Methane emissions are still rising across the board. Major food/ag sources include livestock production, rice production, and food waste. Solutions abound in agricultural improvements, minimizing food loss/waste, and shifting high-meat diets toward plants. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...
New Zealand's fossil CO2 emissions, June 2024 update. Most emission sectors fell in the June quarter. Electricity CO2 rose, but new renewable supply meant that we avoided a severe winter shortage as well as 2 million tonnes of emissions. New post: blog.planetaryecology.org/2024/09/13/n...
