#Carbon fibers is a pretty cool material and brought so many improvements to modern #sailing, such as #foiling.
Buuuuuut ... it's also sometimes quite fragile 🙃

Hopefully the #NewZealand F50 crew is safe and sound.

#Webb Discovers #Methane, Carbon Dioxide in Atmosphere of K2-18 b
"The abundance of methane and #carbon dioxide, and shortage of ammonia, support the hypothesis that there may be a water #ocean underneath a hydrogen-rich #atmosphere in K2-18 b. These ... observations also provided a possible detection of a molecule called ... DMS. On #Earth, this is only produced by #life. The bulk of the DMS in Earth’s atmosphere is emitted from phytoplankton in marine environments."

Of course #carbon #offsets are not working. Carbon has been accumulated in the ground for billions of years, and we burn them in a rate way faster. There is only so much carbon that trees can store.

If #Corporations Bore the True Cost of Their #Emissions, They’d Owe Trillions
And that doesn’t even include “downstream” #carbon spewing.
The true cost of #climate #pollution? 44% of corporate profits.
Yet governments are still pouring $7 trillion into subsidies for #fossilfuels. https://grist.org/economics/true-cost-carbon-pollution-half-of-corporate-profits-climate/

Congratulations! 🎉 Prof. Tatiana Ilyina (@TatianaIlyina), scientist and group leader of the Ocean Biogeochemistry group at our institute, was recently appointed a professorship at Universität Hamburg and @hereon. With her new cross-institutional working group she will address new frontiers in modeling the #carbon cycle in the #Earth system. 🌊

The #environmental Kuznets curve in reverse might stand as a general #metaphor: since conditions for accessing cheap and disciplined #labour power tend to be bound up with expanding #BusinessAsUsual, comparatively high #carbon intensity and increased #transport, #capital will shoot its arrows upwards and backwards, towards the summit of #degradation.- Andreas Malm, Fossil Capital: The Rise Of Steam Power and The Roots Of Global Warming.

Industries are "bleeding" out #plastic #pollution into the environment
Most plastics are derived from fossil fuel-based chemicals like natural gas or petroleum
If global trends on plastic demand continue, it is estimated that by 2050 annual global plastic production will reach over 1.1 billion tonnes (Wiki)
Plastic has a big #carbon footprint.
"The key message that people should take away is that the #p?PlasticsCrisis is a #ClimateCrisis hiding in plain sight," https://www.npr.org/2019/07/09/735848489/plastic-has-a-big-carbon-footprint-but-that-isnt-the-whole-story

Wood burning causes diseases, and is a significant source of #climate changing pollution.
Living trees absorb #CO2 from the air as part of the photosynthetic process & store the #carbon as cellulose and other carbon-containing carbohydrates
When #wood is burned, the CO2 that was absorbed over years while the tree was alive is released back into the atmosphere all at once (Adding more CO2)
For the same amount of energy, burning wood emits more CO2 than coal https://www.dsawsp.org/environment/climate
