"By 2051, emissions from coal mining on federal lands could drop by 86%"
#US #USA #America #Emissions

By 2051, emissions from coal mining on federal lands could drop by 86%
Federal lands—which make up about 640 million acres, or 28%, of U.S. soil—are used for many purposes, including conservation, recreation, and extraction of resources such as coal. Greenhouse gas emissions are released throughout the life cycle of coal use, including during its mining, transport, and combustion.

Confirmed: another big jump in atmospheric CO2 concentration. The June average at Mauna Loa was 429.6 ppm, that's 2.7 ppm more than last year!

Mercury Emissions Fall 70% Over the Last Four Decades Thanks to UN Treaty, Coal Phase-Out
A study examining mercury concentrations in the leaves of alpine plants has revealed that humanity has reduced worldwide exposure to this most toxic of heavy metals substantially. Controlled via a UN treaty called the Minamata Convention on Mercury Emissions, mercury (Hg) enters the atmosphere through a variety of natural and anthropogenic avenues. Artisanal and small-scale […]

After stabilizing around 2000-2005, atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gas methane started to rise again, accelerating until a few years ago.
At least the increase seems to be slowing down since 2021.

"Most carbon taxes are not designed to lower carbon emissions, study finds"

Most carbon taxes are not designed to lower carbon emissions, study finds
Carbon taxes are widely seen as one of the most effective policy options for reducing emissions. However, the main rationale behind initially low carbon taxes is often not to reduce emissions but to generate tax revenues or meet international expectations, according to a study published in One Earth. As noted by the authors, the observations cast doubt on whether carbon taxes should always be viewed as climate policies.

The @noaa.gov site is slow to publish the June average of atmospheric CO₂. In these times of Trump's war on climate science (building and staff already affected), this makes me worry about the end of the Keeling curve, the valuable record of 67 years. Daily measurements still coming in, though.

Carbon 'offsets' aren't working: Researchers offer a 'roadmap' to improve nature-based climate solutions
A lot of the climate-altering carbon pollution humans release into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels gets drawn into the Earth's oceans and landscapes through natural processes, mostly through photosynthesis, as plants turn atmospheric carbon dioxide into biomass.
