Last year a couple of shop mobs gave me the option of opting out of Christmas ads. I wish they were still doing so.

It’s endurance state until 26 December when it all goes away for another year.

	It’s worth noting that the nature-based carbon removal sector is in its infancy. There is a relatively small volume of removal-based credits in the voluntary carbon market, where projects have so far tended to focus instead on avoiding emissions by protecting existing ecosystems. The buyers of expensive removal-based credits are today a relatively small group of companies, which tend to have an especially rigorous approach to sustainability.

FT has been doing some great stuff on climate recently. This article looks at 'green grabbing' - land grabs being done in the loose, bad-faith name of carbon removal or renewable energy construction

Stunning development in scholarly publishing. NYPL will be digitizing "entire out-of-print backlists" of multiple academic presses and making them available.

I know of at least two more!
