“According to the Global Carbon Project’s latest numbers, vegetation-based CDR is currently absorbing the equivalent of about 5% of annual fossil carbon dioxide emissions, while technology-based CDR accounts for only about one-millionth of the CO2 emitted from fossil fuels”

That harnessing nature for Carbon Dioxide Removal outperforms industrial attempts at CDR by a factor of 50,000 should tell us something

@urlyman
Which is why climate safety isn't just about energy descent + stopping burning fossil fuels, but also about protecting and restoring forests, grasslands, wetlands, wetlands and the ocean biosphere.

Without sinks we are sunk.
(Ooh I just made a slogan!)

@urlyman @markhburton it's only small gains but I'm hugely excited by the enlargement of Wicken Fen, both in terms of rewetting the peat and restoring biodiversity. More of this please.

…but CDR is not a replacement for reducing emissions. We need both.

Which means doing a lot less of most of the things that advertising tells us we should do without a care in the world

…banning advertising seems like a good idea (that will never happen)
