Thanks for the feedback - & certainly an insightful quote.

Thanks for the kind comment.

Ach ja. I tend to snort hopium, sorry. You're right of course.
And these 700Gt CO2 bound in rewilded areas currently in use for animal agri are also not safely stored in the new/old biomes. If climate keeps changing bc we keep emitting, they can go up in flames-eq too.

Hi Stephen. That’s certainly fine by me. I look forward to catching up.

You already can look it here. And it's really worth it.

Not sure - I'll enquire.

Not even for peat. Local climate impacts are too unpredictable for any biogenic CDR to provide certainty comparable to the guaranteed emissions from burning lithospheric carbon (oil/gas/coal), from AMOC risks to other feedbacks, especially as we've yet to demonstrate any effective global mitigation.

Agreed, but biogenic CDR is inherently temporary & uncertain, unlike the effectively permanent & guaranteed emissions from burning lithospheric carbon (oil, gas, coal). So use it to offset warming from unavoidable agricultural emissions, but it must not be used to compensate for fossil fuel CO₂.

Absolutely; we’ve left it far too late to rely solely on technology. Yes tech is a prerequisite of delivering on Paris, but it is now far from sufficient. We also need urgent & profound changes to the social norms of us hi-emitters - & that means stringent & fair legislation to cut our energy use.

1979: "Empathy and trust must be restored between politicians, administrators, businessmen[sic], and activist groups"
2025: "Instead of empathy and trust we've chosen delusion, misinformation, lies. Worse, this magical thinking has spread into expert communities notwithstanding the laws of physics"

🎯"This is the defining contradiction of our age: a species capable of extraordinary insight, yet seemingly incapable of acting in its own long-term interest. Whether this failure is a temporary lapse or a terminal condition remains unresolved. History, and geology, will render the verdict".

Well, the circumstance we are now in with the climate (that we all depend on to meet our needs) rapidly collapsing, means that those who are well off need to *accept* that many of our wants really aren't needs. That's necessary to "serve the poorest first," and for "the best for future generations."

I’ve little time for the elitist gong system. With occasional exceptions, it rewards those already privileged & who reinforce the establishment rather than challenge it. A scattering of minor honours for the underpaid/volunteers is moral camouflage for rewarding compliance & for flattering power.
