Google’s carbon emissions just went up again

theverge.com Emma Roth 2025-08-23 01:08:04

That puts Google farther away from its goal of slashing planet-heating pollution in half by 2030 compared to a 2019 baseline. But what it calls “ambition-based” emissions excludes certa

Methane Pollution Has Cheap, Effective Solutions That Aren’t Being Used

wired.com Umair Irfan 2025-09-02 09:00:00

This story originally appeared on Vox and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Odorless and colorless, methane is a gas that is easy to miss—but it’s one of the most important contributors to global warming. It can trap up to 84 times as much heat as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, though it breaks down much faster. Measured over 100 years, its warming effect is about 30 times that of an equivalent amount of carbon dioxide. That means that over the course of decades, it takes smaller a
