Daily
Stockholm’s hydrofoil electric ferry halves commute times and cuts emissions by 94 percent, signaling a cleaner future for urban waterways.

More than 10,000 Americans who suffer from chronic liver disease are on a waitlist for a liver transplant,
-- but there are not enough donated organs for all of those patients.
Additionally, many people with liver failure aren’t eligible for a transplant if they are not healthy enough to tolerate the surgery.
To help those patients, MIT engineers have developed ⭐️ “mini livers” that could be injected into the body and take over the functions of the failing liver.
In a n…

Survivors of Super Typhoon Odette are making history—they're suing Shell in UK courts for its role in fueling the climate crisis.
Their argument: Shell's emissions made the devastating storm more likely and more severe. It's part of a growing movement to hold Big Oil accountable for climate damages, especially in vulnerable regions like the Philippines that face repeated destruction.
"We don't deserve this," they say—and they're fighting back.

“We Don’t Deserve This”: Survivors of Super Typhoon Odette File Claims Against Shell
Last week the survivors of Super Typhoon Odette that struck the Philippines in 2021 filed what may be the most ambitious climate lawsuit to date against global oil giant Shell.

China carbon emissions 'flat or falling' in 2025: analysis
China's emissions of planet-warming carbon dioxide were "flat or falling" in 2025, analysis showed Thursday, but progress remains fragile and it is not yet clear that emissions have peaked.

TIL: DeHavilland Dash 8 aircraft have a much larger range than I thought. Just noticed an Air Canada Jazz flight from Vancouver to Winnipeg (JZA7110). That's about 1900km.
I look because turbo-props like the DH8 (aka Q400) are more fuel efficient and have lower CO2 emissions than jets. They also fly lower, generally around 20 - 25,000ft, so lessen the stratospheric pollution vs. 30-40,000ft.

Climate engineering would alter the oceans, reshaping marine life. Our new study examines each method's risks
Climate change is already fueling dangerous heat waves, raising sea levels and transforming the oceans. Even if countries meet their pledges to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions that are driving climate change, global warming will exceed what many ecosystems can safely handle.
