I used the CO₂ removal (CDR) as time machine analogy to argue that while we need to research and develop CDR because it’s needed in the future, CDR is useless as a climate solution until we decarbonize drastically.

How it started / How it's going

Yes, same paper. Yes, the first one got a lot of attention at the time. Yes, it was just evidently wrong.

I showed my students this movie of how atmospheric #CarbonDioxide (CO₂) travels around the globe and you should see it too.

What's wrong with the story?

These figures are based on a laughable "fake paper detector" that literally consists of the following ONLY:

1) do authors use private (non-institutional) email addresses and

2) have no international coauthors

That's it.

If these criteria are met, the paper is deemed a "potential red-flag fake publication" and counted toward that 30% tally.

(The authors later also check to see more than 10% of the citations go to papers that also fulfill these criteria.)

Get this: they can determine the sex and the population-genetical affiliation of a person who lived 20,000 years ago by sampling a pendant she wore. They have no other remains of her body. In recent years we have alse seen ancient human DNA being recovered from chewed birch pitch and floor dirt!

Rosalind Franklin update!

“A new paper based on long-lost documents confirms that DNA discoverer Rosalind Franklin should be credited for discovering the double helix.”

I painted this portrait of a redbreast European Robin - Erithacus rubecula - in acrylic on a loose abstract background in vibrant orange.
I have great fun watching the birds in my garden and in nature. In winter they come to the bird feeder and enjoy sunflower seeds. In spring and summer they visit the garden looking for insects. So much inspiration for an artist!
