  Microsoft significantly reduced its carbon removal purchases by 80% in the first half of 2026. Microsoft bought 93% of all the carbon removal credits globally last year. This is absurd, and no way to determine which method might actually work and scale. Carbon dioxide removal research and development should be government-funded and government-led. https://www.seattletimes.com/business/microsoft-cuts-purchases-of-carbon-removals-by-80-amid-ai-push/

  Maybe this will finally get politicians to care about climate change: “The brutally hot summer is set to cost the EU economy €180 billion this year — that’s equivalent to roughly 1 percent of GDP, which is all the growth the bloc was expected to generate in 2026, according to new analysis.” https://www.politico.eu/article/europes-scorching-summer-could-erase-blocs-2026-growth/

  The ocean has absorbed more than 90% of the heat from global warming. Is anyone surprised that ocean temperatures are higher than ever recorded? https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/aug/10/global-seas-hottest-temperature-july-scientists?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=bluesky&CMP=bsky_gu

  Welp, I voted for the Democratic socialist candidate. I didn’t even know he was one since it’s non-partisan but his policies just made sense. Unfortunately, people don’t read and more people voted for the conservative candidate and the one that works for the scam company (Herbalife). 🤷🏻‍♂️ https://www.civilbeat.org/2026/08/honolulu-council-results-ozawa-and-gregory-head-to-general-election-for-waikiki-seat/

  Occidental Petroleum will begin operating the world’s largest carbon removal facility, Stratos, at the end of 2026. The facility is designed to remove up to 500,000 tonnes of CO₂ from the atmosphere annually. If it works, that's a time machine that will take us back by about 6 minutes each year. https://subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eenews/2026/08/07/worlds-largest-carbon-removal-plant-to-open-at-the-end-of-2026-cw-01027407

  We wrote a review paper about bubbles in the ocean, and then the lead author wrote a summary about the paper. Give it a read if you want to know how bubbles affect the exchange of gases between the atmosphere and the ocean. https://eos.org/editors-vox/how-bubbles-reshape-air-sea-gas-exchange

  Bogotá, Colombia, aims to achieve gender parity in cycling by 2039, as women currently account for only 28% of daily bicycle trips. The city is addressing barriers such as safety concerns and lack of cycling skills by building more protected bike lanes and offering cycling lessons. https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2026/aug/06/bikes-city-of-cycling-gender-barriers-colombias-capital-bogota-emissions?utm_term=Autofeed&CMP=bsky_gu&utm_medium=&utm_source=Bluesky#Echobox=178...

  The Trump regime admitted in court filings that the cancellation of clean energy grants for Hawaiʻi was because the state voted for Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election, rather than the previously stated reasons of advancing energy needs or economic viability. https://www.civilbeat.org/2026/08/trump-administration-lawyers-admit-hawaii-funding-cuts-were-partisan/

  Are we all in agreement that Trump made billions of dollars from crypto, not because it's a good way for everyone to make money and he's just smarter about it, but because it's a good way for him to scam his witless followers and accept bribes legally? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9iZ10yIRwM

  Replace your gas stoves with electric, preferably induction. The Trump regime canceled a $18 million EPA grant to study the impact of replacing gas stoves in 1,200 homes of asthma sufferers. The researchers published the results from 85 homes anyway, showing significant asthma relief for participants and highlighting the health impacts of gas stoves. https://wapo.st/4yQXZeg

  There's a lot to unpack in this article about ocean alkalinity enhancement. But the bottom line is that it is way too early to be selling credits for marine CO₂ removal (mCDR) when we don't have a trustworthy way to do carbon accounting for mCDR. 🌊🧪 https://carbon-pulse.com/530737/

  Not all Republicans are bad. Eddie Smith Jr., the owner of Grady-White Boats, instead of selling his company for $400 million, was inspired by Patagonia to transfer Grady-White’s voting stock to a purpose trust and the remaining shares to a nonprofit organization, ensuring all future profits go to charity. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/25/business/grady-white-boats-charity.html?unlocked_article_code=1.01A.WJRA.dD7XBU-u849M&smid=url-share
