    The RV Celtic Explorer has been officially recognised as Ireland's first Integrated Carbon Observation System (ICOS) ocean station, marking a significant milestone in the country's contribution to global climate monitoring. The Integrated Carbon Observation System (ICOS) is a European Research Infrastructure (RI) network that monitors the movement of carbon through the atmosphere, oceans, and terrestrial ecosystems. Established to support high-quality climate change research, ICOS provides long-term, standardised observations of greenhouse gases essential for understanding and responding to climate change. Ireland joined ICOS in 2023, proposing a national network of ten observation stations: four atmospheric, five terrestrial, and one ocean station. At its recent General Assembly meeting, ICOS officially accepted the RV Celtic Explorer as a Class 2 Ocean Station - the first of its kind for Ireland. Onboard, the General Oceanics pCO2 system semi-continuously monitors atmospheric and surface ocean carbon dioxide, enabling high-resolution, real-time data collection. Together with Clara Bog, which was also recently accepted as an associated terrestrial station, these are the first two Irish sites to complete the ICOS certification process and be formally labelled. The global ocean absorbs approximately 25% of human-generated CO2 emissions each year. Without this vital sink, the effects of climate change would be even more severe. However, the strength of this ocean sink is variable and projected to decline, which could further accelerate global warming. Additionally, the increasing absorption of CO2 is driving ocean acidification, posing a growing threat to marine ecosystems. Monitoring air-sea CO2 exchange is therefore critical to understanding and predicting these environmental changes. Ireland is uniquely positioned for this research, and the RV Celtic Explorer's operational zone in the European continental shelf and North Atlantic provides an ideal setting for routine, high-quality measurements. The 65.5-metre RV Celtic Explorer, operated by the Marine Institute, is a purpose-built (2003) ocean-going research vessel. The General Oceanics equilibrator system has been operational since 2017, continuously measuring surface seawater and atmospheric CO2. Principal Investigating Scientist Margot Cronin remarked: "These essential climate data, along with other carbon data collected on ship-based oceanography surveys, are reported to the Surface CO2 Atlas and other international data centres. The data are widely used in national, regional and global scientific assessments, including the Global Carbon Budget, IPCC reports, OSPAR Convention assessments, and the UN Sustainable Development Goal indicator 14.3 on ocean acidification. This has been a highly successful group effort, thanks in no small part to the support of the P&O Instrumentation team, the ICOS Ocean Thematic Centre, and the Marine Institute's RV Operations team."

    La Chine fausse le marché mondial de l'acier, selon un rapport de l'OCDE

    Le monde ne manque pas d'acier, il croule même sous les excédents, c'est ce que pointe le rapport annuel de l'OCDE, une organisation économique qui regroupe essentiellement les pays occidentaux, rapport qui vient de sortir cette semaine. Ce qui explique la surproduction d'acier, ce sont essentiellement les subventions octroyées par certains États. Plusieurs gouvernements ont mis en place des politiques de soutien à leur industrie sidérurgique, c'est le cas dans la région MENA (Moyen-Orient et Afrique du Nord) et dans les pays d'Asie du Sud-Est, mais un pays fait plus que les autres : la Chine. Les subventions de Pékin sont dix fois supérieures à celles des pays de l'OCDE. Ce soutien se matérialise par des emprunts en dessous des taux du marché, des prix de l'énergie subventionnés ou encore un traitement fiscal préférentiel. Une pratique qui « fausse » le marché mondial, selon l'OCDE.Grâce à son acier subventionné, la Chine prend de plus en plus de part de marché : les exportations d'acier chinois ont plus que doublé depuis 2020, pour atteindre un record de 118 millions de tonnes en 2024. Ce tsunami d'acier a fait chuter les prix. Après leur pic en 2021, ils sont tombés au plus bas depuis près de dix ans. Des prix bas qui profitent naturellement aux utilisateurs d'acier du secteur de la construction ou de l'automobile, mais pas aux fabricants d'acier.Des fabricants d'acier qui ne sont plus rentablesLes industriels voient leur rentabilité se rapprocher de leurs plus bas niveaux historiques, selon l'OCDE : l'allemand ThyssenKrupp a annoncé la suppression de milliers emplois, le géant US Steel, désormais relégué aux 24e rang des aciéristes mondiaux, est contraint de se marier avec le japonais Nippon Steel, numéro 4 du secteur. Quant à ArcelorMittal, le géant mondial prévoit de licencier environ 600 personnes dans le nord de la France.Face aux difficultés et à la grogne des producteurs d'acier dont l'activité souffre de la concurrence asiatique, de plus en plus de pays ont lancé des enquêtes anti-dumping. Leur nombre a été multiplié par cinq en deux ans. Rien qu'en 2024, 81 ont été lancées – contre 16 précédentes –, un tiers visait des producteurs chinois.À écouter aussiLa surabondance d'acier chinois pèse sur les prix du minerai de ferLa consommation ne suit pasElle est variable selon les régions, stable, voire en déclin dans les pays occidentaux, mais elle diminue en Chine. Au niveau mondial, le solde est à peine positif, les besoins en acier n'augmentent même pas de 1 % par an. D'où les excédents d'acier, qui risquent de s'aggraver puisque de nouvelles usines vont entrer en service.Dans les deux années qui viennent, les capacités de production devraient bondir de plus de 6 %, selon les projections de l'OCDE, ce qui annonce des dizaines de millions de tonnes d'acier en plus sur le marché. Des nouveaux investissements situés majoritairement en Asie et surtout en Inde et en Chine.Impact sur la décarbonation du secteurLa fabrication d'acier est responsable de 8 % des émissions mondiales de CO2. Mais les investissements pour décarboner la filière sont difficilement tenables dans le contexte actuel de prix. Fin 2024, ArcelorMittal a suspendu son projet d'investissement dans la décarbonation de ses hauts fourneaux de Dunkerque, en raison de la non-compétitivité de l'acier produit en Europe. En parallèle, 40 % des nouvelles capacités qui doivent entrer en production ne seront pas bas-carbone et même « à forte intensité d'émission », pointe l'OCDE.

