Source: PBS News Hour
In a first-of-its-kind report issued Wednesday, the United Nations has said that Earth has lost its chance to prevent some of the worst of global warming's harms. Now, the world must figure out how to get temperatures below the danger zone and back to safety, officials warn. Earth is soon going to exceed the safe temperature threshold agreed upon by the world in the 2015 Paris climate agreement because of warming from the burning of coal, oil,...

Rock Weathering Can Counteract River CO2 Emissions Induced By Permafrost Thaw

H/T @aaron Bufe
“[The researchers] measured carbon emissions and water chemistry in 50 headwater rivers draining 780,000 km² of the Tibetan Plateau.
The rivers flow in landscapes underlain by continuous permafrost and landscapes in which the permafrost has retreated since the last glacial maximum. They collect[ed] organic carbon from soils and dissolved inorganic carbon that is fixed by rock-weathering.
Where the permafrost cover is continuous, rivers emit CO2 from degrading (permafrost) soil carbon. Weathering reactions in these catchments are relatively slow.
In landscapes with (almost) no permafrost, carbon fluxes from weathering are faster than CO2 emissions from rivers.
Thus, as permafrost landscapes transition to landscapes without permafrost cover, chemical weathering reactions may play an ever more important role in riverine carbon cycling.
Interestingly, weathering can affect the carbon cycle in different ways. Where sulfide minerals are present, weathering reactions can emit CO2. Where silicate minerals dominate, weathering draws down CO2 from the atmosphere…”

“Climate-induced permafrost thaw unlocks large stores of organic carbon that are mineralized and emitted as carbon dioxide (CO2) from rivers to the atmosphere. Concurrently, warming and permafrost thaw can increase mineral weathering rates, thus affecting the release and sequestration of inorganic carbon. Yet how these biological and geological carbon cycles interact and jointly affect CO2 dynamics (emission compared with drawdown) in permafrost rivers remains unknown. Here [they] combine[d] CO2 emissions, organic and inorganic solute concentrations, dual carbon isotopes (δ13C–Δ14C) and geochemical modelling to infer how permafrost thaw may affect river biogeochemistry over decades to centuries across the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau. Leveraging a gradient of thermal permafrost degradation, we find that river CO2 emissions decline, whereas solute fluxes from rock weathering increase with decreasing permafrost cover. Across this region, net CO2 drawdown fluxes from rock weathering are about 35% of river CO2 emissions, varying from around 15% in catchments with continuous permafrost to more than 100% in catchments with discontinuous or isolated permafrost. Thus, carbon fluxes from chemical weathering may become increasingly important with ongoing permafrost thaw, potentially even outpacing river CO2 emissions. [Their] findings disentangle the interplay between biological and geological carbon fluxes that are important for the cryosphere and the global carbon cycle…”

love both #energyStorage and #sand :,D
"#PolarNightEnergy has built an industrial-scale sand battery in Pornainen #Finland. The #battery is set to reduce #carbonemissions from the local #heating network by as much as 70%. At 42 feet tall and 50 feet wide, the battery can store up to 100 MWh, enough to heat the whole town for a week. The #sandbattery can hold a charge for months at a time, helping balance the energy #grid during periods of high demand."

It’s no surprise that big #polluting companies are not happy about annual #CarbonTax increases. But it is #unfair that #BritishColumbians must pay the full carbon tax when the #OilAndGas industry, whose production is responsible for more than one-quarter of #BritishColumbia #CarbonEmissions, gets a carbon #TaxBreak.
The new system will also have a negative impact on B.C.’s carbon #TaxRevenues. In 2024-25, carbon tax revenues will be about $500 million lower than they would have been under the old system. This #RevenueLoss means fewer dollars to pay for #ClimateAction.
These changes point to a #BCgovernment that is far too cosy with the oil and gas #industry. And they make no sense given the urgency of acting on #ClimateChange. #Disasters in 2021 alone caused between $11 billion and $16 billion in damage to the #BCeconomy.
If B.C. really wants to be a #climate leader, the government must stop pandering to lobbying by the oil and gas industry that is causing climate change and act in the interests of all British Columbians

Still more reason to eat the rich:
Richest 1% account for more carbon emissions than poorest 66%, report says

“We aim to help our customers and consumers save CO2 – for example by washing at lower temperatures or by switching to haircare products that do not need to be rinsed out and so do not require water to be heated up.“
If I get this right, my not rinsing out the shampoo will stop climate change and save the planet. Well done, #Henkel. Makes me wanna put a bullet through my head for translating that #PurposefulGrowth bullshit agenda of yours.

"#Australia is one of the most #urbanized countries in the world, meaning nearly 90% of us live in cities with access to extensive cycling paths ... New research suggests that using #ebikes instead of cars can cut millions of tonnes of #carbonemissions each year."

What would happen in #GreaterManchester if the spatial plan 'Places for Everyone' were to be implemented?
Could GM stay within its carbon budget?
Could it make a fair contribution to the nationally legislated net zero target?
We ran the numbers, trying our best to be fair and rigorous.
It's not a pretty picture.

When 700 self-described “climate rebels” breached the chain-link fence surrounding Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport on November 5, they went for climate change’s jugular: self-indulgent carbon-spewing.
