"If emissions reductions of 20% to 30% were sustained for six to 12 months, then the rate of increase of CO2 measured at Mauna Loa would slow"

In one of the first studies to explicitly account for fragmentation in tropical forests, researchers report that smaller fragments of old-growth forests and protected areas experienced greater losses than larger fragments, between 2001 and 2018. https://t.co/3Hl7jhh2wK

Just added @billmckibben's insightful "The Climate Crisis" newsletter to the list!

Thanks for your ongoing, amazing work Bill. I especially like the "Passing the Mic" section.

“We have lost the biological function of soils. We have got to reverse that,”

“If we do it, we are turning the land into the big part of the solution for climate change.”

Combining different sources of #renewableenergy is important to meet energy demands and ultimately decoupling from #carbon-based electricity. Floating solar panels appear to be a promising approach! via @sciam

Although it is common to classify people either as #believers or #deniers of #ClimateChange, there's a lot more going on in the gray area. Learn about other groups and how they behave here (via @YaleClimateComm):

The second sentence here is nothing short of terrifying: “We’ve found that one of the most worrying impacts of climate change has already begun,” said professor Simon Lewis. “This is decades ahead of even the most pessimistic climate models.” https://t.co/htCdy3Scry

Our new comment in @nature highlights the "lost decade" since we started measuring the emissions gap in 2010 https://t.co/MoGpazUBqr

Development and improvement of energy storage is a fundamental step towards widespread #renewables.

[Nature Portfolio @NaturePortfolio]

A technique based on the principles of MRI has allowed researchers to observe not only how next-generation batteries for large-scale energy storage work, but also how they fail. Their findings are reported in Nature. https://t.co/W6HJlG8lVr

More than 70% of all #plastic bottles are not #recycled in the #US. This has to change and we have a plan with @loop_ze. Stay tuned.

[James Murray @James_BG]

UK emissions are down. By a lot. Always worth remembering there are people who are still taken seriously who insisted such emissions reduction were impossible without impoverishing the UK. https://t.co/7waE4kXYJy
