Social acceptance: Look at the backlash against data centers. Do you think people will want loud, energy-hungry direct air capture facilities in their backyards? Surveys also show that people don't like it when we mess with the ocean, so scaling ocean methods will face a lot of opposition.

I think the way to read the UNEP report isn't "we'll miss the 1.5°C target so we need CDR to reach it", but "we'll miss the 1.5°C target, and we need to decarbonize ASAP because wherever we end up is where we will stay for a long time."

A few facts:
• Deploying CDR at scale will require trillions of dollars annually, which only rich countries can afford.
• CDR will mainly benefit poor countries since they're the ones that suffer most from climate change.

Geophysical: For many of the more promising open-system methods, like enhanced rock weathering or ocean alkalinity enhancement, we currently can't quantify how much CO₂ is removed. This quantification is needed whether in the context of the IPCC or the carbon market.

2026-09-08 12:54:26 UTC

🧵CO₂ removal (CDR) is back in the news, but just because the UNEP report says we need CDR, it doesn't mean we'll have CDR. Many challenges will take decades of research and negotiation to solve. Here are some examples:
Technological: We currently don't have any durable CDR method that scales.

Governance: We don't currently have rules governing the deployment of the various ocean-based methods. We could work it out, but if progress on the London Convention/London Protocol, BBNJ, or deep-sea mining provides guidance, it will be a very long process that could take decades.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

30+ years ago, my mind was blown when my computer science professor suggested that one day, applications on our computers would be updated by contacting a remote server.
I don’t think he ever imagined that companies would also disable applications we’ve already paid for and installed.

Ugh. This is not a serious solution. It’s one thing if the device destroys CO₂ (it won’t), but if you have to collect a few kg of CO₂ from more than a billion cars, it ain’t gonna happen. Electric vehicles are fine. Stop trying to keep ICE around.

We have to be purposeful about ending the use of fossil fuels because they’re not going to end themselves anytime soon. While wind and solar are cheaper, they are not as profitable. Therein lies the problem.