    This week we talk about greenhouse gases, renewable energy capacity, and China's economy.We also discuss coal power plants, natural gas, and gigatons.Recommended Book: What If We Get It Right? by Ayana Elizabeth JohnsonTranscriptIn 2024, global CO2 emissions hit a new all-time high of 37.8 gigatons, that figure including emissions from industrial processes, oil well flaring, and the combustion of fuel, like petroleum in a vehicle.And for context, a gigaton is one billion metric tons, which is about 2.2 trillion pounds. A single gigaton is about the weight of 10,000 fully equipped aircraft carriers, it's about twice the mass of all human beings on the planet, and it's approximately the same mass of all non-human land-mammals on earth.That's one gigaton, and global CO2 emissions last year hit 37.8 gigatons; so quite a lot of carbon dioxide headed into the atmosphere, every year, these days.That's up about .8% from 2023 levels, and it resulted in an atmospheric CO2 concentration of about 422.5 parts per million, which is around 3 ppm higher than 2023, and 50% higher than pre-industrial levels. And again, for context, if we don't want to experience global average temperature increases, more extreme weather, and disrupted water cycles, the general consensus is that we want to keep atmospheric CO2 levels at or below 350 ppm, and we're currently at 422.5 ppm.That said, while emissions grew last year, mostly because fuel combustion increased by around 1%, which overshadowed the decrease in industrial process emissions, which was down 2.3% for the year, emissions growth in 2024 was less than GDP growth; and that's important because for a long time it was assumed that in order to grow global wealth, according to that metric for wealth, at least, more fossil fuels would need to be burned, because that was the pattern for a long time, industrial revolution, onward.Beginning in the early 2000s, though, GDP growth and emissions growth diverged, and that decoupling has become more prominent as many wealthy nations, including the US, have upped the efficiency of many previously energy-hogging aspects of their economies—things like appliances and the aforementioned industrial processes—while also shifting a lot of energy generation away from massively polluting fuels like coal and oil, over to less-polluting fuels like gas, and non-polluting sources like solar and wind, and in some cases nuclear, as well.This relationship varies significantly from country to country, and the benefits are mostly being seen in so-called advanced economies right now, as many poorer nations are still seeing increased emissions from more polluting power sources, generating electricity, and the growth in wealth leading to more people buying cars and scooters, many of which run on dirty fuels.In the US, though, GDP has doubled since 1990, but CO2 emissions have dropped back down to around 1990 levels.Which to be clear is still a whole lot, as Americans consume a lot of stuff and use a lot of energy, and there are a lot of people living in the US using all that energy and buying all that stuff. But it serves as a good example of this divergence, which we're also seeing across the EU, where European economies, on average, are 66% larger than in 1990, and CO2 emissions are about a third lower than levels from that same year.What I'd like to talk about today, though, is how this dynamic is playing out in China, a place with a staggeringly high population, a rapidly enlarging middle class, and a whole lot of energy needs.—China is a renewable energy powerhouse.It's an energy of all kinds powerhouse, truthfully, but its development of renewable energy technologies, and its deployment of those technologies, has been truly remarkable, especially over the past decade or so.China has more renewable energy capacity—mostly solar and wind—than the next 13 countries combined. The US comes in second place, but China has four-times as much renewable energy capacity than the US.Despite that, though, because of China's huge population and its remarkable wealth-spreading success story, having brought something like 800 million people out of poverty over the past 40 years, a lot of people in the country need a lot more energy, every year. Because as people make more money, they tend to use more electricity and heat, and they tend to buy more things, need bigger homes, and so on. All of which requires more energy.So even though they've been building solar panels and wind turbines at a blistering rate, spreading these things all over the place, massively increasing their capacity for clean electricity, they've also been building more fossil fuel-burning power plants, especially coal power plants, and that's made it the world's biggest emitter of greenhouse gases; a little less than half of the country's total installed generation capacity burns fossil fuels, which is a huge drop from even a handful of years ago, but because so much of the remaining fossil fuel stock is coal-burning, those energy assets account for an outsized portion of global emissions.New, official data released by the Chinese government, so probably smart to take it with a grain of salt, though these sorts of numbers are usually more reliable than the economy-related numbers they put out, these days, but new data was crunched by Carbon Brief, and they found that March of 2024 was China's most recent peak in terms of emissions, and since then, their emissions have dropped by 1%.The drop might be accelerating, too, as they also found that new installations in the first quarter of 2025 dropped emissions by 1.6% compared to the same quarter in 2024, so they may be scaling up their renewables deployment efforts, which could lead to even more of a drop.And remarkably, China's power sector tallied an emissions drop of 5.8%, despite demand for power increasing by 2.5% that same period: which suggests that although China's population is still wanting more electricity and stuff, the same energy, or rather, a bit more of it, now produces fewer emissions, which means the ratio of renewables to non-renewables in their grid is shifting further in renewables' favor.Now, as with many other countries, China is beginning to replace coal in some of their power plants with natural gas, instead of swapping them out for solar, wind, and nuclear. Which is absolutely better than coal, but gas still emits CO2 when burned, and there are entirely different problems associated with gas infrastructure, including leaky pipes than allow methane to seep into the atmosphere, which stays up there for a shorter duration than CO2, but is a lot more potent, in terms of heat-capture—so gas in better in some ways, especially short-term ways, than coal, and less polluting for people on the ground, too, but definitely not as good for long-term outcomes as renewables.All that said, there's some optimism here, as this is the first time this sort of peak and drop has been noted in China's emission numbers in a context where that drop hasn't been directly attributable to economic factors; the pandemic, for instance, where a lot less energy was needed, fewer people were driving, and thus there were far fewer