If direct air removal costs $500 per tonne, removing just US emissions would cost ~$3 trillion annually (that's ~4x US military spending).

It would also require twice the total power generation capacity of the US today (and it has to be carbon-free).

From a survey of #climate and #environmental researchers in #Canada: "Almost half of respondents said they limited their communications with the public and policymakers due to fears of negative backlash and reduced career opportunities."

Trees are great but not as #climate solutions in a world where we’re emitting more than 37 billion tonnes of CO₂ from fossil fuels annually.

Read every word. Decarbonization has to come first. #CDR is only for legacy and residual emissions.

@Snoro Time to stop doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. - definition of insanity.

@Snoro nearly half of Canadians don’t understand the concept and have expectations twice as high as they should be for a measure meant only to be a small part of a comprehensive climate policy.

Collecting anecdotes, data, and anecdata on people and orgs who’ve left Twitter and found higher engagement from ostensibly fewer followers. This is in preparation for a renewed pitch to the org I’m in, to begin the process of x-trication. Boosts appreciated!

People with a special interest in climate change and climate crisis may appreciate our efficient regular compendium "SkS Weekly Climate Change & Global Warming News Roundup."

Our 49th edition for 2023 provides ledes and links for 28 items. This week's coverage is of course heavily dominated by COP28. But our main highlight is about an intriguing tool from #CarbonBrief helping to understand pathways to meeting the Paris Agreement goal.

@Snoro And the next COP will be another infuriatingly wasteful farce as will all those following as long as oil producers continue to host them.

I guess when he tweeted this, he was lying.

"Carbon tax accounts for 0.3 percent increase in food prices. That's 30 cents on a $100 grocery bill."

"Canadians are going to be disappointed when "axing the tax" does not result in promised affordability at the grocery store."

"Axing the tax' will bring such miniscule savings nobody will notice except for low income people who will no longer get the rebate checks."

"Axing the tax will on average benefit the wealthy and hurt everyone else."

Based on their inaction and false claims, I argue it should read "prefer to ignore and instead lie or mislead".

“What far too few leaders seem to grasp (prefer not to grasp?) is that every delay means an ever-steepening challenge. Canada has the widest emissions gap among the countries UNEP surveyed — a 27 per cent gap between policies in place and international commitments. The U.S. logs the next widest at 19 per cent.” nationalobserver.com/newslette
