Also wanted to uplift this passage for European #climate activists who see this 🧵:
"ETH Zurich confirmed... they had a contract with Stardust through to spring 2027 to research “mineral particles.”
Perhaps people connected to that university would at the very least want to raise some questions?

If America had a therapist and we had to describe our tradition of a late November “holiday weekend” to them I think they’d probably be thinking it’s time for an intervention.

Thanksgiving, a perfectly lovely family holiday that invites us to center gratitude and respect for nature’s bounty...
that is also the centerpiece of an elaborate cultural project of Indigenous erasure that masks the country’s true origins in genocidal conquest. 2/5

But this year we can use the consumer mania to fight fascism by VERY publicly boycotting three big corporations that are enabling the Trump regime's authoritarianism: Home Depot, Amazon & Target. weaintbuyingit.com #WeAintBuyingIt

I usually create a thread of options for people who would like to donate to a Native cause or struggle, but it has gotten HARDER to fundraise on socials over the past couple of years, so I am zeroing in on one ask this year. Pls support Native organizing infrastructure: nativeorganizing.org/donate/

As expected BECCS doesn't fair well:
"...merely the sum of the calculations performed by the IAM machine... So far, BECCS is essentially a psychic exercise in wish fulfillment...the centerpiece for all models for over-shoot-and-return...that has allowed policymakers to postpone emissions cuts." 🔌💡

LONG HEAT spends many pages assessing different removal proposals. Sadly most don't withstand scrutiny.
On afforestation claims the authors highlight their inherent vulnerability to climate breakdown as "like trying to cure Alzheimers...by thinking more often about what happened yesterday." Ouch.

💯 I think "extortion" is the essence of their VC pitch. It's notable that Pasztor the person Stardust paid to legitimize them is the one who uses that term in the article.
From a #climate comms perspective I push "disaster profiteering" as an effective frame for all these techno-fix start ups.

More reasons why OVERSHOOT of 1.5 is a terrible idea:
"[Carbon] removal would set off a process of outgassing, from oceans and forests and other spheres: sinks would somersault into sources...the more that is removed, the more will be outgassed...lending this project, too, a Sisyphean character."
