By Turning Themselves to Stone, These Remarkable Fig Trees Sequester CO2 Far Longer Than Normal
The inorganic carbon in calcium carbonate typically has a much longer lifetime in the soil than organic carbon

Congratulations on the retirement of Bill Curry after 13 years as head of the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences, following an already amazing, full career at Wood's Hole Oceanographic Insitution where he was a leader in marine geology, #climate and #carbon cycling research.

Only 3 years left: The carbon budget for 1. 5 °C is almost gone #carbon

At current emission rates, we re just over three years away from blowing through the remaining carbon budget to limit warming to 1.5 C. This new international study paints a stark picture: the pace of climate change is accelerating, seas are rising faster than ever, and the Earth is absorbing more heat with devastating consequences from hotter oceans to intensified weather extremes.

Carbon Capture ‘Not Going to Happen,’ Top Fossil Fuel Advocate Predicts
In audio obtained by DeSmog, Bjorn Lomborg told a Fraser Institute event in Vancouver that the technology is way too expensive to be viable.

"Breaching the target would ramp up the extreme weather already devastating communities around the world. It would also require carbon dioxide to be sucked from the atmosphere in future to restore the stable climate in which the whole of civilisation developed over the past 10,000 years."
This is bogus. Carbon-neutral #CarbonCaptureAndStorage is the modern perpetual…

‘World’s largest’ carbon credit deal under fire as Amazon prosecutors seek repeal
A Brazilian state was set to close a massive $180 million carbon credit deal, but now faces an escalating legal battle, accused of violating national laws and Indigenous rights, potentially ruining the project.
