#SubsidizingGreenwashing: industrial #carbonremoval is wildly #expensive, far too #energy- and #ResourceIntensive, and only removes pathetically small amounts of #carbon. It’s nowhere near being a #viablesolution to #climatechange.

Sweet suffering mother of the divine Jesus, #Biden is funding the gimmick of "carbon removal". You want to remove carbon? Build cycling infrastructure and public transport, renew America's giant rail lines, now used only for freight, to take passengers; even getting people to make one journey per day by bicycle will massively cut America's carbon pollution #CarbonRemoval #Gimmick #ClimateCrisis

@davidho if scientists understandably feel unqualified to tackle the messiness of #socialscience needed to drive #behaviourchange, I wish they dedicated themselves to *any* #climatetech BUT #carbonremoval #CDR, because it's 100% accelerating & encouraging MORE emissions. There are plenty of other areas like #CircularEconomy, #energytransition #smargrid #EV #retrofit where talents can/should be used...https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/mar/30/government-gambles-on-carbon-capture-and-storage-tech-despite-scientists-doubts

Van Butsic, an associate professor of Cooperative Extension in the UC Berkeley, Rausser College of Natural Resources, emphasizes the need to tackle both carbon emissions and removal. Like stopping water in an overflowing bathtub, reducing emissions is essential, but we must also "pull the plug" by removing existing carbon from the atmosphere.

Great trip to #NewYork in June! Helped promote #CarbonRemoval to Jefferies, saw apt #biochar -related art, and even raised awareness for #Refugees at the Queens Night Market! #nyc #ClimateChange #carbon #sdgs #sdg13

This also sounds exciting if it pans out and there are no uninteded consequences.

According to a new report by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, reducing greenhouse gas emissions is not enough to prevent dangerous climate change. We must also remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere using various technologies and natural solutions. U.S. should invest in research and development of carbon removal methods and set a national goal of removing 10 gigatons of CO2 annually by 2050.

Kerry Warns Against Faith in Carbon Removal Technologies

https://www.theenergymix.com/2023/05/02/kerry-warns-against-faith-in-carbon-removal-technologies/

"United States climate envoy John Kerry has added his voice to the chorus of lawmakers, advocates, and scientists urging that relying too heavily on carbon removal technologies to address climate change could prove irreversibly dangerous for the planet."
