How should we compare CO2 removal approaches that work on different parts of the carbon cycle and act on different timescales? Our newest article explores how to make better comparisons in both market and policy contexts.

There are good reasons to be excited about harnessing rock weathering to remove CO2 from the atmosphere. But demonstrating that enhanced weathering actually works is surprisingly tricky. We're releasing a new tool that we hope can help.

As rising temperatures threaten the health of populations worldwide, people need to know when and where extreme heat will occur. We collaborated with The Washington Post, creating a new dataset that is the basis for an important series. washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…

All day at the The Washington Post this has been the front page--it's awfully good when journalists cover the most important stories on earth so well, and editors play them appropriately Juliet Eilperin

1/ In “2C” we mapped the world’s hotspots. With “Invisible” we tracked greenhouse gas emissions entering the atmosphere. Now, in “The Human Limit” The Washington Post captures how extreme heat and other climate impacts threaten human health across the globe. washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…

“The Post analysis showed that by 2030, 500 million people around the world, particularly in places such as South Asia and the Middle East, would be exposed to such extreme heat for at least a month — even if they can get out of the sun.” washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…

I'm in the NYTimes 'Paperback Row' this weekend, and you've spent one of your 600 tweets reading about it.

Great Bloomberg piece on the need for regulation of CDR and the critical importance of MRV. Also nice to see the verification confidence levels we developed with carbonplan out in the wild! bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

Proud of this effort! Bringing together dozens of thought leaders over several years to create a primer on Carbon Removal. And so happy to see the amazing design team The Office of Ordinary Things featured in Fast Company

I’m from Alaska and understand the need to diversify our revenue streams! Taking advantage of lax carbon market rules shouldn’t be the answer, though — it lacks integrity, and it’s bad for the climate.

On Tuesday, Alaska passed a bill authorizing the development of carbon offset projects on State forests. Our new commentary discusses why this program could be a loss for the climate and the credibility of the voluntary carbon market. (1/2)
