A major US deep-ocean monitoring network is being scaled back. “Ongoing monitoring of the ocean is critical, especially now. Concern in the oceanography community about major ocean current changes ahead is large,” says PIK scientist @rahmstorf.

“Countries have pledged around 2.7bn tonnes of carbon removal by 2035 and about 3.6bn by 2050, but climate pathways require much more,” said PIK's William Lamb, co-author of the #StateofCDR report. “This leaves a gap that grows significantly over time.” https://t.co/gbelISmWRe

"Imagine your home filling up with every piece of waste you've ever produced. That's what we're doing to Earth's atmosphere with CO₂", states PIK Director #Edenhofer. New PIK video on Planetary Waste Management & how to clean up the atmosphere 👉

National pledges of carbon dioxide removal #CDR versus pathways limiting warming to 1.5°C this century:
➡️Gap of more than 5 bn tonnes of CO₂ removed per year by 2050. #StateofCDR report w/ PIK input.

CDR might need to scale faster than solar.

PIK presents core research topics in a YouTube series.

How stable is our planet? How can we remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere? How can we combat global heating, adapt to certain changes? And more. Director @jrockstrom kicks things off. #Climate

The EU carbon price on imports #CBAM could incentivise EU trade partners to adopt carbon pricing as well. With this response, global emissions reduction is 73% over and above the impact of the EU #ClimatePolicy alone.

NEW in @NatureClimate: Investing before 2030 to pivot away from coal in #steel production is now 53% cheaper than what it would cost to reduce the same amount of emissions later on in other parts of the economy or through carbon removals.

Scientists and the UN are acknowledging the Paris climate treaty goal of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius warming is now implausible without it getting warmer and then being artificially cooled.
