Two New Processes for Carbon Removal and a Monitor

Svante, a carbon capture and removal company based in British Columbia, is receiving up to $100 million to speed the deployment of its climate technology. The cash comes from Canada Growth Fund, a public investment fund used to back the nation’s clean energy sector and attract private dollars to the space. The investment is coming in two tranches: $50 million will be issued immediately to fund commercial projects that are currently underway, and there’s potential for an additional $50 million for Canada-focused initiatives.

Picture this: You’re standing on the outskirts of Evia, Greece, your heart pounding as you watch a raging wildfire engulf a once lush forest. This is not an apocalyptic movie scene; it’s our reality in the age of climate change. A new report from leading experts hints at an even harsher reality: we are relying too much on climate solutions that may not even be feasible.

Overshooting climate targets and relying on future solutions is a risky gamble

Record breaking fossil fuel production, all time high greenhouse gas emissions and extreme temperatures. Like the proverbial frog in the heating pan of water, we refuse to respond to the climate and ecological crisis with any sense of urgency. Under such circumstances, claims from some that global warming can still be limited to no more than 1.5°C take on a surreal quality.

The overshoot myth: you can’t keep burning fossil fuels and expect scientists of the future to get us back to 1.5°C

Fungi are having a cultural moment, thanks in large part to the horror franchise The Last of Us, in which society has collapsed after an outbreak of a fungal infection that turns humans into violent, zombie-like hosts. While real-life fungi won’t be turning us into zombies any time soon, they have become an increasingly worrisome threat to our health. Fungal infections are a lot harder to treat that those caused by bacteria. Here’s why.

Why Diseases Caused by Fungi Are So Frightening

For over a year, surface temperatures in the Atlantic Ocean hit new highs, but that trend has reversed at record speed over the past few months, and nobody knows why. In June, temperatures in the Atlantic were 2 to 5 degrees Fahrenheit (1 to 3 degrees Celsius) hotter than normal in much of the ocean, with some areas getting as much as 9 degrees F (5 degrees C) warmer than average. Those temperatures weren’t a one-off, as the Atlantic had regularly seen record-breaking levels since March 2023. That year marked the fourth in a row that the world’s oceans set new heat records.
