Climate change inaction costs millions of lives each year, report warns
The 2025 Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change reveals that climate inaction and continued dependence on fossil fuels is resulting in an immense human cost, with millions of lives lost each year due to heat, air pollution, disease spread, and worsening food insecurity.

Study: There is less room to store carbon dioxide, driver of climate change, than previously thought
The world has far fewer places to securely store carbon dioxide deep underground than previously thought, steeply lowering its potential to help stem global warming, according to a new study that challenges long-held industry claims about the practice.

CCS does not look like you may think💨🏭
Carbon Capture and Storage is certainly one of the more controversial technologies to mitigate climate change.

The other is how actual CCS projects look in the real world.🧵
