There have been many adventures and much personal growth; surely I started this at least... four people ago? I am surprised to realize I have grown into-- rather than out of-- the work. I think I might like it.

I am realizing this is my 15th year in oceanography. I am shocked to realize I have done this longer than I have done any other job or practiced any other skill. 🧵

"So if [carbon removal] is the only thing with economics behind it, then yeah, like, magic! Everything is now all of a sudden carbon removal!"

Anyone else get the sense that the same thing happened to "nature based solutions"? CF: www.vox.com/down-to-eart...

“Nature based solutions” is one of those terms that has been used so broadly it is almost hard to define— anybody know if “restoration” is the same? Does it have a specific legal, social, scientific usage, and is it compatible with Jaime’s suggestion?

Proposal: Unbundle the methods, stop calling it mCDR, and talk about “Restoring Seawater” to realize its CO2 uptake potential. It could help the public understand what Direct Ocean Removal and Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement have in common and avoid conflation with ecosystem manipulation.

The more I think about it, the more the term "mCDR" seems problematic. It lumps methods that would manipulate ecosystems (e.g. iron fertilization, macroalgae cultivation) with totally unrelated approaches that use the natural properties of seawater to accomplish CO2 drawdown from the atmosphere🧵 1/2

Next month, Oxford will publish my big climate book, THE LANGUAGE OF CLIMATE POLITICS.

The book dismantles the core propaganda of the fossil-fuel era, and it offers readers powerful new ways to talk about the #ClimateCrisis that will help create transformative change.

experts have a special responsibility to resolve technical disputes and inform the public. but for questions of high importance, or that require weighing risks and/or balancing different types of evidence, ultimately the public really *will* decide and *does* need to be part of the conversation

Recently we've seen a vibrant debate on when the world will firmly pass 1.5C.

Over at @carbonbrief.org I weigh in with a new analysis, finding that it will most likely occur in the late 2020s or early 2030s in a world where emissions do not rapidly decrease. www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-wha...

Asking your parent or grandparent or elderly neighbor if they are okay during a heat wave isn't the right question to ask. They may say "yes" and think its true when the answer is actually "no."

Study finds that the EU Emissions Trading Scheme induced regulated manufacturing firms to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 14-16% with no detectable contractions in economic activity. It finds no evidence of outsourcing to unregulated firms or markets. #ClimateSky academic.oup.com/restud/advan...

Influence of ocean alkalinity enhancement with olivine or steel slag on a coastal plankton community in Tasmania

Study by Jiaying Guo finds that slag is more effective for #OAE then olivine, and also has less environmental effect.