emissions globally, for a while.There's a chance, though, that this trend could be disrupted by the burgeoning trade-war between the Trump administration and essentially everyone, but China in particular. The China-facing component of Trump's tariffs has been mellowed for a few months, but is still significant at around 30% as of the day I'm recording this. And that could lead to a rewiring of global supply chains, but also a shift in what China manufacturers are producing, how they're getting those goods to their destination.Those shifting variables could lead to short-term or long-term changes in who's producing what, how it's being shipped, and thus, what sorts of energy expenditures we'll see, and how that energy's being produced, because of the peculiarities of those new, perhaps rapidly deployed, needs.Show Noteshttps://www.worldbank.org/en/news/press-release/2022/04/01/lifting-800-million-people-out-of-poverty-new-report-looks-at-lessons-from-china-s-experiencehttps://e360.yale.edu/features/china-renewable-energyhttps://arstechnica.com/science/2025/05/analysis-shows-that-chinas-emissions-are-dropping-due-to-renewables/https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-clean-energy-just-put-chinas-co2-emissions-into-reverse-for-first-time/https://mn350.org/understanding350https://www.iea.org/reports/global-energy-review-2025/co2-emissionshttps://www.iea.org/commentaries/the-relationship-between-growth-in-gdp-and-co2-has-loosened-it-needs-to-be-cut-completelyhttps://wmo.int/media/news/record-carbon-emissions-highlight-urgency-of-global-greenhouse-gas-watchhttps://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-global-co2-emissions-will-reach-new-high-in-2024-despite-slower-growth/https://ourworldindata.org/co2-emissions This is a public episode.

    The Tony Blair Institute for Global Change (TBI) recently released a widely publicized report titled “The Climate Paradox”, which has garnered significant positive attention from outlets such as the Guardian, the BBC, the Financial Times, Bloomberg, and much of the European press.Beginning with the statement, “Climate action has reached an impasse,” the report, authored by Lindy Fursman (who holds a PhD in Sociology from UC Berkeley), outlines several key “facts” that have been effectively debunked by experts like Michael Liebreich in his Substack and Michael Barnard in Cleantechnica.The TBI concludes with a series of recommendations, the most prominent being the call to “accelerate and scale technologies that capture carbon, alongside significant investments in engineered carbon-dioxide removal technologies, including direct air capture (DAC) solutions”. To emphasize this message, the cover of TBI's report features an image of Climeworks' plant in Iceland. Climeworks, a Swiss engineering company with 500 employees, has received $800 million in equity and subsidies from major players such as Partners Group, the GIC (Singapore's sovereign wealth fund), Baillie Gifford (an early investor in Tesla), Swiss Re, and Microsoft.However, last week, Climeworks faced a major setback when it was revealed that despite receiving substantial funding, the company had only captured 105 tonnes of CO2—not 105,000, but just 105 tonnes (less than a single flight London – New York) —despite the strong backing of tech giants like Stripe, Microsoft and Shopify.This revelation has sparked widespread concern and warranted a prompt discussion with Laurent Segalen, Gerard Reid and Michael Barnard to assess the implications. The conversation will explore the credibility of the TBI's stance on energy, the broader potential of DAC, and whether this technology is, in fact, a case of "Deception, Amateurism, and Con."Links:Michael Liebreich substack:https://mliebreich.substack.com/p/why-tony-blair-needs-to-reset-hisMichael Barnard Cleantechnicahttps://cleantechnica.com/2025/05/05/tony-blairs-new-climate-reset-report-promotes-delay-not-action/https://cleantechnica.com/2025/05/15/climeworks-dac-fiscal-collapse-the-brutal-reality-of-pulling-carbon-from-the-sky/

The findings revealed that in Irish households, there are 7.6 million unused devices, or 1.43 old devices per person, of which 2.5 million have the potential to be refurbished and re-enter the market. Dublin City alone holds 874,830 unused smartphones, while households across Leinster account for a total of 4,219,076 old devices. In comparison, Munster has 1,373,346 unused smartphones, and Connacht holds 870,825. The study also found 642 million devices lie idle across European households, 211 million of which are suitable for professional refurbishment. The quantity of raw materials stored in these devices would allow Europe to meet its demand for metals, rare earths and other materials for several years. Speaking on the results, Peter Windischhofer, co-founder of refurbed said, "Two years ago, we commissioned Fraunhofer Austria to calculate life cycle assessment data for selected electronics, quantifying the environmental impact of refurbished vs new devices for the first time. Last year, we built a unique model with Fraunhofer that delivers scientifically verified data for thousands of refurbished phones, laptops, and tablets. Now, with this third study, we can show how much impact we can generate if consumers bring old devices back into the circular economy. This is definitely a call to action to Irish consumers." "Refurbishing smartphones offers huge potential in the circular economy," says Paul Rudorf, project lead at Fraunhofer Austria. "Devices destined to become e-waste are reintroduced into the usage cycle, reducing e-waste, extending product life and lessening the need for critical raw materials. It also minimises the environmental damage caused by mining and production, while offering affordable alternatives to consumers. Refurbishment is essential for preserving resources and promoting sustainability in electronics." On average, European households hold around €8 in the form of unused old smartphones. While this may not sound like much on an individual level, with 642 million unused devices in total, it adds up to a material value of €1.57 billion sitting in Europeans 'junk drawers'' across the EU. On average, buyback programs offer around €100 for devices aged between 2.8 and 4 years, meaning this results in an untapped market value of approximately €6.42 billion. Aside from financial savings, refurbishing unused devices and extending their use could also save the EU about 24 million tons of CO? equivalent and reduce virtual water usage by 8.5 billion cubic meters over the next 3 years. Since 2024, refurbed has provided a trade-in service in Ireland, helping minimise e-waste levels and repurpose old tech. refurbed is playing an active role, allowing Irish consumers to recycle their old devices, give them a new purpose and recover the valuable raw materials they contain. The refurbishment process is continuously monitored and refined, setting a higher benchmark for quality in the refurbished tech industry. To date, refurbed has saved over 270,000 tonnes of CO2, 900 tonnes of e-waste, and 94 billion litres of water since its founding in 2017, and has planted over 6.6 million trees.

