'5% of global emissions are from producing new plastics, with 75% of these emissions occurring before the actual plastic polymer is made, making clear the impact of the full value chain approach on emissions' - Berkeley Lab ETA's Nihan Karali thehill.com/policy/energy-…

Alan has served on CRS' Board of Directors, Advisory Council & as a scientist mentor for 20+ years. While advancing the field of physics, he has inspired thousands of Ss to explore #STEM pathways. We're thrilled for him to receive 1 of the most distinguished science awards! 🥳

#DarkEnergy makes up most of our universe. To try to understand it, @DESIsurvey researchers use a cosmic ruler. Popular Mechanics #physics #universe

'The concern is, do we have enough resources to make all these lithium-ion #batteries for every application? That's part of the drive for the US government is to be thinking long term about other chemistries.' - Vincent Battaglia, Berkeley Lab ETA

🌧️ From 2022-2023, CA faced the longest duration of continuous atmospheric river (AR) conditions in the past 70 years. Berkeley Lab scientists are closing knowledge gaps about AR events that happen back-to-back. Learn more: bit.ly/4avyGlj DOE Office of Science @commsearth

Larger atmospheric rivers tend to occur within dense clusters of storms. And frequency and intensity increases with global warming. Yang Zhou Berkeley Lab

' #Greenhouse gas emissions from plastic production could reach nearly 7 gigatonnes of CO2 equivalent by 2050 in a 4% annual growth scenario without any further #decarbonization measures.' - Berkeley Lab ETA's Nihan Karali

Happy #EarthMonth ! #TBT to when the Department of State’s Educational & Cultural Affairs—U.S. Dept. of State Climate Smart TechWomen cohort signed their Climate Smart Women pledge, a commitment to climate action at a personal, professional, or community level, at our Lab in 2022! 🌍🌿 #ThrowbackThursday

Pollution from the plastics industry is a significant driver of global warming, releasing about 4X more planet-warming chemicals than airlines, per our scientists' latest findings. #PlasticPollution #ClimateCrisis
