Zero.  💬 I spent the last few days watching most of the special addresses given at the 2026 World Economic Forum: Trump, Carney, Merz, von der Leyen, Zelenski, and Macron.  🌡️ These speeches give a fascinating insight into what truly matters to the political elite today. What stood out to me: in almost four hours of speaking time, not ONCE did any of them mention climate change or global warming. 📑 This stands in stark contrast with the WEF’s own 2026 Global Risks Report,

🧐 Yesterday, I shared how the energy transition looks unstoppable, and all the incredible data from  Nat Bullard  to prove it. At the same time, it is a hard fact that the world will take years, maybe decades to wean itself off fossil fuels. 💡 If we’re going to burn oil anyway in the short to medium term, the difference between high-leakage, high-intensity barrels and cleaner ones is real climate damage avoided. 🔴 The common approach in the climate bubble is to dismiss any

Finally!  📣  The Guardian , a mainstream media outlet historically skeptical on the topic of geoengineering, has published four op-eds in the last month, all calling for a drastic change in our approach to geoengineering. 🌍 I was glad to see this editorial decision. The more I learn about the topic, the more I believe the current stigma around it is not serving humanity well. 🔬 No one here is arguing we should deploy commercial scale geoengineering today. All these authors

😱 The Joe Rogan Show is the world’s most listened to podcast. On average, each episode reaches 10-20 million people.  🔬 While we are busy infighting within the climate bubble, arguing whether CCS or CDR is a scam or a much needed climate solution, the world outside is destroying the very foundation our work is built on: science. 🔨 Over the break, I spent hours listening to hugely popular podcasts way outside of my bubble. Over and over again, I encountered a diminishing i

🤩 This is the biggest research project I’ve ever worked on: months of work with the TIDE Centre, University of Oxford, together with my brilliant co-author Raphaël Cario , culminating in a 60-page analysis on the Global South’s overlooked industrialisation opportunity. 📈 The headline: if scaled with the right policies, durable CDR could create 3 to 9.5 million jobs and $180-600 billion in annual economic value across the Global South by 2050. 🚀 Holding >70% of global bioma

👉 Today is the day: two of CDR’s heavyweights - Eve Tamme and TITO JANKOWSKI - AIRMINER - going head to head to debate one of the sector’s hottest topics: will voluntary or compliance markets scale CDR first? 📅 Make sure to tune in today at 3.15pm GMT+1 for this special edition of our beloved CDR Policy Scoop Showdown Debates. This time, live-streamed from the main stage at Carbon Unbound Europe. 💻 You - the online audience - will get to participate fully, from submitting

😩 Like many of you, I’ve been really taken aback by the IMO’s decision last Friday to suspend the adoption of its planned maritime carbon price by a year. 🌐 Details are starting to emerge on what happened, as shocked negotiators are taking stock of what this means for the IMO, and climate multilateralism in general. 🇺🇲 The tactics employed - especially by the U.S. - were completely unprecedented and caught supporters of this particular regulation off-guard. 🤷 So where do

🤔 Remember back in April, when the world celebrated a first-of-a-kind maritime carbon tax to help it achieve maritime's 2050 net-zero target? 👎 Well, that has just been suspended for one year with a real risk of being axed for good. 🇺🇸 Why? Exorbitant U.S. pressure, particularly on smaller countries, in the lead-up to the meeting. 💚 Back in April, 63 countries had voted in favour and only 13 against, despite the U.S. walking out on the meeting and threatening retaliatory

📊 A new national poll of 2,300 Canadians by Carbon Removal Canada and the Carbon Business Council shows two-thirds (64%) of Canadians support carbon removal — and four in five (81%) believe it’s essential for Canada’s future. Also remarkable: ✅ 67% believe it will create jobs and grow the economy ✅ 62% say they’re more likely to vote for candidates backing it ✅ 56% view companies more favorably when they invest in removals 🤝 This support cuts across political lines: from

⚠️ The IPCC is clear: we have to achieve net-zero CO2 by 2050. This is and has been the global rallying cry since 2018. 📉 What is less talked about: net-zero is not enough. Because every credible IPCC 1.5 °C and most 2 °C pathway assumes we overshoot our carbon budget — and must therefore spend part of the second half of the century removing more CO₂ than we emit. Some governments have already recognised it and are proactively developing roadmaps for this net-negativity. 🇸�

☕ I get it. CDR Policy certainly isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. But getting clear on the foundations is essential to engaging with all that goes on at COP. 🎙️ Earlier this year, the team at The Carbon Removal Show put together a 3-part deep dive into CDR policy - what it is, why it's important, and where it might be going. And best part, it's fun, and has plenty of cameos. 🎯 Part 1: Will help get you up to speed on context setting, diving into the evolution of carbon removal

⭐ Few countries have understood CDR as well as Switzerland. And some of its brightest civil servants have spent years designing cutting-edge CDR policy. 😍 Alongside my colleagues at @carbonfuture, we went deep into the topic and distilled everything you need to know into a beautiful, shareable policy brief.  🏆 Switzerland has created what most countries still lack: a clear, funded, and internationally connected framework for carbon removal. 👀 Check out the carousel for som