    What makes vine growing and winemaking so physically demanding? What are the hidden dangers of winemaking that most wine lovers never hear about? Why are some winemakers choosing to label their wines as Vin de France rather than follow strict appellation rules? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Caro Feely You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks   Giveaway Three of you are going to win a copy of her terrific book, Grape Adventures. To qualify, all you have to do is email me at natalie@nataliemaclean.com and let me know that you've posted a review of the podcast. I'll choose three people randomly from those who contact me. Good luck!   Highlights How did Oprah Winfrey influence Caro and her husband to follow their dream of owning a vineyard in France? What was behind the decision to leave their corporate jobs for winemaking, which was such a different career? Why did Caro choose Bordeaux and Saussignac in particular? What were the main criteria that Caro and her husband sought when choosing a vineyard? Were there any transferable skills from the corporate IT world that were helpful in running a winery? What was the most surprising hurdle Caro and her husband had to overcome to buy their winery? How does Caro handle the tension between making wines she believes in versus what will pass official approvals or market trends? Why did Chateau Feely want to be classified as Vin De France? How physically demanding is winemaking? What are some of the funniest and most surprising animal-related episodes that have happened at the winery?   Key Takeaways As Caro explains it involves heavy machinery, tractors, attaching things to tractors, moving heavy pipes and other equipment around. Even hand picking grapes is a fairly active sport. Removing the vine shoots or suckers at the base of the vine is a big job and backbreaking. They don't want them to grow because they take nutrients from the grapes. Caro says that many wine lovers don't realize how dangerous winemaking is. There are four killers of wine makers. The first one was asphyxiation by CO2. In the fermentation, CO2 is created. If you don't have a way for it to get out of the closed spaces, you're going to get asphyxiated. The second one is falling from height particularly if a little bit of CO2 has escaped and made you a little lightheaded. The next one is machinery, so horrific things like falling into a harvest trailer. Electrocution because you're working with liquids and high electricity. Caro says that almost all of her wines are labelled Vin de France because she felt that so many of the appellation rules were not about the quality of the wine. She wanted to be free of those unnecessary constraints. For example, one biodynamic winemaker got kicked out of the appellation system because he had weeds under his vines. He handpicks his grapes so it actually doesn't matter if they're weeds under the vines. If you machine pick, the machine will kind of suck up the weeds. Caro would much rather have some weeds than have to use synthetic weed killer. Even when it comes to Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé and Premier Grand Cru Classé, some growers got more appellation points for having a parking lot for tour guests than they received for being certified organic.   About Caro Feely Caro Feely is a writer, yoga teacher, wine educator and organic farmer. She leads authentic, personalized and educative wine tours, wine courses, walking tours and yoga retreats near Bordeaux in France. She is a published author, an engaging speaker, a registered Yoga Alliance yoga teacher, a WSET* wine educator, and a professional with many years of workshop, presentation, teaching, and management experience.

    Bienvenue sur la Radio Circulab (ex Activer l'Economie Circulaire) Bonjour à toutes et à tous ! De là où je vous parle, nos viles ont radicalement changé de visage. Est-ce que vous vous souvenez des toits gris et des espaces sur bain bétonné ? Alors aujourd'hui, ils sont devenus de véritables oasis de verdure et de production alimentaire. À votre époque, l'idée de cultiver des légumes sur les toits ou de transformer des friches industrielles en ferme urbaine semblait encore novateur. Pourtant, ces initiatives ont été les prémisses d'une transformation profonde de nos environnements urbains. En intégrant des serres sur les toits des bâtiments, nous avons non seulement optimisé l'utilisation de l'espace, mais aussi créé des espaces circulaires où l'énergie et les ressources sont judicieusement partagées. Par exemple, la chaleur excédentaire des bâtiments est désormais récupérée pour chauffer les serres, réduisant ainsi notre consommation énergétique globale. De plus, le CO2 généré par les activités humaines est capté pour favoriser la croissance des plantes, contribuant à purifier l'air que nous respirons. Cette symbiose entre architecture et agriculture a permis de réduire significativement notre empreinte carbone, tout en renforçant notre autonomie alimentaire. Alors, les projets pilotés menés dans plusieurs pays européens ont démontré justement la faisabilité et les avantages de ces fermes urbaines circulaires. Ils ont servi de modèles inspirants, encourageant de nombreux autres villes à adopter ces pratiques. Grâce à ces efforts collectifs, nos villes sont devenues plus résilientes, durables et agréables à vivre. L'agriculture urbaine n'est plus une simple tendance, mais une composante essentielle de notre quotidien, contribuant à la sécurité alimentaire, à la biodiversité et aux bien-être des citadins. Je vous incite vraiment à soutenir et à développer ces initiatives, planter les graines de cette révolution verte, en quelque sorte, dès aujourd'hui, et dans une décennie, vous récolteriez les fruits d'une ville en harmonie avec la nature. Après ces quelques mots, je vous dis à bientôt, Joséphine, depuis 2035.

