We looked at this, and for 2.7gtons co2/yr of removal we’d need equivalent of about 2x global coal production in rock en-roads.climateinteractive.org/scenario.htm...

Can removals be measured/verified? Like…how to ensure the rock was definitely not going to have this normal chemical reaction happen w/o us?? And be sure the co2 gets captured durably?

Mixed. We’re just 100+ days past Helene, nothing rebuilt, still clearing debris, waiting for $. Asheville is looking at zoning, but there are challenges to planning for climate change. The likelihood of disasters is increasing fast and gov, banks, insurance, etc aren’t setup to acct for the new odds

After Helene we were in crisis response for wks. I work/think about climate everyday, but all of a sudden I’m just trying to unload a truck of water for people and climate change feels far. W/ time though it sinks in. Watching the fires in LA now, I see many here in NC making the connections.

Particularly good accompaniment for a 1st roadtrip in the EV. Charging infrastructure along the I-81 corridor is coming along.

One story, was about how a feature on a mountain ridge was known as the “sleeping bear” because a glacial ice field looked like a blanket covering a silhouette of a sleeping bear. Remember that one man said, now they say the bear is awake, because the glacier is gone.
