We've learned a lot from David Lang in working on an industry standard for CO2 removal via enhanced weathering -- and he's done the world a big favor by publishing what he learned through months of a deep dive on the under-appreciated magic of standards x.com/davidtlang/sta…

Global GDP growth = biggest thing folks overlook in considering whether world will bear the cost of multi-gigaton-scale CDR by mid-century. An (e.g.) $1T CDR bill would've been ~3% of world GDP in 2000; would be just over 1% today; likely to be <0.5% by mid-century. Huge diff.

Thoughtful, balanced piece by @jongertner on one potential ice sheet stabilization strategy. Other strategies also worthy of accelerated research; pursuing inquiry has huge benefit of helping us better understand fundamental dynamics of these systems nytimes.com/2024/01/06/mag…

Its been a big week for enhanced rock weathering! First a major study was released by the National Academy of Sciences finding strong positive results from a 4-year field trial in the US corn belt: ➡️ ~2.5 tons CDR / hectare/yr ➡️ Higher yields and lower N2O emissions pnas.org/doi/full/10.10…

Feeling lots of pride and gratitude - to the Cascade team and the Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) community - for the immense amount of work and insight that led to today's release of this touchstone guidance on quantifying carbon dioxide removal via ERW! x.com/CascadeClimate…

Spread the word! Love this approach to crowdsourcing more hypotheses about where we might find promising alkaline feedstock sources that we can harness for large-scale carbon removal. x.com/nanransohoff/s…
