Well... Maybe someone gets the idea to bomb cannabis seeds on police- or court properties in states that criminalise growing it. They could arrest or sure each other.

Texas: A state of denial | climate change is gonna mess with Texas

Understandable but the point is that far right and fascist parties thrive the worse the problems become. They just blame all problems on minorities and sow hatred. As a result, all the pain and frustration from the problems get channeled into their agenda and they get more votes=more power=more money. That happens world wide.

How carbon removal technology is like a time machine | Sucking greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere could help address climate change. So far, available technology is barely winding the clock back

I get that carbon collection on industry exhausts are necessary and a must have for a lot of products (like steel). But other than that this is silly. Plant trees and use them to build stuff, plant new trees after that. Rinse, repeat.

Re-purposing malls as solarpunk co-housing
Reply in thread
Marc Augé even called them "non-places", spaces without any sense of identity and belonging. Everything in there is just optimized for consumption and commerce. Malls are very specialised as you described, rendering them obsolete as soon as circumstances shift a little. Just speaks die the short-sightedness of their developers and the municipality that thought of them as a good idea.

Two former Department of Energy staffers warn we’re doing carbon removal all wrong

The most obvious lever for that is a CO2 emissions price on the same level as the price for its removal. CRT are insanely expensive so an emissions price based on that is nicely arguable as long as they promote CRT and the high emissions price would accelerate the transition immensely.
Tax every single thing based on the CO2 equivalent emissions over its entire lifecycle and use those funds for an equal payout to every citizen to offset the social inequality of such a tax.

Stop Planting Trees, Says Guy Who Inspired World to Plant a Trillion Trees

Good book. I think the thumbnail sounds up the main problem with mindless tree planting. Monocultures, isolated from historic biomes won't become healthy ecosystems at all but fall prey to bugs and disease. Same as with human culture, biodiversity is needed for it to thrive.

Steam Controller
Meh,I tried it playing dead space and it wasn't working well. If course, it has less moving parts and the quality is great but the touch pads were a lot less responsive than regular analog sticks imho. But that may just be my personal taste.
