Countries could use forests to 'mask' needed emission cuts: Report.

Major economies are overstating how much carbon their forests can absorb in a climate accounting fudge that could allow them to use even more fossil fuels, new research said Thursday. phys.org/news/2025-04-countrie

'Cryosphere meltdown' will impact Arctic marine carbon cycles and ecosystems, new study warns

A new study led by Jochen Knies from the iC3 Polar Research Hub has found worrying signs that climate change may be undermining the capacity of #Arctic #fjords to serve as effective #carbon sinks. The findings suggest that the capacity of polar #oceans to remove carbon from the #atmosphere may be reduced as the world continues to heat up.

Knies and his collaborators discovered that rapid changes in the Arctic are transforming vibrant fjord ecosystems like Kongsfjorden in #Svalbard. Published in Communications Earth & Environment, their findings document not only a shift in phytoplankton communities due to melting ice but also a worrying decline in the capacity of these fjords to sequester carbon.

Warmer waters can enhance #phytoplankton growth during sunlit summers, presenting an initial opportunity for increased productivity. However, as the waters become stratified, essential nutrients become harder to access, leading to a double-edged sword: while we may see a rise in phytoplankton #biomass, the efficiency of CarbonCapture could decline.

#AWS finally updated their #carbon footprint tool with a bit more information. It now has per region data (rather than per geo) and higher resolution, down to 1 gram in the data download. It has a new allocation model that spreads the unused capacity and overhead in a cloud region over the customer carbon footprints. Still puts everything into EC2, S3 and “other”, which makes it hard to find the main sources of #emissions by service. docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccount

If the so called Labour government cannot arrange a sane BBC, if it indeed is itself sane enough to understand how raging mad this is, then there is no point in Labour and rhe British working class needs to look at different solutions.

BBC Prevents shows talking about effing heat pumps.

Fire the BBC news dept. In its entirety. All of it. From copy editors to talking nobs.