    In this episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold breaks down the political storm surrounding Trump's “One Big Beautiful Bill”, a sprawling 1,116-page legislative behemoth loaded with tax cuts, border security funding, military investment, and controversial policy shifts. Jon calls out the hypocrisy of passing massive omnibus bills after years of GOP outcry against bloated legislation, and warns of hidden land sales, student loan overhauls, and potential CO2 pipeline power grabs. He also dives into the crumbling narrative around Biden's stage 4 prostate cancer diagnosis, questioning the timing and transparency of the White House amid rising speculation of elder abuse and political cover-up. From Trump's renewed attacks on Kamala Harris's celebrity endorsements to rising tension with Netanyahu over Gaza, the episode unpacks domestic and foreign drama with characteristic wit and skepticism. Other stories include Elon Musk's scaled-back political spending, potential full-scale civil war in Syria, DOJ investigations into Chicago's hiring practices, and a damning bribery conviction of a top Navy admiral. With a blend of policy critique and narrative subversion, Jon keeps viewers sharp as chaos unfolds across Capitol Hill and the global stage.

    Send us a textCarbon capture pipelines represent one of the most significant threats to American property rights and rural communities that few people know about. In this eye-opening conversation with Rebecca Terrell, senior editor for the New American Magazine, we dive deep into the disturbing reality behind the government's plan to install 96,000 miles of carbon dioxide pipelines across America.What begins as a discussion about a documentary quickly reveals a multi-layered assault on private property, local sovereignty, and basic safety. When a carbon capture pipeline ruptured in Satarsha, Mississippi in 2020, it created an invisible, odorless cloud of carbon dioxide that displaced oxygen, causing people to collapse and rendering emergency vehicles inoperable. This wasn't an anomaly – it's the inherent danger of these pipelines that transport CO2 under extreme pressure (2200 PSI).Behind the environmental facade lies a simple motivation: billions in government subsidies. The Biden administration increased payouts to $85 per ton of captured carbon, creating an irresistible financial incentive for companies like Summit Carbon Solutions to seize farmland through eminent domain. Even more shocking is the scientific reality that carbon capture actually increases overall emissions, requiring 1.5-2 times more energy than it saves – a fact acknowledged even by prominent climate activists.The conversation takes a revealing turn when Terrell connects these pipelines to UN Agenda 2030 and explains how international interests have been quietly implementing control through seemingly benign "comprehensive planning" and "smart growth" initiatives in virtually every county across America. What appears local is actually global.Yet amid this troubling landscape, there's genuine hope. Farmers in the Midwest have organized, run for office, and successfully passed legislation protecting their property rights. "This is their 1776 moment," Terrell explains, as ordinary Americans discover what it truly means to stand together against powerful interests.Watch "Unearthing the CO2 Pipeline" for free until May 21st at standyourground.watch or purchase the DVD at jbs.org.

    You've heard of carbon capture machines, but what if one of the most powerful tools for removing CO₂ from the atmosphere isn't high-tech at all—just crushed rock and rain? Meet Ana Pavlovic, CEO of Eion and the self-described “Crazy Rock Lady.” Her company is pioneering a process called enhanced rock weathering, which uses the natural properties of a green volcanic mineral called olivine to pull carbon dioxide out of the air and lock it away—permanently. The best part? They do it on farmland, replacing conventional agricultural lime with olivine. The result is a two-for-one win: healthier soil for farmers and long-term carbon removal for the planet. It's nature's chemistry, accelerated—and rigorously measured using Eion's core technology, what they call a “soil fingerprinting” measurement technique. In this episode, Ana explains how Eion is turning geology into climate cash, why they're focusing on agriculture instead of oceans, and how they secured a $33 million carbon removal deal from Frontier, the coalition backed by Stripe, Shopify, and Meta. We also talk about farmer adoption, measurement challenges, and why Ana believes carbon removal can be both scientifically credible and scalable. So if you're interested in the wild new world of carbon markets, the surprising magic of crushed rocks, and what it takes to scale a climate startup from idea to impact, you'll dig this conversation. Let's rock. Discussed in this episode The 2020 Beerling paper: “Potential for large-scale CO2 removal via enhanced rock weathering with croplands” Eion's $33 million deal with Frontier and its deal with Perdue.  Eion's patent application for a soil fingerprinting verification technique  Our 2022 episode on enhanced rock weathering with Kelly Erhart from Vesta. Ana recommends reading Ministry for the Future. More about Anastasia Pavlovic Anastasia Pavlovic brings deep expertise in global operations and software with a passion for driving global change through local impact. Before joining Eion, Pavlovic led operations, commercialization, and growth for the Agoro Carbon Alliance, which works with farmers to sequester carbon in soil.

