Those new rockin' @Kars4kids radio ad spots are outstanding. And they should be, because they took in $99.9 million in 2023 and blew $39.6 million of it on marketing! If only there was a charity where 90% went to programs... oh wait... cotap.org/donate-your-ca…!

As Google's Scope 2 emissions explode 3x from 2020 to 3.1m tonnes, it teams up with a $30 million Series A for-profit. Not surprisingly, "Both companies declined to comment on the value of the deal." What $/% is going to participating rural communities?! reuters.com/sustainability…


"It’s time to put human welfare at the center of our climate strategies" - @BillGates. Hmmm... he might just be onto something! gatesnotes.com/home/home-page…

It’s not the temperature. It’s the vulnerability. Gates is spot on.

One of the most valuable points @billgates makes is this: "Temperature isn't the best way to measure progress on climate." Lots more on #sustainwhat: revkin.substack.com/p/cutting-carb… Back when I interviewed him in Seattle in 2016 his climate work was almost all emissions-focused, rather…

So there's active ethnic cleansing in Sudan as the U.S. announces a 2026 refugee ceiling of 7,500... down from 125,000 and now prioritizing white South Africans. Or maybe not? The next TACO Tuesday is coming up November 4th...

If direct air removal costs $500 per tonne, removing just US emissions would cost ~$3 trillion annually (~4x US military spending). It would also require twice the total power generation capacity of the US today (and it has to be carbon-free). thebulletin.org/2023/12/direct…

A new analysis by @SpaceIntell's Chief Scientist, @EdMitchard, and others, finds that the West et al. 2023 study on REDD+ projects contains serious flaws and unfairly discredits the impact of forest carbon projects. Read the paper and press release: bit.ly/48bRcNT #REDD
