Spark Climate Solutions

New research led by Spark estimates warming-induced emissions from permafrost thaw, wildfires, and other sources could amplify global warming by approximately 20–30% & add an estimated 0.2–0.4°C of warming this century (with significant uncertainty).

Big story in this week’s @TheEconomist about a major risk we are also increasingly focused on: Earth is reflecting less sunlight back into space, rapidly increasing Earth’s Energy Imbalance and making the world hotter.

What do 250 scientists from dozens of countries and disciplines all agree on?

That cutting methane is one of the best tools we have to slow warming

That we can and should move much faster on methane action

And that we have a plan to do just that

New research from @MIT's Qindan Zhu and Arlene Fiore—supported in part by Spark—explores how climate change could alter the chemistry that removes methane from the atmosphere.

The Endangerment Finding—a key pillar of U.S. climate policy—is on the chopping block.

New DOE emails show the report used to justify repeal was deeply flawed and shaped to support a predetermined outcome. New piece by Spark's Phil Duffy for @UCSUSA : blog.ucs.org/science-blogge…