    Another recent scientific report documents how the Antarctic Ice Sheet, which we have been propagandized to zealously believe is one of the major players in rising sea levels, has actually gained, not lost, ice in the previous decade or so. The study found that, “Between 2002 and 2010, the AIS lost mass at a rate of about 73.79 Gt/year, a figure that doubled to 142.06 Gt/year during the 2011 to 2020 period.” These finding obviously challenge the “narrative of consistent mass loss in the region.” The same is actually true for the Australia coral reef too.This is one of many stories that in fact not just challenges the repeated narrative(s), but essentially destroys them. With more ice comes more reflection of sunlight, something universities, billionaires, and even governments have finally admitted to doing, or wanting to do, themselves. As the official narrative around melting ice likewise melts away, we are at a turning point where the introduction of geoenginering programs - which have been around for decades - will likely be given credit for reversing the melting of the various icy regions of earth. At the very least, they'll be given credit for reversing climate change. But it's not CC that has been reversed; instead, it's the narrative. The same narrative is changing around overpopulation, too, and not just because people are figuring out there is a difference between the overcrowding of cities and overpopulation of the planet. A recent report suggests that we may have underestimated the number of humans on the planet. This is especially coincidental considering birth rates are falling globally and population is on the verge of a steep drop off. Likewise, the narrative about starvation and lack of available food, while certainly true for some very specific regions of the planet, is rapidly changing as well. For example, the U.S. wastes about 40% of its entire food supply due due to expiration date confusion or the simple wasting of produce - about 60 million tons. Interestingly, about half of what we buy is ultraprocessed junk. Outside the U.S. the whole world “wastes about 2.5 billion tons of food every year.” In other words, there is plenty of food - so much, we waste near half of it every year. With just these few examples, you can see that we don't have a melting ice issue, we don't have an overpopulation issue, we don't have a food scarcity issue, etc. We have a reporting and narrative issue. These lies have spread so rapidly through society that they have become like a religious doctrine. Showing people the evidence provided here is irrelevant to their predetermined conclusions, which justify genetic engineering, geoengineering, synthetic biology, synthetic food, and the like through the lens of saving the world. In the process of trying to “save the world” these “solutions” threaten to make humans extinct. In other words, it's not the threat of something like climate change, which is evidently false and misleading, but instead the solution offered to fight it that threatens to extinct mankind. Perhaps that was the goal all along, because to eliminate C02 is to eliminate all current life on the planet. Now you see man, now you don't. And the elimination of “all current life” doesn't have to be literal extermination, it can be the promotion of having more kids via a Team Humanity that support synthetic biology, electric cars, microchips, a grid of satellites, etc, all things that make humans more obsolete, and renders them as nothing more than the information and energy resources for AI. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

    This week we talk about the NHTSA, CAFE standards, and energy efficiency.We also discuss incentive programs, waste heat, and the EPA.Recommended Book: Africa Is Not a Country by Dipo FaloyinTranscriptIn the United States, fuel-efficiency laws for vehicles sold on the US market are set by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, or NHTSA. They set the Corporate Average Fuel Economy, or CAFE standards by which vehicle-makers have to abide, and that, in turn, establishes the minimum standards for companies like Ford or Toyota making vehicles for this market.That CAFE standard is paired with another guideline set by the Environmental Protection Agency that sets standards related to tailpipe emissions. The former says how many miles a vehicle should be able to travel on a gallon of fuel, while the latter says how much CO2, methane, and other pollutants can be legally emitted as that fuel is burnt and those miles are traversed.These two standards address different angles of this issue, but work together to, over time, reduce the amount of fuel consumed to do the same work, and pollution created as that work is accomplished; as a result, if you're traveling 50 miles today and driving a modern car in the US, you'll consume a lot less fuel than you would have traveling the same distance in a period-appropriate car twenty years ago.Back in the final year of the Biden administration, the president was criticized for not pushing for more stringent fuel-efficiency standards for US-sold and driven vehicles. The fuel economy requirements were increased by 2% per year for model years 2027 to 2031 for passenger cars, and the same 2% per year requirement will be applied to SUVs and other light trucks for model years 2029 to 2031.This is significantly lower than a previously proposed efficiency requirement, which would have seen new vehicles averaging about 43.5 mpg by model year 2032—an efficiency gain of 18%. And the explanation at the time was that Biden really wanted to incentivize carmakers to shift to EVs, and if they weren't spending their time and resources on fuel-efficiency tech deployment for their gas-guzzlers, which Biden hoped to start phasing out, they could spend more on refining their EV offerings, which were already falling far behind China's EV models.Biden wanted half of all new vehicles sold in the US by 2030 to be electric, so the theory was that fuel-efficiency standards were the previous war, and he wanted to fight the next one.Even those watered-down standards were estimated to keep almost 70 billion gallons of gasoline from being consumed through the year 2050, which in turn would reduce US driver emissions by more than 710 million metric tons of CO2 by that same year. They were also expected to save US drivers something like $600 in gas costs over the lifetime of each vehicle they own.Since current president Trump returned to office, however, all of these rules and standards have come into question. Just as when he was president the first time around, rolling back a bunch of Obama-era fuel-efficiency standards—which if implemented as planned would have ensured US-sold vehicles averaged 46.7 mpg by 2026, so better than we were expected to get by 2032 under Biden's revised minimum—just as he did back then, Trump is targeting these new, Biden standards, while also doing away with a lot of the incentives introduced by the Biden administration meant to make EVs cheaper and more appealing to consumers, and easier to make and sell for car companies.What I'd like to talk about today is another standard, this one far less politicized and widely popular within the US and beyond, that is also being targeted by the second Trump administration, and what might happen if it goes away.