Excited to share the cover of my first book. It lays out a framework for scaling climate solutions through success stories from around the world.

Canada's wildfire season has already emitted millions of tons of carbon dioxide. Some of that has come from a forest offset project that burned earlier this month (it almost certainly won't be the last) bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

FYI, this story contains ZERO on-record comment from NYC pizzeria owners who say climate rules would harm them or affect quality of pizza.
The only source who says that is an anonymous "pizza restaurateur," who gave no reason for anonymity

Brian was extraordinarily polite about me accidentally texting him my itinerary updates and, much more importantly, had really interesting and deep questions about the future of carbon removal.

Oh hey it's my first @climate byline. I spent last week hanging out with the world's biggest carbon removal stans. This is what I learned bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

We're entering the awkward teen years of removing carbon from the air. The technology itself doesn't necessarily need training wheels anymore. But it does need *a lot* of support and things to go right for it to mature to the scale needed...

Ultimately, CDR could become a productive member of climate change-fighting society. Or, despite the best efforts of everyone around it, it could end up being a slacker getting high on its parents couch (but with much higher stakes)

There's *a lot* running on carbon removal success - a massive amount of removal has been 'pre-purchased' by a range of customers, and a relatively small amount has been actually captured.

This is my final request that you read my many-months-long investigation into the far-right militias masquerading as emergency preparedness/relief orgs and why that doesn't bode well for a future plagued by super-charged natural disasters. #EMGTwitter grist.org/extreme-weather/bo…
