Seaweed farms boost long-term carbon storage by altering ocean chemistry, study shows
Seaweeds are versatile algae. They are sources of food, medicine, and many other products, and they have the added benefit of being extremely efficient at removing CO2 from the atmosphere as they grow.

Economic growth no longer linked to carbon emissions in most of the world, study finds | Fossil fuels | The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/environment/…

US plans to exploit Venezuela’s oil reserves could by 2050 consume 🔥more than a tenth of the world’s remaining carbon budget to limit global heating to 1.5C, according to an exclusive analysis.
The calculation highlights how any moves to further exploit the
South American nation’s oil reserves
– the largest in the world,
at least on paper
– would put increasing pressure on climate goals,
and risk plunging the globe further into climate catastrophe.

Carpenter called away to an emergency leak elsewhere today. Trouble with having a carpenter who is also a plumber I guess. 😆
The frames for the window doors look to be mostly completed, the doors that will make the blinds are up (though probably presumably will come down again to have mirrors attached? Maybe?). Lots of holes in wood filled. Stupid natural products. MDF don't have no holes, or grain at all.
Trying to render an image big enough to fill the wall there. 2m x 1m. Keeps crashing my machine. Going to have to try and render it in bits or something.

Light pollution: The silent threat to the planet that's easily solved
New research has revealed for the first time the full extent of how "Artificial Light At Night" (ALAN) is increasing carbon released by plants and animals across continents—without any increase in the carbon they absorb. The result is reduced carbon storage in ecosystems—which has major implications for climate models and global carbon budgets.
