I discovered three new geckos in Cambodia – and that’s not all

The vast majority of karsts are not protected, and the demand for cement is huge. This is not specific to Cambodia – it’s a global problem and the threat is imminent.

Very interesting article about how #species are discovered , classified and documented.

I discovered three new geckos in Cambodia’s limestone caves – and that’s not all we found

The whole ecosystem inside a cave feeds off guano, dead bats, or any dead animals on the ground. It’s not for the faint-hearted

Wow. This is really harsh criticism👍 of integrated assessment modelers and engineers who hide everything that challenges their lifestyle in fairy tales about CCS and H2. Allwood shows how #paper, #steel, #cement, #aluminum, #plastic, and #glass can only become climate-neutral through degrowth.

The best thing is his harsh language. He takes no prisoners, but shoots liars on sight.
No wonder. After all, it was their lies that always prevented greenhouse gas reductions from being implemented quickly enough to match the risk. Academia bears a huge share of the blame.

Too late for CCS and hydrogen - Nature Chemical Engineering

Fifty years after it was commercialized, global carbon capture and storage (CCS) capacity is equal to 0.09% of global emissions. Meanwhile, global emission-free electricity generation grows at a steady, linear rate. This Perspective argues that it is now too late for CCS or hydrogen to make a substantial contribution by 2050, so other solutions are required to decarbonize industry.
