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 carbonbrief.org/daily-brief/st

Results: [USA] women who used their wood-burning fireplace/stove ≥30 days/year had an elevated rate of lung doi.org/10.1016/j.envint.2023.

fertilisers contribute less than 3 per cent of Australia's emissions each year.

"In Australia,.. [that's] about 14 million tonnes of 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 fertilisers, you don't get those same greenhouse gases on farm, but they still have an energy footprint.“

"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."

The Biden administration will spend $1.2B to help build the nation's first two commercial-scale plants to vacuum 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. archive.ph/Yc5CS

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