—In 1992, the US Environmental Protection Agency, under the endorsement of then-president George HW Bush, launched the Energy Star program: a voluntary labeling program that allowed manufacturers of various types of products to affix a little blue label that says Energy Star on their product, boxes, and/or advertising if their product met the efficiency standards set by this program.So it's a bit like if those aforementioned fuel-efficiency standards set for vehicles weren't required, and instead, if your car met the minimum standards, you could slap a little sticker on the car that said it was more energy efficient than cars without said sticker.A low bar to leap, and one that wasn't considered to be that big a deal, either in terms of being cumbersome for product-makers, or in terms of accomplishing much of anything.Energy Star standards were initially developed for the then-burgeoning field of personal computers and accessories, but in 1995 things really took off, when the program was expanded to include heating and cooling infrastructure, alongside other components for housing and other buildings.From there, new product categories were added on a semi-regular basis, and the government agency folks running the program continued to deploy more technical support and testing tools, making it easier and easier for companies wanting to adhere to these standards to do so, relatively easily and inexpensively.And to provide a sense of what was required to meet Energy Star standards in the days when they were really beginning to take off and become popular, in the early 2000s, refrigerators needed to be about 20% more efficient, in terms of electricity consumption, than the minimum legal standard for such things, while dishwashers needed to be 41% more efficient. Computers around that time, more specifically in 2008, were required to have an 85% efficiency at half load and something close to that at 20% and 100% power load—which basically means it they needed to use most of the energy they drew, and release less of it as waste-heat, which was a big issue for desktop computers at the time.Energy Star TVs had to use 30% less energy than average, with more modern versions of the standard requiring they draw 3 watts or less while in standby mode, and a slew of 90s and early 2000s-era technologies, like VCRs and cordless home phones were required to use something like 90% less electricity than the average at the time.This standard helped push the development of more energy efficient everything, as it was a selling point for companies making things for real estate developers, in particular. Energy-hogs like light fixtures, which cost a fortune to power if you're thinking in terms of skyscrapers or just building a bunch of houses, became far more energy efficient after the folks in charge of buying the lighting for these projects were able to eyeball options and use the Energy Star label as a shorthand indication that the cost of operation for those goods would be far less, over time, than their competition; it was kind of pointless to buy anything else in many cases, because why would you want to spend all that extra money over time buying less-efficient fluorescent lights for your office buildings, especially now that it was so easy to see, at a glance, which ones were best in this regard?And the same general consensus arrived on the consumer market not long after, as qualified lighting was something like 75% more efficient than non-qualified, legal-minimum-meeting lighting, and Energy Star verified homes were something like 20% cheaper to own.It was estimated that US homeowners living in Energy Star certified homes saved around $360 million on their energy bills in 2016, alone, and another estimate suggests that US citizens, overall, have saved about half a trillion dollars over the past 33 years as a result of the program and the efficiency standards it encourages.So this is a relatively lightweight program that's optional, and which basically just rewards companies willing to put more efficient products on the market. They can use the little label if they live up to these standards, and that tells customers that this stuff will use less energy than other, comparable products, which in turn saves those customers money over time, and puts less strain on the US electrical grid.This program, consequently, has been very popular, for customers, for the companies making these products—because by jumping through a few hoops, they can get some of their products certified, and that gives them a competitive advantage over companies that don't do the same, and especially over companies selling cheaper goods from overseas, which tend to be a lot less efficient because of that cheapness—and it's been popular for politicians across the political spectrum, because people who buy things and pay energy bills vote those politicians into office, and companies that make such goods hire lobbyists to influence their decisions.All of which brings us to today, mid-May of 2025, a point at which the second Trump administration seems to be considering possibly getting rid of the Energy Star certification program.Initial reports on the matter are seemingly well-sourced, but anonymous, as is the case with a lot of White House briefs right now, so some of this should be taken with a grain of salt, because of how it's being reported and because this administration has flip-flopped a whole lot already, and on things much bigger and more prominent than this, since returning to office, so this could just go away after being reported upon, even if they actually intended to do it before that pushback.But what seems to have happened is this:In January of 2025, after returning to the White House, Trump's administration put a big Trump supporter and Republican politician, Lee Zelden, in charge of the Environmental Protection Agency.Zelden publicly holds a lot of standard Republican talking points, including what's often called skepticism about climate science and vehement support of oil drilling, including fracking. He did say that climate change is a real issue that needs to be addressed during his EPA head confirmation hearing, however.Under Trump's second administration, many government agencies have been either completely done away with, or wiped out, in terms of funding and staff, so that they're basically just zombie agencies at this point, and the EPA is an agency that Trump has historically not been a big fan of, and which he seems to be trying to rewire toward deregulation: so regulations like fuel efficiency standards are not good according to some strains of usually more conservative politics, and for some business owners, because these are additional rules they have to legally abide by, which costs them money.And back in March of 2025 Zelden announced that the EPA would be pulling back on regulations related to power plants, would incentivize rather than disincentivize the production of oil and gas, would do away with a bunch of pollution-related standards, especially those related to coal power plants and how much pollution they can emit, and many other similar things, which—to shorthand all this—may be somewhat popular if you think climate change concerns are overblown and that it's more important to keep coal mines operational than to keep streams and rivers clean, but which will generally look really, really bad if you're any kind of environmentalist and/or are concerned about climate change.The government also recently cut the EPA's budget by 54.5%, dropping said budget back to where it was when Ronald Reagan was president. This cut, along with cuts to other agencies responsible for tracking dangerous weather, saving sea turtles, and keeping US National Parks clean and functional, will, according to the government, save US taxpayers $163 billion.According to reports from a recent all-hands meeting of the EPA's Office of Atmospheric Protection, Trump administration officials announced that that office would be dissolved, and that the Energy Star program would be eliminated.Now, there's a chance that this is just the result of the administration's at times seemingly blind cutting of budgets, backtracking only when