On a February evening in 2020, a pipeline carrying carbon dioxide (CO2) ruptured in Mississippi. It sent a cloud of asphyxiating gas into the community of Satartia, causing 49 people to be hospitalized with severe respiratory symptoms. First responders had a hard time rescuing people, because the internal combustion engines on ambulances couldn’t operate in air with high concentrations of CO2. Soon, more communities across the country could face terrifying and potentially deadly accidents like this one. As the climate crisis worsens, the federal government is investing in expensive, unproven technologies to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere instead of simply cutting emissions. These technologies reduce CO2 levels either by removing the compound from the exhaust of burning coal or natural gas in a process called carbon capture and storage, or by extracting it directly from the air in a process called direct air capture. Once removed, the CO2 has to be shipped or piped somewhere. But it reacts with moisture in the air to form an acid, which can corrode pipelines, tank trunks and railroad tank cars, making them more likely to rupture. After it reaches its destination, the CO2 is often injected into underground wells for storage. These wells can leak, endangering drinking water — and lives — in nearby communities. The Department of Energy claims these technologies are essential for tackling climate change. But the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the foremost scientific authority on the subject, says carbon capture and storage is one of the least effective and most expensive emissions reduction methods. The group also warns that direct air capture is “subject to multiple feasibility and sustainability constraints” — and that it could consume the world’s entire current electric generation output. These technologies also create a number of other environmental, social, technical and economic risks. They serve only to greenwash the fossil fuel industry as it continues business — and emissions — as usual. And unfortunately, the industry is getting help from the government, which — in spite of the serious risks and questionable benefits — envisions a massive buildout of CO2 transport and storage, multiplying the risks of incidents such as the Satartia leak. This fall, the Department of Energy issued a request for information seeking input on starting a Carbon Transport Research, Development & Demonstration Consortium, which will coordinate research and development on transportation of CO2 by pipeline, rail, truck, ship and barge. The process was secretive, restrictive and exclusionary. The notice was published on FedConnect, an online portal for prospective sellers of goods and services to the federal government that requires an account to access. The Department of Energy did not issue a press release or attempt to disseminate the announcement broadly. The request for information, which closed in early October, avoided the most fundamental questions: Is the large-scale transportation of CO2 even a good idea? And should the federal government be in the business of facilitating it? It says the agency “intends to launch the consortium after reviewing responses,” implying the department has already made up its mind. The proposed consortium will consist of three standing committees — one for federal agency staff, one for federally funded research institutions and one for representatives of “Non-Governmental Organizations, Industry and Other Subject Matter Experts.” Members of this third committee are required to have at least an undergraduate science or technology degree and experience in the “carbon management infrastructure value chain.” These requirements and obscure technical jargon shut out input from most members of communities impacted by CO2 transportation — and privilege industry representatives instead. This is nothing short of a reckless large-scale experiment at the expense of public health, safety and input. We must resist these egregiously irresponsible plans and demand that our government prioritize real climate solutions, not industry greenwashing that puts our communities at risk.

