Blue-Green algae is filling rivers with toxic sludge.
Harmful algal blooms are taking over as the world warms and grows richer in carbon dioxide—and there’s no easy fix.
“It’s starting to build. Tomorrow, you’ll find that there’s clumps like that all over the river—and then the day after that there’ll be more and more”.

Do you believe that wanting to burn wood is sensible?
The evidence says it's not!
Stop burning trees to make energy, say 650 scientists before Cop15 biodiversity summit https://www.carbonbrief.org/daily-brief/stop-burning-trees-to-make-energy-say-650-scientists-before-cop15-biodiversity-summit/

“#nitrogen fertilisers contribute less than 3 per cent of Australia's #GreenhouseGas emissions each year.
"In Australia,.. [that's] about 14 million tonnes of #CarbonDioxide equivalence a year. So that's a few per cent of our total emissions … it's significant, but it's not a massive contributor like say, our electricity system,"
"[With] other fertilisers such as #phosphate fertilisers, you don't get those same greenhouse gases on farm, but they still have an energy footprint.“

I was born at 354.29 ppm CO2.
Today we have 416.43 ppm CO2 in atmosphere.

"If coal and natural gas power generation were 2% more efficient, then every year, there could be 460 million fewer tons of carbon dioxide released and 2 trillion fewer gallons of water used. A recent innovation to the steam cycle used in fossil fuel power generation could achieve this."

🧾A new landmark treaty focused on conservation & sustainable use of marine biological known as the Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction – was agreed to in March.
The article argues that the BBNJ treaty could have substantial implications for the future of ocean-based #carbondioxide removal methods testing & deployment.

The Biden administration will spend $1.2B to help build the nation's first two commercial-scale plants to vacuum #carbondioxide #pollution from the atmosphere, a nascent technology that some scientists say could be a breakthrough in the fight against global warming, but that others fear is an extravagant boondoggle, and environmentalists have criticized the approach. https://archive.ph/Yc5CS
The other #greenhousegas. How #methane from #foodwaste contributes to #globalwarming and why small efforts to stop it can make a big difference. Over time, food is buried under other #waste and #decomposes in #anaerobic conditions (without access to oxygen), creating a favorable environment for #bacteria that produce #methane, a greenhouse gas 28 times stronger than #carbondioxide over a 100-year period. https://www.reuters.com/graphics/FOOD-WASTE/METHANE/gdpzwqwqovw/

The result of massive #fire seasons over the past few decades is that #Canada’s #forests now release extreme amounts of #CO2.
What used to be important carbon sinks are now carbon sources and part of a dangerous #feedback loop.

Rising #methane could be sign that #Earth's #climate is part way through 'termination-level transition.' Since 2006, the amount of heat-trapping methane in Earth's #atmosphere has been rising fast and, unlike the rise in #carbondioxide (CO₂), methane's recent increase seems to be driven by biological #emissions, not burning of #fossilfuels. Methane was about 0.7ppm of the air before humans began burning fossil fuels. Now it is over 1.9ppm and rising fast. https://phys.org/news/2023-08-methane-earth-climate-termination-level-transition.html #climatecrisis
