Tectonically active mountains play an important role in the natural CO2 regulation of the atmosphere. Competing processes take place here: At Earth's surface, erosion drives weathering processes that absorb or release CO2, depending on the type of rock. At depth, the heating and melting of carbonate rock leads to the outgassing of CO2 at the surface.
With a federal subsidy that has provided less expensive or free broadband internet to more than 23 million American households due to run out of money by the end of May, a new University of Massachusetts Amherst study reveals that direct-to-consumer subsidies can be far more effective at connecting households to high-speed internet than expanding broadband infrastructure.

Now, some publishers are feeling a new threat: carbon filtering tools and blocklists from firms like Scope3 and Good-Loop that let ad buyers filter the lowest carbon-emitting publishers. Publishers are upset that companies don’t notify them when they’re on a blocklist. ADWEEK found four titles from one publisher on...
