Zero-Emissions Ferryboat to Glide Commuters Up and Down Historic River in European Capital
Lithuania’s capital Vilnius recently debuted a new electric ferryboat for transit up and down the River Neris. Called the Lašiša, it joins a trend of electric ferryboats on the famous rivers and bays of Europe such as the Elbe or the Copenhagen harbor. Tickets can be bought online and through an app for just €3, […]

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.

Growing trees for shade has ‘enormous’ potential for cutting cocoa emissions - Carbon Brief
Growing tall trees to provide shade for cocoa plantations in west Africa could sequester millions of tonnes of carbon, according to a new study.

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.

Waste from Copper Plant Is Heating a German Waterfront Without Emitting CO2
Industrial processes create all kinds of elemental forces and smelting is probably just one of many that could utilize waste heat for heating

Atmospheric CO2, measured at Mauna Loa (still in operation), was up 2.5 ppm in August, compared to last year: 425.5 ppm vs 423.0.

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 […]

Global CO2 storage capacity may be drastically overstated, study finds
A new analysis suggests that the “prudent” storage available for carbon dioxide to head off further global warming is more limited than other recent estimates. Accounting for the risks associated with carbon capture and storage (CCS), the study found that stashing carbon underground in suitable locations would likely reduce warming by only about 0.7° Celsius […]

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.

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.

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.

Air quality analysis reveals minimal changes after xAI data center opens in pollution-burdened Memphis
Even before an Elon Musk-owned artificial intelligence company opened a data center in southwest Memphis, Tennessee, air pollution was so bad that residents of a nearby neighborhood were far more likely to get cancer from industrial air pollution than average Americans. Our analysis found that air pollution got only slightly worse as a result of the data center.
