Only the world ocean has the area, energy and resources to mine carbon from the air at climate relevant scale. But action is banned by the UN. Meanwhile, liars use the term “climate action” for activities like electric cars that cannot possibly scale to have climate impact.
Nature indeed is the only game in town so far, and we need to be investing sufficiently in large-scale conservation, restoration and rewilding while not throwing billions at clearly non viable CDR tech showpieces. I do believe tech may have a role in future but I’m exasperated by our mindset-blindness on this one. PS reposting on BlueSky, couldn’t find you there, and on LinkedIn. Thanks Quico!
PS The Climate Restorers is now going into short-format talk-show and news-magazine versions for widespread engagement including with youth leaders and faith communities, etc. https://www.theclimaterestorers.com/channel
There you go again, Quico, ‘shooting from the hip’! Bullseye! Thank you for your straight talk always!
