    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,...

  10. Rock Weathering Can Counteract River CO2 Emissions Induced By Permafrost Thaw

    “[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…”

  11. "Alongside the mobility hubs, the [Monterey County Zero Emissions Shared Mobility] study recommends creating #eBikeLibraries, which provide free or low-cost long-term lending for those who can’t afford an e-bike of their own. The study says the libraries would be ideal for farmworker communities and those with physical limitations who would benefit from a bike with an electric assist. The estimated startup cost for a library with a small fleet of e-bikes is about $282,000.”—Aric Sleeper, #MontereyCountyNow

  13. The Monterey County seat and its largest city, Salinas, was selected as one of 13 projects throughout California to receive #ActiveTransportation Program (ATP) funds intended to improve walking and biking routes in disadvantaged communities. ksbw.com/article/salinas-award

    The Active Transportation Program is the state's only dedicated funding source for walking and biking
    projects. "With a reduced funding level of $168.7 million, the Commission faced an unprecedented shortfall in funding for its most oversubscribed competitive program that is critical to meeting the state’s #climate, #safety, and #equity goals. The Commission received 277 project applications requesting $2.5 billion in funds for the 2025 program cycle – about 15 times the $168.7 million that is available.” The #Salinas application received a perfect score.

  15. We celebrate the 9/25/24 signing of California #AB3233, as well as #AB1866 and #AB2716, by CA Governor Newsom. “It was #Chevron that sued #Monterey County and a voter initiative,” as the Governor stated at 22:07 in the signing ceremony. youtube.com/live/J2sAAls_Ljc?s

    Full ceremony, including intro by #Physicians for #SocialResponsibility: youtube.com/live/J2sAAls_Ljc?s Thanks to the Governor, and to the Center for #Biological #Diversity, Protect Monterey County, and others in the broad coalition, e.g., bikemonterey.org/californias-l, who stood up to the #oil and #gas industry to accomplish this win for people and planet.

  16. Couldn't decide whether it is worth reading any further this #NatureJournal article.

    "Simple steps could shrink US beef industry’s carbon #hoofprint. #BeefProduction accounts for 3% of country’s #CarbonEmissions, but measures such as tree-planting offer help." 🙄

    First of, #cattle carbon emission, if you factor in everything, are surely higher than 3%

    Second: planting trees? Really???

    Publishing such ridiculous claims as science? I'm baffled.

  17. 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.

  19. Feeling really uncomfortable using #twitter after recent developments. Decided to give #mastodon and #academicmastodon a proper shot.

    So here is my small #introduction ☺️ I am a #phdstudent currently at LUT Uni #Finland 🇫🇮. In my research I am focusing on #networkanalysis in the context of #supplymanagement.

    In my latest project I am studying the relationship between firms’ #growthpatterns and their #carbonemissions in #aerospace network.

    I will be very happy to find a new connections here ☺️
