A lot of people are trying to sell the world their favorite climate solution. But how can you tell if the proposed solution makes sense? How do you avoid hype, greenwashing, or just plain bad ideas? Check out the Drawdown Explorer.

This is good news for the Amazon and the planet.

This is worrisome…

This is gonna be great!

Congratulations to Jonathan Foley on eight years at Project Drawdown! Thank you for your years of dedication to our critical mission. Here’s to many more! 🎉

It's worth repeating what @drkatemarvel.bsky.social told me for this story: “Passing 1.5 degrees is a sign that we’re not moving fast enough, but it doesn’t mean we’re doomed."

A new WORTHWHILE ✅ solution is now live ➡️ Improve Building Envelopes "Improving building envelopes cuts GHG emissions by enhancing the thermal resistance of the building shell and reducing unwanted heat exchange between the external environment and indoor spaces."

“The right unit isn’t degrees; it’s tons — of carbon dioxide, methane, and other greenhouse gases. If we want to avoid the worst impacts, our task is and has always been to reduce these emissions as quickly as possible.” - @drkatemarvel.bsky.social @afreedma.bsky.social CNN: https://cnn.it/4sfoI0W

The climate misconception that @drkatemarvel.bsky.social corrects most often probably sounds very familiar to a lot of us who follow climate closely: The idea that climate solutions are boutique or out of reach. Listen to Kate's full interview with @climateone.org 👉 https://bit.ly/3U6xBgH

I’m so lucky to work at the best climate organization on Earth. It’s an honor to serve this team and the organization we have become in the last few years! Thank you!

Kate is amazing and always worth listening too!

Food is a major driver of climate change and a major opportunity to slow it. 🌱 This #WorldFoodDay, see how cutting food waste, protecting ecosystems, and more can help us feed the planet without destroying it. Explore the science and solutions: drawdown.org/food-and-climate #FixingFood

Just like Exxon knew about the impacts of climate change, the beef industry knew too. A new PLOS Climate study documents how the National Cattlemen’s Association (NCA), now NCBA, responded to evidence linking cattle methane to global warming from 1986–1996 (study 🔗 at end of 🧵)

When I was brand new at FC I got pitched a National Cattlemen's Beef Association white paper outlining the 'minimal environmental footprint of beef production in the US' and immediately called up @worldresources.bsky.social to get a sustainable food experts take: www.fastcompany.com/90431910/the...

Whenever i consider a complex, societal question, I often ask the DOLY test. “What would Dolly Parton think of this? “What would the Dalai Lama think of this?” Right answers, every time.

“Because methane has such a big impact on the climate in a short amount of time, the more we can reduce methane, it is like pulling the emergency brake on climate change,” @enviroem.bsky.social Read more from #APNews and Alexa St. John: https://bit.ly/470AUsY #compost

Because climate solutions are being implemented globally, the IPCC is ruling out the worst-case prediction of climate change, RCP 8.5. But that does not mean we are in the clear. 🔥 Listen to the full interview with @drkatemarvel.bsky.social in Heated: https://bit.ly/3VYuO9Y

Plug-in solar was approved in CA, and it's turning homes into a distributed network of tiny power plants. “It’s really ideal to use renewable electricity exactly where it’s generated.” - @amandadsmith.bsky.social, sr. scientist @mrmattsimon.bsky.social https://bit.ly/4xSqxCf #cleanenergy

Infuriating, but all too predictable…

Regenerative ag's GHG mitigation potential must consider impacts on yield & land-use New study iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1... A small yield penalty for regenerative crops—for otherwise low land use & high yield for direct consumption—is likely worth the tradeoff to protect long-term soil use

Universities should be safe for everyone. We need change.

I think the class of school administrators (not just in higher ed) who act fast to insulate core pedagogical functions from AI will reap major rewards for their trouble. In a few years, there will be an extremely stark difference between people who used AI in school and people who are competent
