This shows CDR-fear isn't about using it to reach net zero. It's that less will be done now due to the availability of future net negative emissions
Without CDR, targets would either need to be much sharper or 1.5C abandoned. 1/
Is a little nuance on CDR too much to ask?
Yes, we need to reduce emissions 90%+.
Yes, we need gigaton-scale CDR to deal with residual emissions and overshoot.
Yes, we should spend 99% of our resources today on emissions reductions.
Its not that hard!

“We are at a point where this technology has to be deployed urgently and the industry is poised to deliver it.”
“Now that there are net zero targets legislated, it means you have to take it seriously and deploy the technology in your sector.”

Results from poll on scientific activism from last Friday's @Nature briefing.
Over 80% of respondents feel researchers should be free to engage in #climate activism at scientific events.

👋 Sustaera here. We've developed a novel Direct Air Capture technology that uses renewable energy to remove, replace, & reuse carbon at a massive scale.
We’re delighted to be amongst the founders of this new alliance. Let’s build policies that pave the way for similar orgs.
“The playing field tipped when the [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] said we can’t avoid 1.5C of warming just by reducing #Emissions, that we’d have to sequester carbon as well, So it’s all hands on deck now.” - Lori Guetre @CarbonEngineer

In a world first, we captured CO2 from the atmosphere using our DAC technology & permanently sequestered it in concrete with @CarbonCure to ensure it never returns to the atmosphere. https://t.co/r06fyeKgdY
What a pleasure to talk to HRH the Prince of Wales about our technology, Oman, and what we need to do to scale mineralisation around the world. Thank you for your engagement, support and advice. #FixOurClimate@EarthshotPrize@KensingtonRoyal
We need to take #Action for our #Future. To stand the test of time; companies need to re-think how they do things. Putting #Purpose before #Profit, and taking a stand for our planet. It's time we put our skills to good use, transitioning to fix our climate.
#Climate#Work#CO2
It made it to #Oman! @MarkLeruste So AWESOME! Can’t wait to learn from your story and get your take on how to ramp up authentic engagement! #BestBook2023
The #UAE is buzzing! Looking to catch up with #CCUS providers and enablers at the @ADSWagenda
Got #CarbonRemoval solutions?
Let’s catch up!

BAM! California will prohibit the sale of new gasoline-powered cars by 2035. 100% of new cars sold in the state will be fossil fuel emission free. Who's next?
We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate#Climate#energy#EVs#renewables#GreenNewDeal
