December 23, 2025 A look at what the television weather people don't tell us. The high and low temperatures in Austin today at the National Weather Service (NWS) Camp Mabry Station, of 80 and 68 (degrees F) were 17 and 26 degrees warmer than normal, where normal is the National Weather Service's (NWS) "normal" temperatures...

IRS 45Q Carbon Capture Incentive Alive and Well – Enhanced by U.S. Administration

By carbon removal, CDR, CO2 Removal and Sequestration, engineered solutions, Engineering, Negative emissions, Solutions

(The most important carbon capture tax and cash pay incentive in the world has been upheld by the current U.S. administration and in some cases enhanced. Annually 61 million tons of CO2 are captured and safely stored, a drop in the bucket but Rome was not built in a day. The U.S. carbon capture incentive…

Telltale for IMO Ship’s Fuel Regulations Causing Significant Nitrogen Oxide Emissions

By aerosols, Climate Policy, climate solutions, engineered solutions, Engineering, geoengineering, IMO, International Maritime Organization, Nitrogen oxide N20

Telltale for the New IMO Ship’s Fuel Regulations Causing Significant Warming Since 2023: Atmospheric Nitrogen Oxide Emissions  There has been a 67% reduction in ships’ cloud-altering abilities after the International Maritime Organization’s ship’s fuel regulations limiting sulfur went into effect. Sulfur is a natural component of fossil fuels that when burned creates air pollution responsible…

What’s next for carbon removal? Undue Widespread Pessimism

By carbon removal, CDR, Climate Policy, climate restoration, climate solutions, CO2 Removal and Sequestration, engineered solutions, IMO, International Maritime Organization, IRS 45Q, Myths, Negative emissions, Solutions

Stratos, 500 million ton per year air capture unit by Occidental Petroleum in the Permian Basin, Texas What’s next for carbon removal? Undue false and widespread pessimism in the popular press. Companies have still drawn down only enough CO2 to cancel out a few hours of US emissions. Here’s what it will take to really…

The Amazon – On the Path to Collapse

By Abrupt changes, Amazon, Drought, Earth systems, Emissions flip, forest health, Tipping

The Amazon – On the Path to Collapse The trend is now painfully obvious. Degradation in the Amazon is closely tied to compound drought and heat waves, low-soil moisture and low humidity. These compound drought events have become far more frequent and severe since the turn of the century and have resulted in the Amazon…

An Important Tipping Point for Our Total Earth System Has Passed – Natural Sequestration of Atmospheric CO2 Has Begun To Decline Natural sequestration of carbon dioxide is in decline: climate change will accelerate The familiar cover image of the Mauna Loa atmospheric CO2 concentration now reveals what has been coming for decades. Natural sequestration of…

Antarctic Tipping Warning, Mega Drying – Now greatest sea level rise contributor, Total Earth systems sequestration flips into decline

By Abrupt changes, Antarctic sea ice, climate emergency, Drought, Earth systems, Emissions flip, feedback, forest health, Forest Mortality, Gulf Stream, ice sheets, ocean processes, Permafrost melt, Point of No Return, rainfall, sea ice, Sea Level Rise, Tipping, West Antarctic Ice Sheet

Evidence continues to mount that Earth systems processes have passed tipping points or their tipping is foregone without rapid restoration of our climate to within the evolutionary boundary conditions of our former climate. No amount of warming beyond the maximum of our old climate is now safe and we must cool from today to restore…
