With a mixed-results at COP30 - i.e. good intentions but no concrete plans for the “transition away from fossil fuels” - don’t give up.
Let’s remember the progress made since the Paris Agreement and the options ahead of us. That’s the message of the image below

Normality bias - ‘the tendency to underestimate the likelihood or impact of a potential hazard, based on the belief that things will continue as they have in the past’ - is a very hard habit to break.

The most iconic figure in the environmental sciences is the Keeling Curve, the CO₂ record from Mauna Loa, Hawaii.
@noaa.gov had a wonderful site where you could visualize and download these data, and now it's just gone. These data belong to us and we should not let this happen!

It was another stunning year for global climate and weather extremes.
As data is processed and released in the first two weeks of January, you are going to be hearing all about these new historical records. Apologies for my many graphs in advance! 😬

If we look at cumulative CO₂ fluxes over the industrial era, the ocean is the only thing helping keep atmospheric CO₂ from rising even higher. The terrestrial biosphere is just taking up what it has emitted. 🌊

Good thread on the inevitability of offshore wind power from one of our portfolio co’s CEO.
1/n:
2024 has been a downer of a year for wind energy, especially offshore. But there is one bright spot that no one seems to be talking about-
According to Ember, in 2024, wind energy may just beat out nuclear to claim the title of delivering the most clean electrons worldwide (excluding hydro).

In my experience with early stage pitch decks, the better the renderings, or the fancier the video animations, or the more stock photography a pitch has, the less real progress the company has made.

Starting to see a new wave of startups using #AI / ML in #maritime applications -- wave/weather forecasting, maritime domain awareness, #biodiversity monitoring etc. Exciting. If you know people working in this space, send 'em my way.
