New from me: I spoke to two scientists who originally helped spread the use of carbon capture. They now say it's being misused. Here's why (gift link):

In 1992, the Premier League was established, and governments pledged to prevent 'dangerous' climate change.

One of those things didn't work out.

Our second bonus essay delves deeper into carbon sucking, and explores why net-zero might be the most dangerous moment in history.

So it's official; the world's governments have failed to take the necessary actions and we're now going to #overshoot the goals of the Paris #climate accord

How should we make sense of this moment? And where do we go from here?

@overshootpod.bsky.social offers some suggestions

"Let's say we reach net-zero in 2050, the political narrative around climate change is that that's kind of mission accomplished... but that's the most dangerous moment in history!

Because at the moment of net-zero... the earth system is at its most destabilized" - @laurielaybourn.bsky.social

Where did climate change begin?

We tackle that question in the first of a series of bonus essays

We visit Coalbrookdale, where 300 years ago, something momentous happened

And the unintended consequences of it are coming back to bite us...

Who’s going to clean up the mess?

We hear the story of how all climate plans are dependent on one big idea. But it might not even work, and we didn’t vote for it. And it all started in Swedish paper mills...
