"ETH researchers estimate the cost of removing 1 tonne of CO2 from the air in the year 2050 to be between 230 and 540 US dollars. This is twice as high as previous estimates"
"The cost of removing large quantities of CO2 from the air will fall in the medium term, but not as much as previously hoped.
This is the conclusion reached by @ethz.ch researchers on the basis of new calculations. Efforts to reduce carbon emissions should therefore continue at pace"

Ganske alvorlig at Equinor-sjefen feilinformerer grovt på åpen scene.
Anders Opedal (CEO of Equinor) said something wrong here.
He said that the IEA said no need for new oil and gas before, now they say more oil and gas needed. This is wrong.
The no new oil and gas is if demand drops in line with 1.5C, and always has been.

The same for journalists. If a politician or business leader spits out 1.5C or net zero, ask them how fast emissions need to drop to reach net zero in 2050, and how fast they are dropping today. Point out the contradiction. Make them explain it.

Tiny but mighty mosses are so often overlooked but they are the reason northern #peatlands store so much carbon and persist as long-term carbon sinks.
Peatlands are resilient, but if we don't reduce industrial emissions, they may struggle.

Tingretten stansar ikkje tømminga av gruveavfall i tida fram til Høgsterett har avgjort saka. Naturvernorganisasjonane må betale 2,5 millionar kroner i sakskostnadar.

Franklin was no victim in how the DNA double helix was solved. An overlooked letter and an unpublished news article, both written in 1953, reveal that she was an equal player.
