U.S. carbon pollution rose in 2025, a reversal from prior years, report says

U.S. emissions rose last year, new research says: The country spewed 2.4% more heat-trapping gases from the burning of fossil fuels in 2025 than in the year before.

Climate change, already causing problems on Earth, could soon create a mess for orbiting satellites

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology calculated that as global warming caused by burning of coal, oil, gas continues, it may reduce the available space for satellites in low Earth orbit by anywhere from one-third to 82% by the end of the century, depending on how much carbon pollution is spewed. That’s because space will become more littered with debris as climate change lessens nature’s way of cleaning it up.

We make garbage wherever we go...

Climate change, already causing problems on Earth, could soon create a mess for orbiting satellites

A new study finds that climate change is already causing all sorts of problems on Earth, but soon it will be making a mess in orbit around the planet too. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology calculate that as global warming continues it may reduce the available space for satellites in low Earth orbit by anywhere from one-third to 82% by the end of the century. That’s because climate change makes the upper atmosphere cooler and less dense. Dead satellites and debris won't fall to Earth as much, which is nature's way of cleaning up what humanity launches. So space will become more littered.

Cellular concrete may be a viable low-carbon alternative to traditional concrete for earthquake-resistant structures

Investigators have found that a product called cellular concrete may be an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional concrete for constructing earthquake-resistant buildings.

This is good framing: "carbon pollution".
Better than global heating. "Pollution" implies polluters, with addresses.
It also denies a sense that 'warming' or 'heating' might be okay. No, pollution is a bad thing.

We can't say that any particular #HeatWave is caused by #CarbonPollution. What we can say is that in #Chicago, for example, in the early 1990s, we experienced less than 10 days a year above 93 degrees. Now, we're in the teens. By 2050, we're projected to be close to 40. And scientists can say that *is* because of carbon pollution.
#CarbonFee and dividend policy would charge corporations for their #CarbonPollution, then distribute the money collected back to American households. This would force down carbon pollution while addressing cost increases for middle-class, working-class, and poor people.
