As the world grapples with the urgent need to address climate change, it has become increasingly clear that our built environment stands both as a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and as a sector… Read More »Reimagining Buildings: A Secret Weapon for Net Zero
When introducing climate engineering, I often begin with something deceptively simple: the napkin diagram. The story is regarding an esteemed colleague John Sheppard, who sketched the original while talking through climate pathways over a meal.… Read More »The Napkin Diagram: Understanding Climate Overshoot and Why SRM May Be Needed
As we approach COP30 with its focus on reducing emissions, I want to set out a clear view of how natural and man-made landscapes can deliver meaningful climate gains under two complementary principles: reduce emissions… Read More »A Practical Agenda – Managing Landscapes to Cut Emissions and Remove Methane
The climate conversation is shifting. Recent media coverage has been noticeably more open to serious research into climate repair and while this isn’t about the Centre for Climate Repair (CCR) per se, it reflects a… Read More »A Decisive Decade: Cambridge’s Three-R Strategy for Climate Repair
In this ClinateGenn episode I am speaking with Dr Mike MacCracken, a pioneering climate scientist whose research on atmospheric physics and global climate change has significantly advanced our understanding of human impacts on the climate… Read More »2.5ºC–3ºC Is Not Viable: Dr. Mike MacCracken’s Case for Solar Radiation Management
“As they’re released in the soil, they capture carbon.. which eventually makes its way into rivers and the oceans where it’s stored for thousands of years.”
It is important to note from the outset that reducing emissions is, without question, critical. But it is equally vital to understand that it won’t be enough on its own. The simple truth is that… Read More »Greenhouse Gas Removal: a critical component to cool the Earth system
In Part 2 with Dr Joe Romm, we discuss how offsetting impacts the NDC accounting systems that underpin the Paris Agreement
Dr Joe Romm was the acting assistant secretary for energy efficiency and renewables in the US Department of Energy, back in the 1990’s and also the founder of the now ceased Climate Progress blog. Today… Read More »Dr Joe Romm – Dodgy Offsets, Double Accounting + why solving climate is not a $2 a tonne problem.
Greenhouse gas concentrations are racing up with impacts touching the lives of many people and ecosystems in both the southern and northern hemisphere. How does the Centre for Climate Repair characterise the challenge with regard… Read More »Removing Carbon Dioxide Removal At Scale – balancing urgency with caution
