More than 60 scientists issue dire warning that the Earth is careening toward catastrophe: 'Things are all moving in the wrong direction'

"We're seeing some unprecedented changes, and we're also seeing the heating of the Earth and sea-level rise accelerating as well.“
Alberta has quietly removed its regulatory ceiling gas flaring 
limit ...
... on the same day their tarsands production is expected to rise 5% this year. (Field operators burn "associated gas" during oil production, instead of building equipment & pipelines to capture it.)
Environment and Climate Change Canada’s latest emissions inventory report: climate pollution from oil sands production increased 143%, 2005 to 2023.
Meanwhile, wildfires

If you are really interested in #doing #something about #climatechange then reduce eating red meat, specifically, #beef
Makes one hell of a difference in terms of not just #GHG but also #land #water #air pollution.
As Mark Twain said, “There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.”
When it comes to #GHG emissions, Alberta’s UCP government selectively uses statistics to persuade the world of the ludicrous claim that Alberta is a climate change leader, writes Ian Urquhart.
Earth is more sensitive to greenhouse gases than we thought
Our climate seems to be more sensitive to greenhouse gas emissions than some researchers had hoped, meaning the world will have to up its decarbonisation efforts…
"There's no real desire in many governments to actually limit Russia's ability to produce and sell oil. There is way too much fear about what that would mean for global energy markets."
The day it opens, LNG Canada will become B.C.‘s largest point-source emitter of #GHG, while increased gas production across the entire supply chain will also add to B.C.’s emission totals.
This and other LNG projects guarantee B.C. will fail to meet its legislated emission targets. Marc Lee writes.
#News: 
Cutting greenhouse #GHG emissions isn’t just about #climate—it saves lives. Study shows 250,000 deaths from #airpollution could be prevented annually in Europe by 2050 with drastic emission reductions. #ClimateActionNow #AirQuality #PublicHealth https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/05/250506105342.htm?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=Palm+Oil+Detectives&utm_campaign=publer
@jik @davidaugust ... and let's not forget if fossil fuel prices drop due to a recession we certainly will have Russia's economy is going to hurt even more than it already is. As added bonus lower economic activity means fewer #GHG emissions ... #TrumpLowersGHG inadvertently
@inthehands I had no idea that Tesla was selling carbon credits. Carbon credits are a scam for corporations to avoid reducing greenhouse gas #GHG emissions. That’s it. So yes, this idea should go away. However, if a company can demonstrate that they are in fact sequestering significant amounts of GHG, then this should be rewarded in some way, but not at the expense of greater emissions by some other company. The book, “Ministry of the Future” by Kim Stanley Robinson has some good ideas along this line and lots of others too.

It is very important to ask three questions:
1.) How do spaceship and satellite launches impact our environment, in particular the #thermosphere?
https://mastodon.social/@HistoPol/113295593037140652
2.) Who is the main culprit of this unsustainable development in orbit? (see below)
https://mastodon.social/@HistoPol/111141586398331386
(Translation: see #AltText)
3.) How do we combat it?
The news has been more than a bit grim of late, so hooray for Carbon Brief providing some genuine and really meaningful **good** news: the UK's carbon emissions in 2024 were the lowest since 1872, because demand for fossil fuels just keeps decreasing.
Net-zero homes are touted as a solution for climate change, but they remain out of reach for most

We would halve #methane emissions from North America if we cut cattle by half
A most efficient path would be to target #USA because the headcount is biggest and because each bovine emits most if bred the American way. Same as in Brazil: https://mas.to/@maugendre/113992940508282754

Greenhouse gas from livestock digestion in Equatorial Climates
Along the Equator, it mainly is sheep and bovines that account for methane emissions.
The biggest producers are Ethiopia and Sudan (South Sudan included).
