The idea of ghosts appearing through technology is interesting, but also pretty common territory: EVP has been around for years, and many a Coast To Coast episode has been interrupted by one radio-friendly spirit or another. However, drkrm's Seeing Things, goes beyond just interesting. Seeing Things promises dozens upon dozens of otherwise mundane Polaroids obstructed by inexplicable white distortions. According to the
gallery’s website, the white blobs originate from a ghost apparently
named “WRIGHT”, who not only appears in images but also eerily written
messages. Quote the gallery:

"The messages began to appear on film in June 1992. The first was in
response to a friend’s question about the ghost, “Is he here now?” The
photo revealed a barely discernible “yes” in cloudy white shapes. After
that, the writing became far more legible."
Seeing Things is open through November 2.

California’s First Carbon Capture Project: Vital Climate Tool or License to Pollute?

California’s first attempt to capture and sequester carbon involves California Resources Corp. collecting emissions at its Elk Hills Oil and Gas Field, and then inject the gases more than a mile deep into a depleted oil reservoir. The goal is to keep carbon underground and out of the atmosphere, where it traps heat and contributes to climate change. But some argue polluting industries need to cease altogether.

A Battle Is Underway Over California’s Lucrative Dairy Biogas Market

California is considering changes to a program that has incentivized dairy biogas, to transform methane emissions into a source of natural gas. Neighbors are pushing for an end to the subsidies because of its impact on air quality and possible water pollution.
