Making a bad system (offsetting) more efficient makes things worse… and here the unintended effect of validating fungibility between carbon and albedo is disastrous (as it risks legimating substitution of solar geoengineering for emissions cuts)!
I can't emphasize this too much. Scientists who may be well intentioned and favor solar geoengineering research because "it's just research" and do not approve of deployment will not be the ones who decide whether to deploy whatever ... www.gravityisgone.com/letting-sili...

Thanks for highlighting the source. Nature should be ashamed to publish this hype-ridden excuse for analysis. The first test of any evaluation of AI is if it defines what it includes in that term. This fails…
If you’re worried that the world is sliding into solar geoengineering… you might want to read my new article, critiquing the loose use of “risk-risk” claims about climate intervention (#geoengineering). Brief summary and full article link here www.linkedin.com/pulse/from-f...
Strong analysis, but still hoping that impacts will stimulate action. Unfortunately everything so far suggests that growing impacts exacerbate denial to the point that systems are too broken to take action… we need a narrative of social and ecological repair www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

happy to profile our research in The Guardian today
Abstracted notions of equality, diversity and inclusion are almost entirely absent in plans developed by deprived communities which are more likely to focus on tangible issues of local importance such as access to affordable housing, health and service provision. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
Oh look, tech company emissions are already up 150%, and the AI data center build out has just gotten started.
AI doesn’t help you work less or get paid more, but does destroy the environment and climate.
Revealed preference WITHIN a system predicated on growing consumption, that is, amongst those lacking agency to change the system…
I don’t know whether this says more about ordinary Brits or about YouGov. Interesting results but poorly selected and framed questions…

I thought that was the mainstream, conventional interpretation not an “interesting take” …
Having said that, funding CDR development through offsets is a fool’s errand, resulting directly in mitigation deterrence, and sustaining counterproductive market ideologies in climate policy.
Not quite. Removal offsets could exist only for genuinely impossible to abate emissions. At the same time, taking net-zero seriously, with all possible-to-abate emissions eliminated, there could be no avoidance offsets (as no one would have further cuts they could make to generate credits).

TSA Says Its Credit Cards for Bomb-Sniffing Dogs Are Cut Off
The statement follows an alleged internal email which said requests for dog food and vet visits had been put on hold.
“There is extreme danger in launching such field trials into an environment with neither national nor international governance in place.” But well governed research into geoengineering risks would be wise. The key question is why so many SRM advocates resist effective governance for research?

One to post where MAGA can see it:
It was always a mistake to try to sell CDR by promising it could decarbonize oil. People who want oil don't really care whether it's decarbonized or not.
Only a real climate politics — the one that actually phases out fossil fuels — will deliver carbon removal, expensive and challenging as it is.
When I wrote in a novel, some years ago, ‘We live in the light that comes to us’ that carried within it, for me, the idea that sometimes there is very little, sometimes there is mostly darkness.
It is still our time, we do what we can.

RFK JR on Measles Outbreaks: It is not unusual. There are measles outbreaks every year.
Nothing about kids dying from measles is normal. Anti-vaxxers like RFK Jr. and the Republicans who enable them are responsible for every single one of these deaths.
