“There is a load of carbon in the Arctic soils. It’s close to half of the Earth’s soil carbon pool. That’s much more than there is in the atmosphere. There’s a huge potential reservoir that should ideally stay in the ground."

The Arctic–Boreal Zone is rapidly warming, impacting its large soil carbon stocks. Tundra regions may have already started to function on average as CO2 sources, demonstrating a shift in carbon dynamics. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Wildfires offset the increasing but spatially heterogeneous Arctic–boreal CO2 uptake - Nature Climate Change
How the carbon stocks of the Arctic–Boreal Zone change with warming is not well understood. Here the authors show that wildfires and large regional differences in net carbon fluxes offset the overall increasing CO2 uptake.

We (@clocarbon.bsky.social) spend our lives designing non-wealth-extracting, localised economies around the efficient and effective management of biogenic carbon.
Burying biomass/wood in "vaults" goes beyond a level of ignorance that is hard to comprehend.

(How) can we rely on self-regulation of voluntary carbon markets (#VCM)? How can we improve quality of the inherently complicated land of counter-factuals? How can we govern project-based climate action ( better)? The resignation of two experts from the #ICVCM Expert Panel carry important lessons 🧵

I think a lot about community opposition as a major barrier to the climate infrastructure we need, and I'm thrilled to have edited this fascinating deep dive into a small town's battle over biochar. grist.org/health/bioch...
This New York town doesn't want to be a climate experiment
A developer wanted to build a facility to capture carbon. Locals saw an environmental menace.

"Just half a pound of the stuff may remove as much carbon dioxide as a tree can". What the f**k does that even mean?
A mature tree removes ~25 kg of CO₂/year. This "new powder" is a sorbent with a capacity of 0.96 mmol/g, so that's 0.0096 kg of CO₂ per 0.5 lbs. You'd need 1305 lbs to equal a tree.

New powder that captures carbon could be ‘quantum leap’ for industry
A ‘covalent organic framework’ can be used to capture carbon to store it or convert it for industrial use
