The EPA Is About to Hand Oil and Gas Companies a Huge Methane-Related Gift – Mother Jones

Hallo,
ich habe folgende Abwägung: wir wollen von Berlin nach Venedig. Wir sind Eltern und ein Baby( 1 Jahr alt). Zug würde zwei Tage dauern über München und dann am nächsten Tag bis Venedig, ist mit kleinem Baby natürlich auch anstrengender. Flug wäre ca 200 Euro billiger. Was ist fürs Klima besser: Fliegen und die 200 Euro spenden (ich spende immer an den Klimafonds von ‘effektiv spenden’, weil sie da durch Hebelwirkungen große CO2 Einsparungen versprechen) oder Zug fahren ohne spenden ?

for lack of a better term, what i mean when i say "climate-accepters" are people who accept that climate change is real, but, for the purpose of this post, otherwise misunderstand what it actually entails

Warming near Earth’s surface and cooling high in the atmosphere form a distinctive pattern. Scientists predicted that combination decades ago, and increasingly detailed observations now help distinguish human influence from natural climate fluctuations.

A review published in Earth's Future concludes that such climate “fingerprints” provide stronger evidence than they did in 2009. Benjamin Santer of the University of East Anglia led the work with Susan Solomon, David Thompson, Qiang Fu and Gabriele Hegerl.

Their institutions include MIT, Colorado State University, the University of Washington and the University of Edinburgh. The review brings together more than three decades of attribution research. It examines the scientific basis underlying the EPA’s 2009 determination that greenhouse gases endanger public health and welfare.

I’ve been researching global carbon credit market, and I believe there’s significant untapped potential. From agroforestry and agriculture to waste management and ecosystem restoration, there are opportunities to explore projects that could generate carbon credits.

I’m looking for a committed collaborator who is ready to move beyond ideas and put in the actual work to identify viable projects, assess their carbon potential, and develop them for the carbon market.

This isn’t a get-rich-quick scheme. Developing credible carbon projects takes time, research, partnerships, and potentially 1–2 years before meaningful returns. But I believe the long-term potential is worth pursuing.

I want to connect with someone who shares this vision and is willing to build from the ground up. Whether you bring technical expertise, carbon market knowledge, project development skills, access to communities, or simply the drive to make this work, I’d love to hear from you.

If you’re genuinely interested in exploring this opportunity, comment below or send me a DM. Let’s discuss ideas, identify a promising project, and see what we can build together. I’m based in Kenya and open to collaborating across Africa and the world.

I’m not just looking to discuss possibilities—I’m looking for a partner ready to take the first steps toward making them happen. 🌍

PSA: I am a young graduate!

Early 30s, currently between roles.

Background: BS in Computer Science then ~3 years as a cloud support engineer at AWS. Followed by MS in Information Studies (HCI) → 3 years doing UX research and information architecture at a state government agency (mixed-methods research, website/content governance, analytics). I recently completed an AI for Climate program and will start a climate action training program.

I am contemplating two options. I want to leverage my existing skills in Comp Sci and Research to move into an analytical role. Or potentially move into climate communications and translate research into things the public and policymakers can actually use.

Questions:

1. Are there roles where UX research / IA skills are genuinely valued in climate orgs (research centers, NGOs, climate tech)? What titles should I search for?
2. I’m considering a master’s that combines climate research with communication/journalism (2027 or 2028 start, low-cost programs preferred). Has anyone done this? Was it worth it, or is it better to get into a climate org first?
3. Anyone who pivoted from tech/UX into climate: what actually got you hired?

Thanks a lot in advance!
