Forests are basically charismatic megaflora — we like the idea of being in them and saving them and making more of them.

On Monday I griped about a Sustainability book I was sent for review. The sentence which made my heart drop was ‘basically speaking, Sustainability is a balance between environment, society and economy’ I ploughed on for another couple of chapters, but nothing appeared which made up for that dismal sentence so I gave up. This sustainability ‘balance is a myth’ It is often called ‘weak Sustainability’ and was popular 10-20 years ago.

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.

This summer's abnormally warm ocean temperatures are cooking mussels in their shells along the west coast of North America. Mussels are the proverbial canary in the coalmine, they are a foundation species and their well-being is indicative of the health of entire ecosystems.

It’s the personal, stupid. Every year, more and more Americans tell pollsters they believe in climate change, yet insufficient action has been taken by business and government to solve the problem. Welcome to the world of the communicating climate change action as seen by Americans of every stripe since Al Gore raised the profile of the issue in his 2000 campaign for the Presidency.
