The world’s forests today absorb a bit more than one gigatons of CO2 per year out of the atmosphere and turn it into biomass. We need to stop cutting and burning down existing forests (including preventing large scale forest fires) and we have to start planting more new trees.
“The NET Power plant captures the carbon dioxide that traditional plants spew into the atmosphere. It uses that CO2 under pressure, when the gas acquires some of the qualities of a liquid, to capture heat from the plant.”
“A team of researchers at the University of Oxford have revealed what they say is a cost-effective and efficient way of producing jet fuel from carbon dioxide, offering hope that one day vacationers might be able to jet off abroad without the cost—and associated guilt—of a hefty carbon footprint.”
"Real progress on climate change requires an honest brokerage of the issues, and a willingness to work on the nuts and bolts of pragmatic progress that can yield more benefits than costs.”
"The state will achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, and carbon offsets may play a role.”
“The new reactor designs rushing into the scientific discourse deploy technology and even natural physics to make safer, often smaller designs that can be used in different contexts."
"Even if Biden were able to encourage America automakers to rethink their production lines, China still controls the parts.”
“Numerous states, cities and companies have pledged aggressive climate change goals over the past several years."
Technological innovation and AI is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 16%.
“[Biden will] focus on reversing all the environmental regulatory rollbacks by President Trump, but beyond that Biden is expected to incorporate climate policies into other agencies. Two I’m watching closely are independent but nonetheless traditionally pursue policies the sitting president supports.”
