Ocean-based sequestration heats ups

GreenBiz

That’s why one recent survey recorded almost $160 million spent on forest offsets in 2019. Yet another natural sink absorbs about as much carbon dioxide as our planet’s soils and forests combined: the world’s coastal and ocean waters. Once it goes down below 1,000 meters, it’s not coming back up, because the pressures are so great.

The answer to climate-killing cow farts may come from the sea

They soon discovered that static electricity had caused entrapped methane from the flatulence and manure of 90 dairy cows to explode. It can reverse ocean acidification by absorbing carbon dioxide. CEO Josh Goldman is excited about feeding his underwater crop to cows: “You don’t have to rebuild 10,000 power plants in the world.

Now, it serves a dual purpose, carrying scientists and volunteers on weekends and in off-hours to monitor the coral they’re working to save. We already knew in December 2019 that the bleaching was coming,” Fernandes said, “but we didn’t have the power then to do anything about it, to protect what we had already saved.”.

Every region of the country is taking climate action. Here’s how.

Grist

States, cities, businesses, and organizations across the country are taking increasingly large steps to reduce emissions — and those efforts are aided by the falling costs of renewable energy and other decarbonizing technologies. Between 2005 and 2019, greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. decreased by 12 percent.
