Excellent!
The IPCC says that Carbon Dioxide Removal is "unavoidable", so why is CDR so controversial?

An extremely important article, written by a freelancer, that explains why there is such a huge disconnect between climate rhetoric and action. Because policy makers listen to neo-classical economists but never tell you. theintercept.com/2023/10/29/w... (At times a little polemical.)

The problem with those calculations is that they assume that we will reach net zero some time this century. So far, I can only call that science fiction.

Some are saying bsky is an echo chamber. It probably is, but I have a mission here: climate activism needs to move on from looking at denial and not enough action, on to the big cheat of the corporate, government and scientific elite capture. The big trap where "net zero" is only a part.

I can't stress this enough - colonialism and the climate crisis are one and the same. We should be much more concerned about the solutions now being sold than about "not enough is being done". braveneweurope.com/wolfgang-kno...
It is so remarkable - and a sign of poor health in our movement - that this is even a question that needs asking.
Carbon-intensive militarism, land grabs, fights over extraction sites, the impacts of climate change....how could any of this be a mystery to you, if you're working in climate spaces?

Clare Farrell told me. I didn't know, couldn't believe it. What a loss!

An illustration of the key uncertainties in future projections of climate change:
1) Scenarios (we don't know where emissions are going)
2) Carbon cycle uncertainties
3) Climate response uncertainties
This is an illustration, so don't go overboard interpreting values & shares!
