I've been following geoengineering claims for more than a decade, and I've rarely heard more irresponsible, exaagerated rhetoric than this from Wake Smith describing opponents: “This is the pitchfork brigades run amok” ... "The Luddites are back.” news.mongabay.com/2024/07/dont-e…

AI's real cost - boosting fossil fuel use so "every tech giant can compete to shoddily automate call center and illustration jobs, inundate search results with tips for how to eat rocks safely, and load up our social feeds with dubious deepfakes" bloodinthemachine.com/p/ai-is-revita…

So much for all their net zero and climate claims. These oil companies have been lying for decades to protect their outrageous profits. They are not part of the “transition” and no they should not be allowed to attend climate negotiations.

My PhD on geoengineering, Producing the Climate, is now available to read via University of Sydney library! Huge thanks to my wonderful supervisors Gareth Bryant and Kurt Iveson, as well as my generous examiners Geoff Mann and Chantel Carr. ses.library.usyd.edu.au/handle/2123/33…

Good news for carbon removal, or another step towards the development of a useless industry capturing millions of tonnes of CO2 (at high environmental and social cost) merely to justify growing emissions elsewhere? morningstar.com/news/business-…

"I don’t know about you, but the idea of a private, for-profit company selling geoengineering technology to the highest bidder will not help me sleep more soundly at night." cleantechnica.com/2025/03/23/sta…

Policy for governing solar geoengineering requires a better understanding of nonideal scenarios motivated by factors beyond climatic outcomes as well as careful governance of the research, argues Duncan McLaren in the latest issue of Ethics&IntlAffairs. carnegiecouncil.co/mclaren-solar-…

WTF? If Govt can’t even agree to this, which costs them zero & with no down-sides, what hope that it will step up to the bigger nature challenges we face? This is a *popular* policy, for heavens sake. Obstinate tin-eared stupidity doesn’t come close theguardian.com/environment/20…

Some of you will be annoyed by the findings of this study. 👀
