@GadLevanon how were you able to write today’s op ed without mentioning climate chao.
With the caveat that it’s a drop in the atmosphere, so don’t get relieved.. the safety record is great news.

260 million tons of CO2 have already been sequestered in the subsurface. No significant leakage. What an incredible track record. Physics rules.

With all of the various emissions being creatively ignored at the national level, its hard to take even the dire state of the IPCC reports seriously.

Creative accounting by 🇨🇦 turns this “carbon tsunami” into a 100 MtCO2 carbon credit. This - & #cdnpoli policies like paying for energy transition with pipeline, decades more oil prod’n growth & subsidizing CCS - make climate an increasingly uphill task. nationalobserver.com/2022/05…

Canada's forests are being logged faster than they are growing back, writes columnist Barry Saxifrage. That's pouring billions of tonnes of CO2 into our rapidly destabilizing climate.

Four years after Hurricane Michael decimated Florida’s coast, many residents in historically Black or low-income neighborhoods remain in homes that are only half rebuilt, with little or no financial assistance to complete the repairs. bit.ly/3ujWUv2