there's sufficient pushback, and there's a chance this is a continuation of a political moment a few years back when the Biden administration was considering doing away with Energy Star certification for gas ranges, the idea being that if it uses gas instead of electricity, it's part of the problem, even if it's more efficient than other ranges.Republican politicians responded to lobbying efforts from the US gas industry and stirred that up into a big frenzy, to the point that people were vehemently defending their right to own a gas stove, which was never under threat, but that's how these sorts of astroturfed moral panics work, and it could be that they're looking to replicate some of that magic now, taking down a standard that they hope to frame as an example of liberal overreach, telling people that these things take away their right to choose what they want to buy, and how much energy or fuel to burn, even when that's not actually true.There's also a chance, as I mentioned earlier, though, that this is just a trial balloon, and that once they realize there's a decent amount of bipartisan support for this program, they'll step back from this cut, and maybe even claim it for themselves, using it as an example of American exceptionalism: look how great American-made goods are, we're more efficient than anybody else—not bad messaging at a time in which that kind of competitive language is popular with those in charge, though that competition might not be the real point of all this, at least for some of the people making some of these decisions, right now.Show Noteshttps://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2025/05/09/trump-budget-cuts-environmental-programs/83441472007/https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/epa-launches-biggest-deregulatory-action-us-historyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Zeldinhttps://web.archive.org/web/20201214180957/https://www.energystar.gov/about/origins_mission/energy_star_overview/about_energy_star_residential_sectorhttps://web.archive.org/web/20161202012204/https://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=about.ab_milestoneshttps://web.archive.org/web/20170622184250/http://www.dailytech.com/New+Energy+Star+50+Specs+for+Computers+Become+Effective+Today/article15559.htmhttps://insideclimatenews.org/news/08052025/energy-star-program-could-be-eliminated-by-trump-administration/https://cleantechnica.com/2025/05/10/energy-star-program-gets-the-kiss-of-death/https://www.theverge.com/news/664670/water-energy-efficiency-standards-trump-dishwasher-washing-machine-showerhead-toilethttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_Starhttps://edition.cnn.com/2025/05/06/climate/energy-star-trumphttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/06/climate/epa-energy-star-eliminated.htmlhttps://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2025/05/06/energy-star-program-epa-trump/https://www.energy.gov/eere/buildings/energy-starhttps://www.npr.org/2025/05/07/g-s1-64905/energy-star-program-cutshttps://apnews.com/article/trump-appliances-consumers-energy-efficiency-3b6100e001a2629dfea9be231f467841https://www.reuters.com/article/business/environment/trump-finalizes-rollback-of-obama-era-vehicle-fuel-efficiency-standards-idUSKBN21I25R/https://apnews.com/article/climate-trump-mpg-fuel-economy-standards-automakers-0ef9147a0c3874a50a194e439f604261https://apnews.com/article/vehicle-fuel-economy-requirement-nhtsa-epa-85e4c3b7bbba9a9a9b7e5b117fe099bdhttps://apnews.com/article/epa-electric-vehicles-emissions-limits-climate-biden-e6d581324af51294048df24269b5d20ahttps://www.nhtsa.gov/laws-regulations/corporate-average-fuel-economy This is a public episode.

From Google's surprising search decline to Alberta's political maneuvers and OpenAI's evolving partnership with Microsoft, this episode delivers in-depth analysis and thought-provoking insights.Alberta's Exit Threat: Political Reality or Empty Rhetoric? (00:04:20)* In a passionate speech, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith called for significant changes, including scrapping Bill C-69 and easing pipeline restrictions. While her stance highlights Alberta's grievances over federal policies, talk of a potential referendum on separation looms large.John's take: Alberta's frustrations are rooted in a decade of feeling undervalued, but the talk of separation could harm Canada's stability on the global stage. Is this a legitimate political movement or a pressure tactic to get Ottawa's attention?OpenAI's Partnership Drama: Can Microsoft Keep Control? (00:09:36)* OpenAI's revenue-sharing deal with Microsoft faces renegotiation, as the AI giant's financial projections for 2030 are far lower than initially expected. With Microsoft holding critical infrastructure leverage, how will OpenAI balance growth aspirations with strategic partnerships?John's take: The entry of a new executive at OpenAI may signal a strategic pivot as the organization navigates both its nonprofit roots and commercial ambitions.Apple vs. Google: The Browser Battle Intensifies (00:13:45)* Apple's decision to challenge Google's default search dominance has sent shockwaves through the tech world. As the DOJ moves to bar Google from maintaining exclusivity on third-party browsers, could this spark a major shift in browser market dynamics?John's take: Apple's track record with AI has been inconsistent, but disrupting Google's foothold might be a game-changer in the long run.Is Google Losing Its Search Dominance? (00:15:09)* Google's recent sell-off raised eyebrows, fueled by statements hinting at a decline in search usage. John Ruffolo dives into the implications of Google's search being “under attack” and the strategic shifts at play. Is the rise of AI-powered alternatives like ChatGPT fundamentally altering how people search for information?John's take: Google's maneuver might be an attempt to alleviate DOJ antitrust pressure. If Google's dominance in search truly falters, what could this mean for the future of the tech giant?Education Disrupted: The AI Cheating Debate (00:16:52)* A viral article from New York Magazine claims students are increasingly using AI tools like ChatGPT to bypass traditional academic tasks. Is this cheating, or a natural evolution of how technology reshapes education?John's take: Comparing the rise of AI tools to the introduction of calculators in schools, John questions whether the educational system needs a fundamental rethink to adapt to the digital age.Investing Evolution: CO2 Opens the Doors to Smaller Investors (00:19:27)* A new fund from CO2, backed by Bezos and Dell, allows investors to contribute as little as $50,000. Is this democratization of venture capital a positive trend, or a risky dilution of strategic investment?John's take: This could signal a growing divide between massive investment conglomerates and boutique, specialized investors.

It's become a surprisingly common occurrence, and in this episode, you'll hear Ronan Mc Laughlin and Dave Rome explain how it all works.You'll also hear about Campagnolo's latest spotted new drivetrain, and why it likely spells a wider change to 13-speed. Also, Ronan and Dave discuss the new Cannondale Synapse and its rather confusing overlap with other bikes in Cannondale's range. The conversation then moves to cover other new products and industry news.Finally, Escape Collective members will hear our popular Ask a Wrench segment. This week, Ronan and Dave answer member-submitted questions related to their favourite Co2 inflator heads (and preferred alternatives), an update to the Classified two-speed hub system, and calibrating power meters. As a reminder, you'll need to be a member of Escape Collective (go here) in order to access this popular segment of the podcast.
