I was quoted in this article about climate impacts of coffee
www.nytimes.com/2025/12/03/c...
As I (and the other experts) said, CO2 emissions from coffee itself are relatively small. So here’s an idea: drink as much coffee as you want, and when you are good and awake, go learn about heat pumps.

Surprising no one … more evidence that it is far more effective to keep CO2 out of the atmosphere than to try to remove it.
"The cost of removing large quantities of CO2 from the air will fall in the medium term, but not as much as previously hoped.
This is the conclusion reached by @ethz.ch researchers on the basis of new calculations. Efforts to reduce carbon emissions should therefore continue at pace"

Why are forests and farming in Southeast Asia so critical to climate change? If you’re ready to act strategically on climate, read our latest report: “A Drawdown Roadmap for Food, Agriculture, and Land Use in SE Asia”

The Trump Administration just issued a new order trying to kill solar and wind because they allegedly use too much land. But somehow this new fervor for "capacity density" won't apply to ethanol, which uses 100X as much land as solar per unit of energy.

Cameron is a great speaker - he shares lots of big picture observations and at the same time draws conclusions based on his mastery of the details - I’m sure this talk on low-carbon transportation will be worthwhile.
📣 Drawdown Briefings on Transportation... Discussions about low-carbon transportation are often dominated by new technologies. But we already have a whole suite of proven low-carbon mobility technologies.

New article (based on book by @mikegrunwald.bsky.social) on impacts of agriculture. Come for the big picture overview. Stay for the new caloric production metric: Olive Garden breadsticks per person per day.
2 of every 5 acres of the planet are cropped or grazed.
We lose a soccer field of forest every 6 seconds.
Agricultural sprawl has overrun 30 times more of the global landscape than urban sprawl.
WE ARE EATING THE EARTH.

This is cool: scientists have developed a new high-yielding, low-methane variety of rice. 🧪
Rice paddies, like cows, spew methane. A new variety makes them a lot less gassy.
Rice plants are a big source of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Scientists just developed a strain that cuts those emissions by 70 percent.

Very interesting thread by @matthewhayek.bsky.social. Special bonus: engagement with Matthew’s commentary by @mikegrunwald.bsky.social
This article was written to inflame +gloss over corollary issues. It worked & drummed up controversy. But the science behind its thesis is not controversial, nor novel--intensification spares land & GHGs relative to extensive ag. Some thoughts on what this misses 🧵 www.nytimes.com/2024/12/13/o...
Opinion | Sorry, but This Is the Future of Food
Every farm, even the scenic ones with red barns and rolling hills, is a kind of environmental crime scene, an echo of whatever wilderness it once replaced.
