"Every good parent teaches their children that if they make a mess, its their responsibility to clean it up. So why aren't we taking this simple idea seriously when it comes to the climate crisis?"

"This paper explores the sensitivity of energy system decarbonisation pathways to the role of afforestation and reduced energy demands as a means to lessen reliance on carbon dioxide removal."

‌"In this review, we first survey how RRI thinking has already been applied to both carbon removal and sunlight reflection methods for climate intervention. We examine how RRI is employed in four types of activities: Assessment processes and reports, principles and protocols for research governance, critical mappings of research, and deliberative and futuring engagements."

"Accelerated weathering of limestone (AWL) has been proposed as a tool to capture CO₂ from effluent gas streams and store it primarily as bicarbonate in the marine environment. We evaluated the performance of the biggest AWL-reactor to date that was installed at a coal-fired power plant in Germany."
