A weird property of the frontier: finding the edge forces a realization that there’s very few people there, the others who’ve found it are tightly clustered and therefore quite happy to see you, and you all can’t help but ask “where is everybody?” in escalating confusion

Here's your reminder that the whole idea of a personal carbon footprint was a targeted BP media campaign in 2005 and it worked so well that it seems like we've all forgotten this researchgate.net/publication/30…

no source, might be fake, don't care, cannot tear my eyes away

It’s strange that climate is so often framed as “save the planet”. The planet doesn’t care, it’ll be fine on geologic timescales. It’s about saving people.

👋 After more than a hundred conversations with experts across disciplines, I wrote an introduction to Negative Emissions Technologies. 📓This is for absolute beginners: it's the primer I wish I'd had when I started learning about the field last year!

I recently met a wooly pig on a Scottish farm and I can’t stop thinking about the fact that they exist

👋 🗽 personal (physical) news After more than 5yrs in SF, I’m moving to NYC (and continuing to work on Stripe Climate). Very excited to experience a new city coming out of COVID. Looking for new friends and housemates!

When I was little I looked at the space race and dreamed the world would rally around a huge science project again. 10+ gigaton scale negative emissions is that! It’s urgent, necessary, hard, dramatic, all of it. It’s the defining project of our generation.

In parallel with zeroing out emissions, we'll need to remove a trillion tons of CO2 from the air and oceans. We @lowercarbon just raised a new $350m to support the world's best attempts. There's never been a better time to start a carbon removal company!
