Bose introduced the latest version of its $359 QuietComfort Headphones, which have a revamped design, improved active noise cancellation and several features carried over from the higher-end “Ultra” model bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

We review the Trump phone - for $499, its specifications aren’t bad. But it’s mostly a gold-painted HTC device from two years ago, likely isn’t actually made in the US and there’s a reason the President has stuck to his iPhone. bloomberg.com/news/features/…
Yet another excellent provocative must-read by @MLiebreich for all sides in the climate and energy world.
The #PragmaticClimateReset is a two part-essay calling for a reset in our approach to climate action. Part I shows why narratives trumpeting the failure of efforts to date are wrong. Part II says that, nevertheless, the climate community now needs to change its approach. 1/n

Pissing off both sides doesn’t actually mean you’re right. Except for @MichaelLiebrich, who has been much more right than wrong in the 15 years I’ve been following him, and admits & publishes his misses. Even on the few points I disagree with here, I’m going to think more about.

Targeting the wind industry because the president dislikes wind turbines off his golf courses is the kind of capricious policy that deters investment and undermines U.S. energy dominance.

Commonsense clean energy policy led to wind power providing 10%+ U.S. electricity in 2024—w/ major gigawatt projects planned. Chart shows huge $$ losses due to policies blocking wind buildouts. US will feel loss of jobs, higher utility bills, lower tax revenues, per analysis.
Trump’s anti-wind push could drive as much as $317 billion in lost investment. These states have the most at risk.

Hope @MikeGrunwald does a piece showing receipts that organic ag is bad. Not convinced. Healthy soil = more C & H2O storage, < erosion & N in ocean. And avoids poisoning pollinators: vital for yields, ecosystem services, biodiversity.
This was a good quote but I must admit I also liked “thrilling and provocative,” “riveting,” “beautiful,” and “profound.”

This week's episode of @cleaninguppod should be taught in schools. Ben van Beurden was CEO of Shell from 2014 to 2023. For part of that time I was an advisor to #Shell New Energies as he nudged the supertanker towards net zero. Listen to the inside story! youtube.com/watch?v=jImWveH7…

Since Twitter is suppressing this, I’ll repost it here. Tesla employees are calling for the CEO to go.

Ford CEO: "Let's be real honest: Long term, a 25% tariff across the Mexico and Canada borders would blow a hole in the U.S. [auto] industry that we've never seen.''

Back in July there was an #IPCC Expert Meeting on Land Use Emissions, specifically on how land use emissions are defined differently in IPCC Assessment Reports & IPCC Reporting Guidelines.
Is land use a source of +5GtCO2 or a sink of -2GtCO2?
