    I often get asked “what are the best carbon offsets?” My response? I’d rank them from 1 (best) to 4 (worst). 1. None. Reduce your emissions instead. There is absolutely no substitute for this. Stop thinking “net zero” and focus on “zero” — or as close as you can get.

    I remember these stories about the 7% CO₂ emissions drop as if they were yesterday. Today's headline: "Global Oil Demand Is Rebounding Again After November Trough" One last time for 2020: It takes policy.

    graph of the global carbon project's estimated emissions for the past 30 years, including 2020.
    Breaking: Global carbon emissions fell by 6.7% in 2020, erasing nearly a decade of rising emissions amid pandemic lockdowns. This means that if the world's Covid recovery prioritizes climate policies, global emissions will have permanently peaked in 2019.

    This is terrible news. An indicator of just how bad our water quality and habitat have become. CC who chronicled the plight of the Delta Smelt in his magnum opus:

    The Enhanced Delta Smelt Monitoring Program recently completed phase 3 sampling for 2020. Over 2,700 hundred tows/samples from Jun to Nov and only 22 delta smelt, only 2 fish since the late summer heat waves. Impressive amount of effort.

    Just to be sure you saw this as well. And what's equally valuable in this work is how it identifies action points that hide behind reflexive rejections of affiliation labels like . See classic:

    Late to 's book. Looks great, if sobering. Dan () Kahan's empirical work on the primacy of the pull of group identity over facts was a big jolt to me as a deficit-model-captured journalist: . Add Limbaugh & social media, et voila.

    This parade is so 2020 that it's ...fun? Not only are they showing last year's parade b/c that's less depressing, but they've accidentally been letting in lots of control room chatter, including "SHE HAD ONE JOB! One job!" Who is she? Such mystery.
