(sidetrack: I’m sure I’m not the first to consider the concept of *fertilizing* the ocean with iron and phosphates, etc. as a mechanism to pull #carbon from the ocean via #phytoplankton; this study might suggest efficacy)

"The waters in the open ocean of the Pacific are nutrient depleted and the addition of volcanic ash, especially iron in the ash, and to a lesser extent other trace elements and possibly phosphate, can stimulate the growth of marine phytoplankton…"

In a historic first, in #US in #2024, #wind and #solar accounted for 17% of total electricity generation, surpassing #coal, which fell to a record low of 15%, according to a new report from global energy think tank Ember.
Despite growing #emissions, the #carbon intensity of #electricity continued to decline. The rise in power demand was much faster than the rise in power sector #CO2 emissions, making each unit of electricity likely the cleanest it has ever been.

The World surpasses 40% clean electricity with Europe leading as a 'solar superpower'.

The world generated more than 40% of its electricity from low-carbon sources in 2024, for the EU it's 71%.

Solar energy is soaring in a targeted race to build an entirely clean electricity system. Solar in the EU almost doubled in the three years to 2024 to account for 11% of electricity.

No more #clearcutting in #Dutch #forests fern.org/publications-insight/

Received wisdom in #Silviculture is that #Clearfell or #Clearcut coupes mimic nature in #fireclimax habitats. While I agree clearcut / restock can be brutal & we are heavily over-reliant on the system, it seems 'bold' to outlaw it entirely, regardless of scale. Surely local production and 'better' rather than 'less' silviculture would provide #timber for less #carbon intensive #building solutions

This story about #Glasgow City Council's carbon-based #parking permits scheme mentions that "Private vehicles are currently the largest source of #carbon emissions in the city’s #transport system". That must be because almost all commuter #trains are electric, and most of the #buses, too
