This is so wrong. One NSF’s best investments is being destroyed.

A key solution to climate change isn't happening – and that's good Removing CO2 from the atmosphere by capturing the carbon from burning biomass is supposed to save the planet, but it looks like the flagship project will never happen

Electromaxxing With Daan Walter "It's all peanuts compared to solar."

“Every five days, the sun sends 50,000 exajoules. That's equivalent to all of the fossil reserves we have in the whole world,” said Ember’s Daan Walter ☀️

Daan joined the DER Task Force to talk about renewable energy’s endless abundance.

Don’t panic: A field guide to the runaway greenhouse the Earth may eventually turn into Venus, but not anytime soon

There is a lot to worry about with climate change, but "runaway" feedbacks are not one of them. Good piece by Andrew Dessler over at The Climate Brink on how climate feedbacks work and why the Earth is different from Venus:
