[email protected] chair explaining what pretty much all non-invested scientists say about carbon capture:
⛔️ Don't use it an an excuse to expand the fossil industry
⛔️ Don't use it for electricity generation.
I beg the CCC to make this official—say it out loud that the emperor has no clothes.

Climate action globally is under threat. It’s hugely urgent to seize initiative from rightwing populists. We need to change tactics: start by building climate resilience in local communities where people can feel tangible benefits – we’re calling it climate popularism. @rupertread.bsky.social & me🧵
It’s time for climate populism