The new-look league phase has officially caused plenty of drama in the UEFA Champions League, leaving several European heavyweights in perilous position with three games left to book a spot in the knockout rounds. Even though the league phase guaranteed stiff competition for teams of all strength levels, few would have anticipated that Real Madrid and Manchester City would be in tricky spots after Matchday 5. They are far from the only ones, though, whose hopes of advancing might go down to the wire – Paris Saint-Germain are surprisingly outside the top 24, while RB Leipzig are somehow still waiting for their first point in the Champions League this season. Those who are in the top eight at this point – including top sides like Liverpool and Barcelona and surprise contenders like Monaco and Atalanta – have the knockouts in their sights, but for the rest, there's still much work to do. There are reasons to panic for many teams sitting outside the top eight, but their worries definitely vary. As the league phase inches closer to its conclusion, here's how panicky Europe's top teams should be. Champions League standings Key: Positions 1-8 qualify for Round of 16 while positions 9-24 qualify for Knockout Phase Play-Offs and positions 25-36 are eliminated. Let's assign levels of panic for the big dogs that are struggling. One is very little reason to worry while 10 is full panic mode with changes needed immediately. Bayern Munich Remaining schedule (all times U.S./Eastern): Dec. 10, 3 p.m.: Shakhtar Donetsk vs. Bayern Munich Jan. 22, 3 p.m.: Feyenoord vs. Bayern Munich Jan. 29, 3 p.m.: Bayern Munich vs. Slovan Bratislava It has not exactly been smooth sailing for Bayern Munich so far in the league phase, but outside their 4-1 loss to Barcelona, they have generally been the better team in each of the games they have played so far. They have earned a firm spot in the top 24 and the top eight is still well within touching distance, putting them in strong position to advance. That's without glancing at their upcoming schedule, which is very favorable to the German giants. Panic level: 4/10 Real Madrid Remaining schedule (all times U.S./Eastern): Dec. 10, 3 p.m.: Atalanta vs. Real Madrid Jan. 22, 3 p.m.: Real Madrid vs. RB Salzburg Jan. 29, 3 p.m.: Brest vs. Real Madrid Earning just six points from 15 and sitting 24th, a spot in the top eight feels out of reach at this point, even if a spot in the knockout rounds are well within grasp. The good news for Real Madrid is that they are undoubtedly good enough to win any of their remaining games, even if Atalanta surprisingly snuck into the top eight and Brest are not far behind in 11th. The bad news is that the reigning European champions are not playing like a heavyweight, and they need to figure out how to fix that in order to actually capitalize on the opportunity in front of them. Panic level: 7/10 Manchester City Remaining schedule (all times U.S./Eastern): Dec. 11, 3 p.m.: Juventus vs. Manchester City Jan. 22, 3 p.m.: Paris Saint-Germain vs. Manchester City Jan. 29, 3 p.m.: Manchester City vs. Club Brugge Manchester City are doing slightly better than Real Madrid with eight points, but the situation is awfully similar – the 2023 champions have the ability to beat anyone but certainly are not playing like it. Unlike Madrid, though, City's remaining schedule is full of some obvious challenges. Juventus have conceded just five goals this season, which could make things difficult for an increasingly stifled City offense, while Paris Saint-Germain's desperation for points could make their Matchday 7 meeting interesting. Pep Guardiola and company have enough to dig themselves out of this hole, but they are really going to need to prove it with three games left in the league phase. Panic level: 8/10 Paris Saint-Germain Remaining schedule (all times U.S./Eastern): Dec. 10, 3 p.m.: RB Salzburg vs. Paris Saint-Germain Jan. 22, 3 p.m.: Paris Saint-Germain vs. Manchester City Jan. 29, 3 p.m.: Stuttgart vs. Paris Saint-Germain If there was an award for the surprise team outside the top 24, PSG would be the obvious choice. They were arguably dealt the worst hand after being signed up to face Arsenal, Bayern and Manchester City in the league phase, but there have been few positives to take from this season so far in the Champions League. They have just one victory in five, doing little to inspire confidence in Luis Enrique's post-Kylian Mbappe rebuild, even in the one game they won. They can still turn things around and find a spot in the top 24, but they have no points to waste with three games to go and so the games against RB Salzburg and Stuttgart are essentially must-wins. PSG, though, might also need to hope that City's form continues for another two months because they might need something out of that crucial game, too. Panic level: 9/10YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (AP) — Max Burton and Brandon Muntu both had 18 points in Western Michigan's 73-62 victory against Youngstown State on Wednesday. Burton had 12 rebounds for the Broncos (3-4). Muntu went 6 of 9 from the field (4 for 4 from 3-point range). Markhi Strickland had 16 points and shot 5 of 13 from the field and 5 of 11 from the free-throw line. The Penguins (2-5) were led by EJ Farmer, who posted 20 points. Juwan Maxey added 12 points and seven assists for Youngstown State. Nico Galette finished with nine points, seven rebounds and four steals.
