How should we compare CO2 removal approaches that work on different parts of the carbon cycle and act on different timescales? Our newest article explores how to make better comparisons in both market and policy contexts. carbonplan.org/research/cdr-…

Comparing carbon removal approaches that act over different timescales – CarbonPlan

There are good reasons to be excited about harnessing rock weathering to remove CO2 from the atmosphere. But demonstrating that enhanced weathering actually works is surprisingly tricky. We're releasing a new tool that we hope can help. carbonplan.org/research/ew-q…

Quantifying enhanced weathering – CarbonPlan

A tool for exploring methods used to quantify enhanced weathering outcomes.

As rising temperatures threaten the health of populations worldwide, people need to know when and where extreme heat will occur. We collaborated with @washingtonpost, creating a new dataset that is the basis for an important series. washingtonpost.com/climate-e…

Where dangerous heat is surging

By 2050, over 5 billion people could face at least a month of extreme heat each year. See the risk level in your city.

1/ In “2C” we mapped the world’s hotspots. With “Invisible” we tracked greenhouse gas emissions entering the atmosphere. Now, in “The Human Limit” @washingtonpost captures how extreme heat and other climate impacts threaten human health across the globe. washingtonpost.com/climate-e…

Climate-fueled disease — tied to heat, pathogens and toxins — is an emerging, lethal threat that countries are ill-prepared to confront. The Post visited ground zero for this new era, Pakistan, to...

“The Post analysis showed that by 2030, 500 million people around the world, particularly in places such as South Asia and the Middle East, would be exposed to such extreme heat for at least a month — even if they can get out of the sun.” washingtonpost.com/climate-e…

wonderfully touching piece on emo music from my dear friend peter — and also satisfying vindication for all of the emo i was listening to at the start of college

Me, calling teen me via timephone: I reviewed an oral history of 2000s emo! Teen: Isn't emo ... embarrassing? Me: 'Looking back on my younger self’s embarrassment over emo’s too-muchness, I see that what really embarrassed me was myself.' Teen: 🙎 newyorker.com/books/page-tur…

When Emo Conquered the Mainstream

A new oral history of the musical genre follows the arc of an emo song—one that celebrates a maligned, angsty outsider triumphing over the haters and cool kids.

On Tuesday, Alaska passed a bill authorizing the development of carbon offset projects on State forests. Our new commentary discusses why this program could be a loss for the climate and the credibility of the voluntary carbon market. (1/2) carbonplan.org/research/fore…

Additionality risks in Alaska’s proposed forest offsets program – CarbonPlan

Alaska passed a bill that allows state forests to join the voluntary carbon market. We summarize the evidence that this program might result in non-additional offset credits.

I guess the only other thing I'd add is that it's incredibly depressing to see OpenAI go even further in the direction of being the world's most ironically named company. They're setting a precedent that other big industry groups will follow. It's a sad day for science.
