Brent crude oil just hit $144.42 a barrel, its highest level on record, thanks to Trump's disastrous war of choice.
If only there were other means of generating energy besides fossil fuels
"I think spite is actually a great motivation to not give up. You look at who wants you to despair. Look at those people. Do you like those people? Do you want to make those people happy? Absolutely not.
"Oh, you want me to despair? Fuck you."

first time really tuning into a war? welcome. Let’s go over some rules of how to behave.
These are going to be especially important if it’s a war you oppose.
1. You are allowed an opinion. This is America. Whether you served or not. It’s done in your name so might as well speak up.

The Trump budget once again proposes to eliminate NOAA OAR, which brings you the CO₂ Keeling Curve. In this piece, I argued that the Keeling Curve is a treasure that belongs to humanity as the most poignant indication of our impact on the environment and as a testament to our ability to document it.
Meanwhile, here on Earth... we could power data centers AND create clean, renewable energy for ourselves... techcrunch.com/2026/03/04/w...
I am one of those in the area who is mourning this loss. I loved seeing the turbines on drives to some favorite beaches, and local businesses at the tip of Cape Ann. What a sad loss for the residents - environmentally and economically. www.canarymedia.com/articles/win... via @canarymedia.com

It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.
Timeline cleanse!
Great write up by @dechant.bsky.social in @techcrunch.com
Been amazing to witness @skannerdarkly.bsky.social and team at Aikido navigate the last year. Result is equal parts innovation, inspiration, determination, and just maybe excellent timing for a world that is growing more geopolitically hostile, while requiring more and more energy…
We invested in Aikido because they’re moving the compute to the coast. 🌊
By combining a 15MW turbine with a modular data center, we solve the two biggest bottlenecks in AI: Energy and Cooling.
No more fighting for city grid space. Just sovereign, sustainable power at sea.
Call US Senators and tell them to vote against the SAVE Act. It has already passed the US House. In its current form, it means that 100 years after women earned the right to vote, we are facing down the implementation of a 21st century poll tax for women.

Every step in offshore oil and gas drilling presents a threat to our coastal and ocean environment and our tourism and recreation economy. In California alone we have a long record of spills that demonstrate this. Here's a list of the major spills...
Our built environment isn't ready for the changes we've made to our natural environment.
With a mixed-results at COP30 - i.e. good intentions but no concrete plans for the “transition away from fossil fuels” - don’t give up.
Let’s remember the progress made since the Paris Agreement and the options ahead of us. That’s the message of the image below
A cartoon depicts a man and a woman walking side by side on a street. The woman wears a stylish dress and holds a purse, while the man is in a suit. The caption reads, "My desire to be well-informed is currently at odds with my desire to remain sane.”

“Why do I need NOAA? I’ve got a weather app.”
Is equivalent to asking
“Why do I need farms? I can go to the supermarket.”

A line graph showing atmospheric CO2 levels at Mauna Loa Observatory from 1955 to 2025. The y-axis represents CO2 mole fraction in parts per million (ppm), ranging from 320 to 420 ppm, while the x-axis is years.
The most iconic figure in the environmental sciences is the Keeling Curve, the CO₂ record from Mauna Loa, Hawaii.
@noaa.gov had a wonderful site where you could visualize and download these data, and now it's just gone. These data belong to us and we should not let this happen!
🎯
Annual must-read.
Grateful for your service to our country!
Of course, our inboxes are always open to meeting more founders working at the center or at the edges of our ocean-climate thesis. Hit us up!
