  2. The industry adds €65 billion to the European economy, but is its bad reputation fair?

    In recent years, we’ve seen demonstrations at ports across Europe against the cruise industry over environmental and overtourism concerns.

    The cruise industry is attracting younger travellers, but how is it addressing concerns over emissions and overtourism?

  4. The Guardian: Corporations claim their fossil fuel emissions are a drop in the ocean. But what if we could count the real cost?. “The tool can be used to estimate the impact of carbon dioxide emissions from any project, company or state – or for any known amount of emissions – across eight different factors including the loss of labour hours due to excess heat, the loss of glaciers, the […]

    “Deep beneath the seemingly still surface of the world’s peatlands lies one of the planet’s most consequential plumbing systems. These waterlogged landscapes cover only about three percent of the global land surface, yet they store more carbon than all terrestrial biomass combined. When they are drained for forestry, agriculture, or peat extraction, the falling water table exposes ancient organic matter to oxygen, accelerating decomposition and releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Estimates suggest that every centimetre of water-table decline adds roughly 0.3 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per hectare per year, a relationship that has transformed many drained peatlands from net carbon sinks into persistent carbon sources. Rewetting through ditch blocking and damming has therefore become a cornerstone of climate mitigation policy, enshrined in initiatives such as the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration and the European Union’s legally binding Nature Restoration Law. But a fundamental question has haunted restoration practitioners for decades: when you block a ditch, how far does the benefit actually spread?...”
    “A new study [link above] offers the most mechanistically complete answer yet. [T]he research used a fully integrated three-dimensional physics-based model called HydroGeoSphere to simulate how rewetting propagates through a boreal fen… Unlike the sparse point measurements that dominate conventional restoration assessments, the model resolved water-table dynamics across the entire 224-hectare mire and its 556-hectare headwater catchment at daily resolution over a full hydrological year, generating millions of spatially explicit data points that no field campaign could ever collect…”

  13. "Oil companies produce the most carbon emissions" is as short sighted as "China produces the most emissions per capita" (which is a myth anyway btw ) its more complicated than that you have to look at who the oil is refined for.

    'our central finding is that the climate impact of subsea data transmission is significantly lower than previously assumed, which can help recalibrate how ICT-sector emissions are calculated as global network traffic accelerates. Subsea cables contrast sharply with mobile- and satellite-based systems, whose emissions are substantially higher'

  17. This is as close as we plan to get this year to “Car Week” events. Did errands in Monterey today, ready to stay out of all high traffic areas through Aug 16. How we feel about these 10 days of #car events, which reportedly bring 100,000+ visitors to Monterey County: bikemonterey.org/reflecting-on.

  19. And, which countries/regions are the world’s highest emitters #CarbonEmissions? Reported 2022, but the emission numbers are 🤯 -- which contribute to #ExtremeWeather #wildfires

    "Once heat trapping gases get into the atmosphere, the effects are global. Trapping the sun’s energy doesn’t stop at national borders."

    "Carbon dioxide stays in the atmosphere for as much as 200 years or longer. So historic emissions matter."

  20. I will likely never own or drive a fossil-fueled car. Why? Not only cars are money-wasting machines and a pain in the ass to park, but also the private ownership of fossil-fueled cars is the biggest attributable source of carbon emissions.

    "Guardian analysis found that the eight listed oil producers made almost $93bn (£69bn) in the three months to the end of June – the first full financial quarter after the US-Israeli war on Iran triggered a surge in global oil prices to highs above $126 a barrel.

    The companies have used the biggest disruption of fossil fuel supplies in the market’s history to almost double their combined profits from just under $50bn in the same period last year, with campaigners warning that millions of households are left paying the price in higher bills and climate chaos.

    The data suggests the eight oil companies – Aramco, BP, Shell, Equinor, TotalEnergies, Eni, Chevron and ExxonMobil – made more than $700,000 of profit every minute over the spring quarter.

    While their market valuations were swelling by about $600bn to above $3tn, temperatures built towards a run of deadly heatwaves, all made more likely and more severe by burning fossil fuels.

    Carbon emissions from the world’s biggest fossil fuel firms were directly linked to fatal spells of hot weather for the first time by scientific analysis published last September. It found the emissions from any one of the 14 biggest companies were each enough to cause more than 50 heatwaves that would otherwise have been virtually impossible."

  22. Metal mining greatly increases the surface area of sulfide minerals that are exposed to weathering (mine surfaces and waste from crushed ore), and weathering of those minerals produces sulfuric acid. A new study estimates that the long-term carbon footprint of neutralizing acid mine drainage will be many times higher than that of the mining itself.
