“…the IPCC say carbon removal is not…a replacement for reducing emissions. [But some corporations] talk about carbon removal…as a way of undoing their emissions.”

As #COP30 races to be the CDR COP, great time to listen to a podcast about overshoot and how little sense it makes.

New from me: I spoke to two scientists who originally helped spread the use of carbon capture. They now say it's being misused. Here's why (gift link):

In 1992, the Premier League was established, and governments pledged to prevent 'dangerous' climate change.

One of those things didn't work out.

Our second bonus essay delves deeper into carbon sucking, and explores why net-zero might be the most dangerous moment in history.

So it's official; the world's governments have failed to take the necessary actions and we're now going to #overshoot the goals of the Paris #climate accord

How should we make sense of this moment? And where do we go from here?

@overshootpod.bsky.social offers some suggestions
