Lobsters and acidic seas: can shellfish help neutralise one of the greatest threats to the ocean?
By Alexandra Talty in Cape Cod, MassachusettsCrustaceans are the subject of tests to see if alkalis added to seawater, so it absorbs more CO2, harm marine life. But Trump’s halt to funding threatens to scupper the research

Going to have to take a flight to go celebrate my daughter getting her master’s degree. From what I’ve understood most #carbonoffsetting schemes - especially those offered by airlines - are failures at best, and pure #greenwashing at worst.
Here’s me turning to the hive mind for good, independently vetted, science-based, verifiably effective in the long-term, community-oriented schemes to help wash away my sins. #askfedi -

EnergyAustralia apologises over offsets after #greenwashing lawsuit https://www.smh.com.au/environment/sustainability/energyaustralia-apologises-over-offsets-after-greenwashing-lawsuit-20250516-p5lzpd.html ““Today, #EnergyAustralia acknowledges that #carbonoffsetting is not the most effective way to assist customers to reduce their emissions and apologises to any customer who felt that the way it marketed its Go Neutral products was unclear,” it said. “Storing carbon in plants is not equivalent to keeping it stored in #fossilfuels (by not burning those fossil fuels in the first place).”
