Biogenic CH4 is a massive contributor to climate change, and could cause catastrophic impacts if further reservoirs of CH4 are released. Research peatlands and methane hydrates, not to mention the methane emissions of ruminants.

With early major tipping points (amoc, Arctic sea ice, Greenland ice sheet, West Antarctic Ice Sheet) are they expected to occur even if we hit net zero in the near term?
Would decades of current levels of w/m2 cause us to hit those tipping points, or do scientists think the w/m2 needs to be higher?

Thanks for the explanation, that is the main point I was getting at.
With aerosols, are they included in ghg calculations? (As a gas with a negative co2e due to their net cooling effect?) If not, then their reduction would further evidence that warming will continue after net zero, correct?

Does consensus science assume that other physical effects (either anthropogenic or caused by feedback loops) are negligible in their impact on radiative forcing? I would imagine that contrails, irreversible ice cap melt, other albedo changes, reducing sulfur emissions, may still increase w/m2

Can you explain why heating stops at net zero? Wouldn’t the existence of feedback loops e.g continued polar ice melt at higher temperatures lead to continued heating for some time after net zero?

I’ve seen it stated (possibly in your first book) that our rate of ghg is higher than at any point in the last several hundred million years, let alone since K-T. Is this true, and what are the best sources to learn about this?

The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs,
Brusatte: 9/10. Fantastic. I do think his book on mammals is his magnum opus; both are must reads.
How Asia Works, Studwell: 7.2/10
Enjoyable, information dense read. Challenges western narratives of Asian development.
See my Goodreads for in-depth reviews.

Also your book Rise and Reign of Mammals is bar none my favorite evolutionary biology/nature book of all time. I work in habitat conservation/ restoration; Your book is inspiring, and it illuminates the true splendor of natural ecosystems at their full potential. Thank you for what you do!

Will do! What about interactions between the titanosaurs and carcharodontosaurids in South America, or between tyrannosaurs and giant sauropods in Asia? With these predator-prey dynamics; is it similar to lion-elephant interactions, where adult elephants are too large for lions to hunt?

Just finished rise of dinosaurs! Thank you for writing it! One question I had while readiing, did the presence of T. Rex in western North America preclude cohabitation with giant sauropods? Was there any overlap of T.rex with giant sauropods in southern North America?

Cheers! Your sections on techno-optimists, tech CDR and DAC are especially superb. I think you’re right up there with Goodell, Brennan, Wagner for best climate author. I work in NCS; everyone needs to hear your perspective on systems change over tech fixes.
I look forward to reading your next book!

Dr. Guenther, your book is fantastic. I think it is the best resource around to learn how to effectively communicate the climate crisis.
There is one error in Chapter 5, where you are explaining area needed for 1 mt of DAC. “over one whole football field” should be “over 1,000 football fields”

There is a dogmatic obsession with removals credits, which is championed by the techno-optimists and wealthy industrialists that are ideologically opposed to accepting systems change and nature-based solutions to the climate crisis. Our focus should be on supporting high integrity standards…

The notion that the allure of “contribution claims” will deliver the necessary amount of finance to conserving nature is fantastical thinking. The leading scientific frameworks (Oxford Net Zero, TFCI) emphasize that reduction credits are more valuable in short term and should be prioritized.

Climate Politics…, Guenther 9/10
Must read, Guenther expertly disassembles deleterious narratives over the full spectrum of climate messaging. Light on the climate science, but heavy in its discussion of climate change economics. Very accessible to the layman.
