Bringing a splash colour to the first post!
Timelapse from the first CO2 drawdown of the Carbon Lock Project process.
Shows the pH drop of the sorbent produced in the CLock process, as CO2 absorption and dissolution to carbonic acid leads to neutralisation.

The sponge that just won't saturate: radiative forcing in a hothouse Earth
Teaching undergrad spectroscopy was much about theory, with a bit of lab practical, and little on critical applications. Greenhouse gases (GHGs) were covered in terms of line densities, atmospheric re...

News that shocks no one: Carbon offsets do nothing for climate.
Carbon offsets fail to cut global heating due to ‘intractable’ systemic problems, study says
Analysis of 25 years of evidence shows most schemes are poor quality and fail to lower emissions
